Good morning people.

 

[Drago]

I have risen!

 

[PaulSB]

Well hello everyone. Lancashire skies are clear and it's absolutely still. Haven't checked the temperature yet but looking out at people's roofs suggests it's very cold.

Still not feeling quite right but a bit more motivated than yesterday. When this brew is finished I'll doze before cracking on with housework. 🧹🧽

@Dave7 @dave r @Mo1959 how are things going?

Chuffing Ada, its -11°C outside!

Things seem to have settled into a bit of a routine at the moment, our two seater sofa has finally gone, we had trouble getting it out the house, had to take the arms off, take it out the back and up the entry. Physio is here this morning. And I've totally lost my interest in cycling.

Hi Paul.
Not sure really tbh. MrsDs bloods came back. No problem except too much iron.
The Doc has decided to go another route so has arranged more blood tests.
Meanwhile MrsD continues to get weaker ie can't open a window, can't lift things such as the bread maker and struggles up even the front step.
Can't stand long enough to shower so managed to get in the bath.......then could not get out......I had to physically haul her out.
Sorry if it sounds like a moan....I am trying to be honest.

Yep, you learn to prioritise don't you.
Hope things improve or at the least you adjust ok.

Morning. Lay as long as I could. If this is accurate it will be yet another pj day.

 

[Drago]

Ooh, the weather lady looks pleasant.

 

[Dave7]

Morning all.
And today's report is......
A good nights sleep (apologies to the insomnithingies on here)
Up at 0630 to find I had pressed the wrong button and the c/heating hadn't come on. By the cringe its cold at minus 3° but I know others have it much worse.
I did a nice rump steak yesterday and made an elementary mistake.......I did the steak (perfect) but then fried the onions in the same pan without cleaning it.......result was black onions . 1st job this morning was to clean the frying pan.
Stay warm and safe peeps.

Gillian Smart.

Noticing a big difference in the daylight now, especially being so clear. Just after 7am this morning.

 

[Paulus]

Good morning all fellow peeps.

-7 overnight, and another dusting of snow.

I am full of anticipation for the upcoming day.

I have three new jigsaw puzzles, so I will start one of those.

Stay safe everyone,
Another day in paradise.

Gillian Smart, eh? She can forecast my high pressure area any time she fancies.
