The frost is lifting quickly here and we are due snow between 8 and 9 which is to turn to rain so better get a walk in before it arrives.

Barnet,
Good morning all from a cold and frosty Barnet. -3 outside at the moment.
After the usual dog walking, once it gets light mind you, I will be out on the bike for a while with a stop at the local grocers on the way home for some fruit and vegetables. Stuffed red peppers for tonights tea.
Before all that though is the question of what to have for breakfast? Eggs on toast, or egg and bacon sandwiches? decisions decisions. :hungry:

Good day. Forecast is diabolical but it looks quite benign outside. Lots of pages to catch up I see, I'll try later. Today's plan was to drop Mrs P's car at the garage, go to the seaside for the day, walk the prom, have lunch, collect car but this has changed. Emergency phone call last night "Can we have small person today?" - other grandma has tested positive. I will now collect small person, drive 45 minutes to collect Mrs P, we will then assess the weather. Lytham St Annes here we come! Mrs P will stop for a blue rinse. :ohmy::laugh::laugh:

Stay safe :okay::hello:

Good morning, world!

Minus 1 under clear skies in Planet Thanet today. That won't please little Miss Salad, who will have to do much scraping of her car windows before setting out to work.

Us codgers will perhaps go to Canterbury today, as Mrs Salad wants some new walking shoes. But she has weird feet ( not webbed feet, autocorrect!) so day 2 of the search will probably be a long one.....

Keep warm and keep safe, everyone.

I'm the same height as you and I weigh 12 stone.
Sounds about right - 76kg. I like to be at 71kg (11 stone) but could easily make it to 76kg without trying! :laugh: In reality I judge my weight by how my clothes fit, how I look and the car seat belt. If the seat belt is a bit uncomfortable it's time to think about things!

11 stone is my fighting weight, but as long as I don't go above 12 stone I'm happy, at the moment I'm not very active so the weight has gone on.

Good moaning all. Pretty cold out there and frosty looking. The Met say we are in for some heavy rain and 40mph gusty winds. I'm hoping for a gap between the two conditions mid morning, so lots of gazing out the window and muttering is guaranteed this morning.
