Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark, but looks dry and frosty here in brackley , will do my usual day out to Buckingham and Bicester .
If the forecast is accurate tonight could see a downfall of snow ,and therefore disrupt plans for the rest of the week.
My 3 holiday breaks secured yesterday for later in the year, the person who does them was flooded with customers and queuing to be served , especially with a single room booking it was a case of an early book, as he has only so many slots of single rooms, no supplement by the way.

Morning Mick, morning All from a dark and cold corner of Somerset. Heard rain a little while ago, seems quiet now though. Little sleep for me. Plan some sorting today. Good to have your three breaks to look forward to mick, where are you off to? Hope Tuesday is kind to everyone.

Good Morning Mick; Another lovely day here. 35C. No wind, but unfortunately no rain. Still agog waiting for your expert advice on Win10 so as to be on guard should the same affliction occur here. Where will your holiday plans take you? If "Down Under" there are more than a few GNetters here to guide you! Good Health and Take Care. OoRoo

I was just thinking of my great uncle, a lovely man. This is what he used to say when he walked into my grans and we were all there.
Hello altogether

Dark, wet and no stars so probably cloudy.
Going to a funeral today.

Have a good day everyone ?

Good morning all from a dark and snowy Aberdeenshire.
There's a sparky coming this morning to fit a new front door light and a security light at the back so I better get up...he could be here 8.00'ish.
Have a good day everybody.

Good morning seems to be dry in Leicestershire.
We too are having a light fitted this morning and the cleaner.

Going for a dinner tonight for Women’s Aid.

Good morning to Mick and those who followed. Woken up with toothache which is now hurting for several teeth either side of the offender - an abscess I suspect. I have an appointment tomorrow ?. Photography class today. Guessing our assignment may photos of snow later in the week!

Good morning Mick and All.

Back after 3 nights of fun and games with the 2 DGSs. It’s lovely to be sleeping back in our own bed.

Very cold in South Bucks. It’s making my skin dry and itchy must lather on the Sudocreme..

Off to stock up the larder (wish we really had one) and buy some new trews before the snow arrives tonight. We might even have a toasted sarnie at M & S, we know how to live dangerously in this neck of the woods ?.

Good morning all. Cold and frosty in East Northants. Doing some paint jobs indoors and a bit of sewing for granddaughter today. I guess the weather will dictate the rest of the week! Keep warm everyone!

Marydoll Tue 29-Jan-19 07:36:34

Good morning Mick and all, I was awakened by an early morning phone call from DS to say DGD can't go to nursery, due to the heavy snowfall. confused.
We do indeed have snow, so we may have a wee overnight visitor!
After a day of the winter vomiting bug, I'm a tad fragile, but that is what grandparents are for, isn't it? smile.
Good to hear you manged to get your trips successfully booked, Mick.
I tried to post a photo of the snow, but it was too dark. I shall return later, once I have made the pancakes, DGD has insisted on having for breakfsat.
Take care today, everyone.

Feeling grim so taking a break from GN until I beat this lurgy.

Grammaretto Tue 29-Jan-19 07:46:05

Morning all from the Scottish Borders. No snow yet. I'm going on a planned walk today so had better wrap up.
The bird table needs replenishing.
Poor sufferers of toothache and sickness. Get well very soon.

Good Morning everyone from a warmer, snowy part of Cheshire. It's not snowing now and not much fell but looks pretty. It's a bit warmer today too. Going for a swim this morning as a change from the gym then home to ironing. Still watched the latest episode of Madam Secretary last night, just love this series! Anyone else have a favourite series?
Have a good day everyone

Good Morning all from a white Fife. Unexpected I have to say but it's here. Was due to go out for coffee this morning with my friend but not sure if that will now take place. Marydoll can you send some virtual pancakes please? smile. Hope all is fine with everyone for those feeling under weather take care.

Morning Mick and all from South Welsh coast.
Mil and Fil's funeral this afternoon, both aged 94..
Had service last evening in local church where they were resting overnight.
Take care today everyone.

Good morning folks

Good morning Anniebach x

Cold, grey and frosty in SE Essex, we have snow forecast for this evening, hopefully after my Physiotherapy appointment!!

Nothing planned for today.

Keep warm and safe.

Good morning all, very cold and frosty in Hampshire.
Day in today, lots of paperwork to do. And then the best bit doing the shredding!! Easily pleased?
Have a good day and take care

Good morning from a grey skied Colchester. No sign of frost or snow here yet.
This and that today. Must replenish the hot drinks as all the varieties seem to be disappearing fast.

aggie Tue 29-Jan-19 08:08:40

Morning All from a dark cold wet Armagh , we were forecast snow , but it is rain that is bucketing down ! I dread snow and frost in case I slip , so it usually means I am afraid to go out . Oh well it is warm and cosy indoors , roll on Spring smile

Good morning all from the Durham area. Grey clouds but not much of the white stuff for us although very cold. DGC day 2. We may venture off to a gym class with them to run off their energy. It was a joy to watch them running happily among the gravestones yesterday. Such a lovely feeling that I had brought them close to the resting place of my grandparents, parents and sisters. The cycle of life.
Have a happy day everyone.

megan123 Tue 29-Jan-19 08:20:18

Good morning all. Snow fell last night on the hills here although it has stopped now. Take care everyone and keep warm.

Morning everyone from a dry & mild South Manchester. I can see an orange glow coming up from behind the Pennines - the sky over there looks beautiful.

dragonfly48 I’m curious about where you are having the cleaner fitted?!

Kate63 my favourite series at the moment is Cold Feet. The actors in it are brilliant. I watched it on catch up last night and Fay Ripley who plays Jenny was superb - I cried it was so moving.

DH making chilli for dinner tonight. We will come home to eat it after we are back from taking our grandson for his swimming lesson. I hope it doesn’t snow till we get home!

Good morning all.
1inamillion a hard day ahead for you and all the family but thinking about it, how much sadder to see one elderly parent bereaved after a long long marriage. My father predeceased my mum by 5 years and seeing him at her funeral broke my heart. He really didn’t want t go on afterwards. Thinking of you. Sincere sympathy to all with aches andpoolinesses (especially toothache - age’s revenge) .
I have remembered just in time that friends are coming over for lunch at the pub in the village so just have to hope my Ocado order (2-3pm) is not early ?
Wishing you all a pleasant day.

Sorry dragonfly .... 46 not 48! User names with numbers do seem unnecessary. dragonfly itself is a great user name!
