Another what I did today thread

Small flakes fluttered down for several hours but thawed on impact. it's still close to freezing though.

I have been housebound all day with the snow

soop how are you and MrS today

Clear blue sky, tinged with palest pink. Placid sea. No wind. Crispness in the air. Gorgeous in Kintyre.

No white stuff here. Just overcast
nellie if you have a 3G tablet they work in the canaries.

D GS s left yesterday and I've decided that because there is very much more fluffy white stuff out there than the weather man foretold I will keep my leccy blanket on all day and keep returning to my pit between being clever with leftovers.
Made the most disgusting curry last night with beet root magenta chicken curry from a one pot cookery book. Seems better today but the times had a beet root curry recipe in this morning and a variety of ingredients plus curry paste. I don't see athe point of putting lots of spices together then adding curry paste .

Beautiful cold, sunny day here with blue, cloudless sky. Am feeling exhausted after 3 days of gs's here. I am in charge from mid day when DD and SiL go to a wedding. Luckily a friend is coming to give me moral support and help with bath time. I feel as if my eyes have been rubbed with soap - why do little ones have such disturbed sleep and why can't their parents get up and deal with them and not leave it to me! Wouldn't mind if I wasn't trying to get ready to leave for Oz on Wednesday.

Thunder at 7am this morning followed by snow, we have several inches. I do hope it is not going to stop me getting out for lunch.

Bar + late night meeting with friends = 'mystery virus'. The 'hair of the dog' might help Ariadne.

Ariadne a good breakfast and coffee works well for those types of virus morning

Pretty mysterious virus if it can work that fast ariadne. Hope you are perking up as the day goes on.

ariadne , you were just having a weary moment.

Ariadne Watch out for those viruses

Seem to have a slight "mystery virus" this morning - must have caught it from the friends with whom I was in the bar last night!

Theseus is at his meeting, and I'm just finishing a leisurely breakfast. He is a bit tired - you have to walk miles to various rooms in these big hotels, and of course he couldn't miss anything. There are about 600 of us here, and between us I swear we know most of them. Lovely.

Honestly, why was I being such a wuss about this???

glass I thought it was you I saw on the motorway I was in Cheshire Oaks at Ellesmere Port on Thursday sorry I missed you

Oh no we Are covered in the white stuff again this morning.

nellie enjoy your trip

I have been all over the country the last two days, Shotton yesterday then drove the long way to Cheltenham through Ludlow, Wrexham and lots of other places. Today started in Cheltenham up to Anglesey, then up to Windermere and home again, I have been through some gorgeous scenery and wished I could have stopped off instead of driving through but I have got a flat bot with sitting for two days in the car.

I packed my case for my geology trip to the Canaries! Several times! Why does stuff not go into a case the same way twice.

As we are going to be travelling around in a minibus I need my backfriend seat base, or my back will be complaining at any squidgy bus seats. Then there are my walking poles to protect the same dodgy joints. I find it hard to find comfortable seating anywhere but at home so I go equipped.

Just about getting exicted now. But will OH be ready in time to drive with me to the station 6 miles away to bring the car back? That is the anxiety making bit.

I shall miss a whole week of Gransnet that will be hard.
Be good! and don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Well done Ariadne, enjoy your time with your friends knowing that you've made Theseus happy.
"Worrying in advance" is something I've been trying to give up for years!

Here I am at the Hilton in Birmingham, having had a very comfortable drive. Theseus is at a meeting and in a minute I am meeting some friends in the bar!

I do worry dreafully in advance of things, and now think that I have been in this bubble of caring and doing for over three weeks, and was almost reluctant to step out of it. But there was no way out, and I did it, and I will try to learn from this. Meanwhile, my dear friends, you all understood exactly! So thank you.

But you love them don't you?

Ariadne do hope drive went ok if you did it sadly I doubt will ever know hoe wearing my little grand daughters are but hope you feeling better today!

Yes Galen but best they did not use dodgy stuff!

Soop so glad you oh op a success.

Oh whenim if only! Must be tiring would so love that sort tiredness sorry not meaning to be unkind just had very bad day yesterday!

Sometimes it is just so overwhelming.
