Morning all from a frosty Coventry, though the met office is forecasting heavy rain very soon. 😕
I am just packing my sailing bad with every bit of sailing clothing I own 😂. The reservoir could be frozen but there is a good chance it’s not as we get about 50% of our water from Draycote reservoir and its pumped underground to us which means it actually warms up a bit. Tbh I am not looking forward to it as even if we are ice free because with the wind and rain it’s going to feel bitterly cold. On the bright side it should be up to 9 degrees by this afternoon and 13 degrees by tomorrow.The trouble is we only sail in the morning 😂😂😀.
Stay safe and warm everyone .

Good morning folks,
Another precarious night perched at the edge of the bed and being gradually pushed out by the granddaughters little feet. We had " Movie Night " last night, watched an animated film called "Luck", it had everything, talking cats, Unicorns, dragons, leprechauns etc 😁, all accompanied by chocolate digestifs and chocolate milk. We'll take her back to her mums on the bus later, hopefully have a detour to the pub on the way home.
Raining at the moment , 4 degrees and rising to 12 later 🌴

Still 🥶 here in the Leicester ‘burbs….but looks like the temps change from around 5/6 this evening…nicely warming up for the returns of our offspring for the Christmas break tomorrow. Might have to remain under the duvet a bit longer, make the most of the peace!
Saw a very funny comedy JustTheTonic gig in a dodgy-looking dingy basement in town last night with some friends….the half-Iranian MC did a brilliant job dealing with the 25 ‘lairy lads’ who parked themselves at the front….treated them like you would a school bully before they could get too raucous and laid into them from the start, verbally hitting them before they hit him (in a stern yet funny way), kept control, & the 3 comedians were all very good 🤣👍
It’s true what the Readers’ Digest told my parents all those years ago when their monthly missive arrived….laughter is the best medicine 🤪

That's organised then. I get our bedroom with the window open and Mrs P the rest of the house till I test negative.
The hope is she will stay clear and I'll be negative by Friday in time for Christmas. 🤞

OwdoGood morning all.
Good morning all.
Another cold night, -4, but the temperature is rising quite quickly now, and when I was out with the dog earlier the snow was melting.
We have rain forecast for this afternoon and temperatures of 6⁰s today and 11⁰ tomorrow.

She could always do what everyone on here seems to be doing with legs of late, put it on the fire at night.

But the road might just be clear out of sight of the house!
Do you do everything you're told to?

I don’t have a fire
I’ve decided I’m just going to chill out so I’ve just had a nice soak in the bath and stuck the jammies on and will probably read this afternoon.
