Quick check in as I believe JTS was asking how I was getting on. Not great is the answer its all gone wrong and I need more surgery on Friday. Scared hubby to death they thought the op that ending up lasting 22 hours had caused brain damage because apparently I was just lying there staring into space.
I hope everyone is ok happy birthday Chelsea Fred I'm about to lose power as everything's lost its charge I cannot believe where the last five days have gone to. I'll need to ask a nurse to charge all my devices but they are so busy I don't like buzzing my buzzer.

Hope all goes well on Friday Di x

My eggs from yesterday have gone payable too

I needed bread and milk so figured it best to get them now before the apocalypse starts tomorrow. Plenty of both in that shop. Bloody media stirring up mass hysteria and causing panic buying.

I nipped out for an extra loaf yesterday, but only because I prefer the Welsh Bakery bread and they have all the weather there to contend with. Spare milk in boot.

It's 0.9 outside according to my indoor gizmo which tells me these things. So not bad compared to other places. I have extra gloves and scarves out ready for morning and yesterday I parked the car facing out so I won't have to start in reverse if it's frosted up, and that's the sum of my preps.

it was -5 when I went round to sort the chickens out at 7am :eek: we've got a job on with their water freezing over and trips to clear the snow off their roof so all our efforts are concentrated on that

I even got a snowman built round there yesterday :rotfl:

Oh you have my sympathies, I'm so grateful it's milder here.

I've never forgotten the impact of winter 2010/11, when I was snowed in (high in the Welsh hills) for weeks on end. It snowed mid Nov, then froze, then stayed frozen, then snowed again, and I got out twice - once by landrover for 2 hrs on Xmas Eve to get some Xmas food in, and once by car on 29th Dec to see family. Driving downhill on packed ice was a nightmare. It was like being on another planet. The post could only get to a farm a mile downhill, so they used to bag everybody's up and leave it in their porch to be collected. And the farmer used to take his tractor to the nearest village to bring supplies in. The hill roads finally cleared the second week in January. Everywhere looked stunning, but you can't live off a good view. I moved out by the April.
