Coooooeee. Its a tad chilly here kids. 12 deg in my house so I have a fire going.

I've done quite well with the PB's this year and I've earned much more than I would in interest so I'm a happy bunny.

Stay safe peeps

According to my weather ap its 1 deg outside.

Good morning from a bright and breezy Coventry, I'm sat here listening to my Good Lady sleep, I've put a line full of washing out, its a bit fresh this morning.

Good morning folks,
Got a couple of deliveries arriving today, nothing exciting, just decorating paraphernalia ( I nearly spelled that right from memory, but not quite ) A sunny morning so might go for a run before the rain returns tomorrow. Time for coffee, stay safe folks 👍☀️

Morning. Baltic here just now. First proper frost with house roofs all white and cars frozen over.

I had a little walk with a couple of miles gentle jogging in the middle to keep warm. We now have sunshine though, so hope it warms the house up a bit.

I am going to have to take my merino base layer off as it's driving me mad with itching. I see it can have that effect on some people.

Morning all

Might have a gentle stroll down to the village later. Need to perk myself up a bit.
Dunno if I can face Fish 'n Chips today.......we'll see.

I’ve got several Merino tops from various manufacturers. Some are indeed itchy after a while, while others stay really comfortable. The “ superfine “ merino seems best, ive got an “ icebreaker “ top and also a top from Uniqlo which is brilliant. Uniqlo stuff is very good and there are often special offers. I’ve been wearing one of their “ Heattech “ long sleeve tops which is lightweight smooth and stretchy as well as being surprisingly warm.

Talk about unprepaired.
The car was totally frozen over and needless to say I couldn't recall where the scraper or de-icer was (I know now)

Morning all, two loads of washing done, it might dry today as it's nice and sunny.
Then we're off to Waddesden Manor, near Aylesbury. There is an exhibition in the grounds that MrsP wants to see.
We'll probably stop somewhere near Tring reservoirs on the way back , there are some nice pubs on the Grand Union Canal for lunch.
Another busy day in paradise

Surely you keep them in the car?

Its in the same place as your passport.

I have to put Mr WD prescription in so a trip to town is required.

Do you really want me to answer that

Yes, of course.....but where is my passport

 

[Dave7]

And now we have blue sky and rain.....very odd.
