Morning 

Hugs to those that want/need them, those who are poorly and those who are looking after a poorly person x

Happy birthday to those with a birthday x  

Very dark start to the day. 

DH and DS1 getting ready for work, I'm showered, dressed and  enjoying my first cuppa and my porridge whilst on here.  DS2 settled and happy.

Lunch yesterday was roast lamb, some left for another meal.  Dinner not sure for today - maybe leftovers.

Back to work today, I'll see what sort of mess I've been left with this week!  At least management have been made aware. Supposedly the staff concerned have been spoken to.  We'll see what I walk into this morning!

Keep safe and well x

Good morning, thanks for starting NMLC - hope work is ok.

There seems to be a slight frost but it's dry, I'll get some washing out I think.

It's the book club in the library this morning, the book we've just read was good I thought, we'll see what the others have made of it.

We had Dgs yesterday, and took him to a "branch" of the Railway Museum which is about half an hours' drive from here in S Durham. he loves it there, then the obligatory trip to McD's.

He is changing, growing up a bit, though he'll be 5 in March. Starting school has helped I think.

Not a lot going on here generally, on Saturday evening I sorted through my card making things, after tidying a cupboard or two in the kitchen during the afternoon. I always seem to be pottering with cupboards and drawers!

Anyway I'll stop rambling on and wish everyone a good day today,  Thoughts to our poorlies, take care today folks.

Good morning folks. A slow start to my day. I semi-woke much earlier but just lay in the darkness and warmth for a while. No sight of the snow moon here, too much cloud which shows no sign of shifting. 

Today I hope to visit my elderly bed-bound neighbour, I haven't seen him since before Christmas, shame on me. I've got a tub of his favourite cashews to tempt him into eating. 

I hope that everyone is doing well. I'm cheered up by seeing daffodil stems shooting up, clusters of cheeky snowdrops and my rose bush pushing out buds. Got my fingers crossed that the grass stays in hibernation a bit longer. 

Happy Monday to all.

Yes Gers, I managed to dry my washing yesterday.

I also have Helibores and snowdrops in flower.

Happy Monday to all. x

Thinking of all the poorlies hugs to those that need them have a good day everyone whatever you are doing

Iris - my lonely hellebore is also in bloom, I tried to get a photo but it's facing the garden wall. Here's my swathe of snowdrops instead.

Morning all

Very cold here and a sharp frost, OH is just lighting the fire to keep us cosy.

OH and I are off to a funeral today a very old friend of us both, his children and my sister and I used to play together as children as did OH, he was a real old Sussex character he was a thatcher by trade and love nature, I think the funeral will be packed today, a lot of people loved him.

Not sure about dinner tonight will go and look in the freezer after this.

Have good days Ann and take care xx

Morning all, bit of a chilly one this morning ,a car windscreen scraping one to be sure. Nice blue skies though. I'll probably light the log burner later. Undecided what to do this morning, not been in town for a couple of weeks & DS is home today so he can tend to DDog if need be. My opportunities for going on my bus rides to the next towns are a bit limited atm, as I cant leave her for that long these days. I don't need anything apart from a new flask for the men to take to work, they've managed to wreck the pourer thing in the lid and it's a bit leaky. Whether I'd get one in town is another matter! I could take a couple of library books back but am still reading one , not that thrilled with it though- I suppose I could renew it. Right, decided- I am going, this can't be bothered mindset has to be vanquished!, better get ready then.

Yesterday was a roast pork dinner, with trifle for the men. Some veg and potatoes leftover that I can use tonight too.

Hope all are well, take care x

Morning everyone
Chilly here this morning especially as my heating isn't working. I'll ring the housing association in a minute - it's always hard to get through on a Monday morning.
I'm not at work this afternoon as I have a course on zoom - I always it hard to concentrate when I'm just sitting on the sofa with a cuppa - but it saves travelling any where. Hopefully the speaker will be interesting.
I'll prepare my tea so it's ready to just pop in the oven - going to make some cauliflower cheese and roast veg.
Right I'm going to get on - hope everyone has a good day x

take care all

Topsy  - sorry that you didn't get the job, it'll come back to you at some point.  Has your complaint to PALS been acknowledged? I hope that your son is slowly recovering,

Snoozer - how was the birthday lunch?

Sorry for being so disjointed this morning - all these things come to me in dribs and drabs.
