Morning all

Frosty when I got up this morning but it's all gone now but still very cold

Just finished housework downstairs so sitting upstairs with laptop and coffee while the floors dry  Expecting a delivery today so what's the betting he comes while they're drying!

I too hope Dawn gets her medal Mehefin and hope Scarlet's procedure went well

Apart from that not alot going on here so I'll wish you all a good day and hugs for the poodles x

Morning all.  As forecast, it was very cold overnight and this morning there was thick frost everywhere.  Now we have a beautiful blue cloudless sky, no wind, but there doesn't seem to be any warmth in the sun. 

Yesterday I had my walk out, returned one book and borrowed another, deposited soft plastics in the Co-op's recycling bin and bought a couple of things, one of which was their frozen food deal, a mix & match 3 for £4 offer.  I chose 3 boxes of battered fish fillets, two per box; with some chips and peas (or whatever) they make a nice Friday fish supper.  I managed to shoehorn them into the freezer so that's my Friday teas sorted for a few weeks.     

When the general waste bins were emptied yesterday I collared the crew to ask why our recycling bins weren't being done.  These large communal bins have lids that are locked - you have to "post" your items through a slot in the lid, a bit like a giant letterbox - and they said they either didn't have a key or the right key to unlock the lids!  What, since November????  I tried to ring the council but gave up after hearing I was number whatever in the queue and the approximate waiting time would be 30 minutes.  And it's not a free phone number either.  Instead I've fired off a strongly worded email so we'll see what response that brings.  Sorry, rant over.

It's hairdresser day today and, if I remember rightly, she's put up her prices from this month.  Tbf, I'm surprised she's lasted this long before doing that.  When I get back I have some "repairs" to do - ie sticking broken things back together - and then just pottering.  Tea tonight is a prawn salad with sponge pudding and custard for afters.

I hope you all have a good day with no mishaps or setbacks getting in the way.  Take care.  X
