Good morning. Dark and cold. Shortly I have to head off to east Lancashire to collect granddaughter. There is a weather warning in place for east Lancashire, mainly ice but there have been warnings of snow for approximately six miles from our house.
Well last night's sleep was shite. Felt like I have a terrible hangover I woke up. Weird. Feeling a bit more human now but only just. Highlights for the day? I need to pop to the LBS - that's in the direction of the snow forecast! New phone day but I have my doubts. I ordered the case from Samsung who have sent the usual raft of emails including the one from DPD to say "Neil will deliver your parcel today" and no doubt will send more info at 11.00!!! Curry's meanwhile are also shipping the phone via DPD who haven't even mentioned it is at their depot!! What poor Neil is doing about that I don't know.
Paul's Top TV Pick for today. Stay Close on Netflix starring James Nesbitt, Sarah Parish
and Jo Joyner is very good, after three episodes I still don't have an inkling about the connections between all the characters. One interest for me is the film locations are spread across Lancashire and Manchester. Some of the Manchester ones are very vaguely known to me but the Lancashire locations are very recognisable, one is literally two miles from home and another four. This leads to slightly surreal viewing; at one point a character dies in some woods, the approach to the woods features The Dream sculpture near St Helens, from the sculpture a path leads in to woods and a ruined building which are two miles from our house. The main character makes several journeys over Runcorn Bridge enroute to Blackpool - bizzarely driving in the wrong direction over the bridge to reach Blackpool! Possibly she'll get there one day?

. He had been my dentist for nearly 40 years, during that time he first became a partner of the original owner , then took over the practice. We were on first name terms , he was a friend of our neighbours. It helped to make it as relaxing as a visit to the dentist can be.
Yesterday a great broad swathe of black snow cloud appeared
