    Got a good walk in today but the rain was torrential I would like to do a bit more still feeling motivated but it has to snow tomorrow and for the next 5 days and it’s hard going when the weather is so bad oldest son just rang he has spells where he rings all the time or you don’t hear of him for weeks I just go with the flow with him he has got a busy life and work is full on at the minute I said I would love a day out and a mooch around the shops and stop for a coffee and maybe lunch and he said the same I am surprised as he’s not much of a shopper but said he could do with some new smart work trousers and would just like to go and choose a pair and try them on I think it is the everyday things we are all missing have a good day everyone whatever you are doing

    That’s what I’ve missed, a mooch around the shops with a coffee and lunch stop. On the plus side I’ve saved loads by not being able to do this.

    I’ve not been out of the house yet today but need to nip to the shops after work. The snow here fell overnight then thawed now it’s just starting to fall again, quite thick flakes too. I’m fed up of being cold too. On the plus side you burn more calories keeping warm 😆

    I got my new iPad from Amazon. You can buy refurbished ones from places like Music Magpie. The mini iPads and ones with less memory are cheaper. I went for a normal size one with lots of memory because I use a lot of apps.
