Good morning from South Lanarkshire. It's snowing a bit but nothing major yet.

Careful on the roads and pavements if you go out.

Good morning.
It's a lovely, bright morning here, but cold again. The ground is wet & puddly so it's been raining through the night. Looking at the forecast, it doesn't look too bad, but I will need to wrap up warm when I go out.
Those of you feeling unwell, keep warm and cosy and I hope you feel better soon.
Enjoy your new purchases, Auntieflo. Sometimes, it happens like you describe! ?

Good morning everyone. We are back in South Manchester now from Malaga to find a dusting of snow on the decking. Brr!

Good morning all. If the pixie boots came from a well known shop famous for not being Colder, Auntie Flo you have made a wise choice. I practically live in mine since I bought them in the sale earlier this month and my feet have never been so warm and happy!

We now have heavy snow falling , we have wee grandadughter, I've got to go out and DIL has just phoned to say, she has a puncture on the way to work. What will she do? I hope the day gets better! grin

Good morning, quite bright but damp after overnight rain.
Slept in and was woken by, what sounded like, a very large truck with reversing beeps. Looked out of the window and it was a road sweeper, never seen one in ten years or so.
Yesterday I received a most beautiful bouquet, it was from DD who lives abroad, things like that can brighten your day.

Good morning from a damp,dull Gower.Back to Shropshire today.We were hoping to stay for lunch but will probably set off quite soon as snow is forecast for most of the route home.Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all. Bright in S.E after night rain. Still had to break thin layer of ice on birdbath, though. Must do intensive (for me) cleaning this week, as very house proud friends coming at the weekend. Have a good day and get well soon all sufferers.

Grammaretto Tue 22-Jan-19 09:43:06

Marydoll I hope your DD gets help soon with the puncture and your DGC enjoys the snow. shock

Good morning. Lovely bright day in east London and as others, bright moon earlier, too late for the eclipse. Tennis again this morning then a date later this evening with DD and DGD to go to Canary Wharf to see its new year lights. May end the day stuffing and transporting boxes as DD is having her kitchen renewed starting tomorrow.

Morning All

A lovely bright sunny morning here in Norfolk, but only about two degrees according to the outside thermometer.

The house is in chaos with progress being made on the dining room floor so DH and I are marooned in the back room with the dining room furniture. I have to go out later to the shops and I’m a bit worried about leaving DH alone. Clearing out the drawers (numerous) from the dining room has brought on a bout of spring cleaning fever and he’s started on the loft!!!!

Is everyone absolutely sure 'Windows 10' is Micks problem? Maybe holiday? Are posters all personally involved? Still not sure how this works. hmm??

MawBroon Tue 22-Jan-19 10:18:49

As I said a few days ago he rang me last week to say that it was his computer.

Irenelily Tue 22-Jan-19 10:21:47

Missing you Mick, hope all well?
Lovely day here in Thanet after yesterday’s all day ice. Still a bonus - 8week old great grandson visited and laid on floor and “did his exercises” !!
Must get out and walk soon while the sun lasts!
Have a good day everyone!

Megs36 Tue 22-Jan-19 10:32:23

Ok Maw Broon, suitably told off☹️☹️

MawBroon Tue 22-Jan-19 10:37:59

Sorry didn’t mean it to sound like that! blushflowers

Good morning. Lovely and sunny, but cold, in this part of the West Mids. There was a fox in the garden this morning.

angelic Tue 22-Jan-19 10:45:36

Morning all,
Very cold and icy in Hampshire this morning.
Was up early to take Grandchild to school, a bit slippery under feet!!
Have a good day and take care

oldgaijin - your mention of family moving to Singapore struck a cord. Both my daughter and my son moved to the other side of the world and started their families there. I was happy for their own happiness but heartbroken inside. However- they have both emigrated back and now both live within 10 minutes of the family home. I feel your pain so much - but hopefully 3 years will pass and your family will be back again.

A bright start has now descended into sleet. Spotted the Scrappies in the close and got him to take my old rotary line that's been hanging around for weeks, or as DH calls him ' the call to Mecca'
In process of buying the freehold and had bill for the fees based on 12 months ground rent, but we pay that every 6 months always have done ?

A late good morning All.x
Woke up to the sound of hailstones pelting against windows and the sky going back to nightime. Heard rumblings overhead so didn't switch on until it passed about 10 minutes ago.
Rather cold out and it's starting to go dark again. I won't be going far that's for sure.
Hope all is well with everyone

Auntieflo Tue 22-Jan-19 11:10:53

MawBroon, thank you, yes they came from that place! I had looked on line, but they didn’t have my size. So, as I was mooching, the shop was there, right in front of me, and there were so many pairs in my size, I had to be sensible.
I am looking forward to wearing them.

Good Morning , I am a bit late but I have been up and about ! Blinding sun here but the thermometer tells me it is nippy out
