Nice big verandah to dry the bloomers on! As long as the aircraft landing don't mistake them for a windsock

Good morning people. It is the most beautiful morning here. Clear blue sky, sun and currently -2⁰C.

You lot were busy yesterday. Taken two coffees worth of reading to catch up!!!!!

What's a GSD? It seems to have four legs and a nose but what does it look like???

@Dave7 I didn't know about Tier 5. Cheers. Local cases have risen from 200 to 1200 in a week. I'm not surprised. Not sure what else can be done or what else we will not be allowed to do.

Reaching the point now where I'm seriously considering not even going shopping. Other than some fresh veg which I can get from the farm shop we could probably live for a month out of the cupboards and freezer. Have to collect meds this morning so I'll grab cheese and butter from the village shop.

Our local pub is shut but is doing takeaway food and has started selling basic foodstuffs.

I'd hoped for a ride today but maximum temperature for today is 1⁰C. The maximum for the next week is 3⁰C

German Shepherd AKA Alsation. I am sure you know what they look like

Our long range forecast is for lots more dry but very cold and frosty weather so I'll stick to two legs I think. I have no notion to cycle just now anyway.

Good morning.
1C here, sunny with cloud. Forecast says snow by 10:00.
I am feeling pleased with myself, one day away from the dark side (P;B;C), think I will do something productive today, ie take Christmas decorations down and consign to storage area in garage.

I didn't bother watching the new series last night "The Serpent". Anyone watch it?

We have recorded it, haven’t watched it yet.

There is an airfield near Shell island Barmouth. On numerous occasions they have tried to appropriate my bloomers for that very purpose. I have always managed to thwart their covert activities

Basically they are the same dog, just called a different name depending on where you come from

I'm up again, it's Saturday today well that's what it said on my pill box

Going to clean Mrs D's car today, andndo a bit of painting in Mini D's room.

Im a bit concerned about Mrs D's health. I've always done as much as I can about the house to support her (apart from cooking - im dreadful), somIm now formalising that so she can rely on me.

Mondays will be washing and drying day.

Wednesdays will be ironing day.

Fridays will be shopoing day.

I'll still do the daily housework, the tidying, vacumming, dishes, etc, as well as walk the dog 3 times daily, decorating, and anything else that crops up. Sheesh - I don't know where I found the time to go to work!

Does she get periods of remission or is it the progressive one?

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Good Morning All, another chilly one, currently minus 1 and we had another cm of snow early this morning.
Nothing planned for the day.

GSD - German Shepherd dog. After the war it was a bit frowned upon to have anything german, so they were remaned as Alsatians for a while, but GSD has crept back into usage over the last 20 years or so,

Does she get periods of remission or is it the progressive one?

Relapsing remitting. When she recovers from a relapse she never quite regains all the grounds she lost, so over the long term its progressive, but classified by the medico's as relapsing-remitting.

Shes been fairly stable for about 2 years, but lately seems to have had more off days so Im worried she's hesding for another relapse. That means me doing everything from lifting her out of bed, bathing her, helping to feed her, the lot. The good news is they seem to have a grip on her medication which is hopefully responsible for keeping her stable - 13 different tablets a day, a daily injection, and a second type of injection every sunday...and a pink injection if she's been a good girl

Your doing a classic now.
