We watched a programme on the BBC last night about the winter of 1962/63. I can remember some bits of it . I can remember being off school for a while due to frozen pipes . I can remember going out every day and playing in the snow , sliding on frozen ponds, tobogganing down the railway embankment in the evening in the dark .We had a streetlight and railway embankment in front of our house which helped to light up our run . The toboggan would hit and stop on the ant hills and we would slide straight off the top and continue down the slope . I can remember we were skating on their duck pond singing "Puff the Magic Dragon ". I just checked , it was released in January 1963 .

I remember, I was brought up in Kent, it started snowing on Boxing day and we were snowed up until March, I was woken up most mornings by the sound of my Dad clearing our path, school stayed open and Dad went to work as normal.

Just wondering who the last person to message on Newyear's eve will be before it is 2022.

Is this a competition? Spelling and grammar must be correct?

Bugger, never noticed that.

Very red sky this morning. High winds are forecast and no good weather in prospect.
The start of 2022 does not look any better.
Just got a Christmas message from somebody I forgot about. Need to get on and send my reply which is a strange Victorian card I found on the twit.
I also assume somebody has got an unexpected present of my LFT kit which Royal Mail has told me has been delivered. So many strangers live here now and they know nobody outside their own little circle.

Time to start the ironing.

One of the few good things about needing crutches is having a good excuse for not doing the ironing.

 

[Oldhippy]

If it needs ironing I don't buy it.

How do you two know those things?

We’re not telling

 

[classic33]

We’re not telling

I'll just have to carry on wondering how you know then.
First off, you were one of the nuns in your school production of the "Sound of Music".

I'm just trying to sift through my memories. I must have been in junior school . Outside toilets would have been frozen up . We didn't mind, any time off school was a good thing for us . I think we must have had a few snowy Christmases prior to that but that one was really good . There wasn't as much traffic then so the roads would have been covered in snow . I can remember the long icicles hanging down and pictures on the TV of massive ones. My mum brought some bed sheets which had been on the washing line were frozen solid like wooden boards .

Will you be having your Agatha crispy for Christmas lunch?

Yes hopefully the bacon that's wrapped around her will be crispy

No other habits we need not know about?

Farting in the bath Not done it for long time as I shower these days

Was checking through my e-mails earlier, and had a notification that my appointment for my booster had been cancelled.

Just went and rebooked for the same time, place and date. WTF?!?!?!?!

Scammed by an anti vaccination prat

Morning all, it's a bit damp out there as it looks like there was some rain overnight. The good news is that there's currently mostly clear skies & sunshine at the moment.

First coffee downed and a load of washing in the machine.
