Urgh. My imminent coughy irritating chest infection thing has been done no favours on a below freezing stall for 6 hours. Can't breathe
Tommorow I will be either in bed or in front of the fire.

On a cheerier note my bank balance will be looking much healthier

You could try a hot steamy bath. It may help.

Yesterday, my voice was a bit hoarse but I felt ok and I enjoyed my club Christmas meal. Today I woke up wit no voice at all.

The grass is white but not the rest of the ground. A mad tree surgeon called yesterday and is coming back this morning to reduce the height of the trees in the back!

They left a large pile of logs right in the corner where my spring bulbs will be coming up, which never occurred to Mr K. I started to move some of them to the opposite corner this morning, but they were covered in snow and my hands got too cold.

Owww, Kizzy is biting my ankle, better go and feed the ravening horde before they all start on me.

There is no snooze button on a cat that wants its breakfast.

Lexi bites my nose.

Bloomin' cold here in this deepest darkest corner of East Anglia.

Went to the agricultural tool place up the road this morning to get a new chain for my saw. The old chain had got to the point where sharpening it was a wasted exercise. Then I moved a stack of wood from right out the back of the garden to the saw horse under the porch, and after that, I split what I sawed yesterday. There was a very fine-looking petrol-powered log splitter at the tool place, but at £600 it's a bit rich for me. Instead, I'll stick to being a dab hand with an axe and a chopping block.

Sat and watched the racing and the snooker this afternoon.

Then this evening I baked a lithuanian gingerbread cake and cooked a wonderful supper of medium-rare beef fillet, roast tatties and cauliflower & broccoli cheese with gorgonzola.

Now about to sit down with a and watch MOTD.

Went to the coal bunker earlier after finding out about the snow forecast tomorrow and -5c on Monday, only to find about two to maybe two and a half fires-worths of coal in it. "Blimey" I thought.

A bowl of steaming water with some olbas oil, then a hot chamomile tea with a slice of lemon, a dollop of honey and a splash of something stronger. Wrap up warm, hun xxx

Sorry didn't long on earlier. Been feeling miserable today and didn't want to drag you all down.

But I bought myself a new book and some fairy lights to cheer myself up. Sat by the fire listening to some xmassy music.

Glad to see you back. You always sound such a busy and creative person.

Also today, finished "Twists and Turns", chapter 45 of my Babylon 5 fanfic, "The Fires We Breed". Linda has finally made it back home to Babylon 5, Sonovar, recovering from the assault and telepathic scan, knows he's in big trouble, and Mazic inadvertently figures out something that Neroon would much rather keep private.

Glad to see you back. You always sound such a busy and creative person.

Thanks hun

"Is it ok to come back in that way?", I said pointing at the exit to the shop assistant in a posh South Manchester garden centre this morning.
"Not officially" she replied.

I've just finished the ironing and I'm having a before going to bed.

 

[TVC]

Back from the party, stuffed with turkey dinner, two good comedians and a rather nice wine or two. Bed.

 

[Reynard]

I'm just having a slice of lithuanian gingerbread slathered in home made butter.

 

[Reynard]

Right, off to the Land of Nod via Hot Bath after an evening of catching up with the Hairy Bikers on the i-player.

 

[Hill Wimp]

Awake with tea.

It's hammering it down outside. No chance of snow here.
