So @postman - are you buying the cake and coffee on Friday for a CC birthday meet-up in Leeds?

Bright, chilly and very blustery here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept OK mostly. Still feel a bit depressed though. Have spent the morning doing some puttering about - clearing up cat sick (thank you, Lexi), refilling the girls' water dispenser thingy, re-jigging the fridges, sorting out ingredients for tonight's supper. Need to sort out firewood later.

Writing will be taking up a major part of today as it's too raw to do much outside. It's blowing a pretty stiff north-westerly, and out here in the fens, there's nothing to stop it from blowing through.

It is almost time for luncheon.

Even our own BBC meteorologists were talking of an ''explosive cyclogenesis'' happening on the East coast a couple of days ago. I'd never heard of such a thing though I gather it's also known as a weather bomb.

It feels like our own gusty weather doesn't deserve a mention alongside that.

Reports of snowball fights breaking out in New York!

Took my test on a 125 scooter in the late 60s. Nearly hit the examiner when he stepped out in front of me.

What's a memory?

I may get a foot of snow later in the week, but I hears you may have 2-3 feet.

yes lots of big snow piles here. I measured after all snow fell & I'm guessing the average was about 15" for my town. the official # may be higher. there is one town, East of us, that got just over 30". but it's wasn't my town

The more the merrier I also have two Feline Overlords.

Extra virtual chin tickles being sent.

They say thank you for the chin tickles. Today I have husband poorly with cold and daughter poorly with a dicky tummy. The Feline Overladies are in their element with all these warm people just sitting around.

Hope the Humans at Hebe Towers mend quickly. Self-heating, vibrating hot water bottles are purrfect in these situations.

Two slices of granary toast for luncheon, one with ham, the other with burrata cheese. Plus an orange and two

Misjudged the weather a bit today as it turned out not too bad. Started a lot of cooking and washing early which kept me indoors till lunch time.
Had some stuff to take to recycling so did that and had a short walk when the only shower came on briefly. I had thought of taking the trike down a mostly smooth surface forest road for a change but just as well I did not as it would have been unpleasant in the rain shower. The Ranger Service has not come back about lorry traffic on this road but while there are some vehicle tracks nothing looks like timber lorries have been using it. Perhaps I might try going direct to Forest Scotland.
The problem is that the road is narrow with deep ditches and not wide enough for a large lorry and my trike to pass safely. Some of the drivers are not terribly nice people either and are under pressure to get as many loads as possible per day. Payment by load is illegal but there are other incentive schemes equally bad.

@Illaveago, @Reynard, three old diecast F1 cars in a box of over two dozen diecast cars. How much(hammer price)?

Yep when I was in bed for 2-3 weeks after breaking my Femur I generally had 4 of mine pinning me down.
