I have arranged for a couple of brave Colleagues to pick you up, told them you would be hiding behind the Pampas Grass:rotfl:
You will get different honking, so be prepared

Will be strange for me tonight, after 10 years there. Started to clear out my lockers last night, a weird feeling:o Can't believe it has come round so quickly. Suspect something is being planned as a Shift Brief has been arranged around my finishing time:think:

Stay safe everyone, still plenty of the white stuff here and still falling but not so heavy and occasional sunshine. Plenty of kids off school and enjoying themselves on sledges. In fact one of my big kids (34) is sledging by quad bike on the farm!

Life changing stuff Fred....but I get the feeling you’ll love retirement....more time for lovely holidays and spending more time with family. Hope you get a great send off and I will listen out for a different honk tomorrow:rotfl:

Well that’s my half hour lunch over:o

I’m working from home today. During a Skype meeting at which I’d volunteered to do the minutes, I sneezed and my nose started bleeding. Before I could get a tissue, it ran down my arm, onto the table and all over the computer keyboard.

Oh lordy:o

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.

I remember that winter very well. Snow was on the ground from mid Nov to the end of Jan. We lived about half a mile from the road end and we seemed to be constantly snowed in, no sooner had you cleared the track in the lull, more snow would fall and be blown across the fields just creating even bigger drifts. Lost count of the times I dug us out. Temps at worst were between -18 to minus -22, during the day not getting better than -9 but shovelling snow kept you warm. Our postie didn't even attempt to deliver to us he just left it at the post office a few mile away for us to collect as and when we got out.

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.

Oh Di, hope all goes well on Friday, keeping everything crossed for you!
