Good morning people, I was late getting up this morning, didn't stir till half seven, shopping and chores day today, must get the ironing done later

Apparently it is 3 deg here. Shopping for us today.

Morning all.
Currently 6°c here, rising to 11° later.
Off for a walk down to the village later to pick up some shopping.
Got friends coming down for a long weekend.

Those friends that have never seen a coastal storm?

 

[Dave7]

Mornig all.
Very cold here and a thick frost.
I am trapped in today as........
1. The electrician is coming to sort the external lighting out. We also have an electric fire and the plug overheats so that needs sorting.
2. Mr fixit is going to do what he can to repair the garage door lock and mechanism caused by the scrotes who tried to break in.
MrsD is off to the hairdresser
Have a good day y'all.

Could you get the electrician and Mr Fixit working together to wire the garage door up?

Good morning all. Been up one hour now and got bike ready for a ride later. My wife has a friend coming round soon so that will be my queue to disappear. The ride will be under 20 miles but welcomed . Weather is cold but sunny. Forecasting winds of 50 mph tomorrow and Sunday. Bye for now.

They are, sort of. The main thing for the electrician is the floodlights.

4 weeks I'll be dead by then

MrsP 's has lasted 6 weeks now, and mine for just over 4. It comes and goes, lulling you into thinking it has gone and suddenly returns.

Walking, via several pubs today. Freezing here, I hope the pubs have the fire on!

Nice sunny day but south easterly gale. Wind nearly knocked me off my feet a couple of times so cycling would be a bit dodgy.
