-6 degrees this morning - all the snow frozen solid
Daughter's school bus is cancelled
More snow due this afternoon!

Morning

I'm sure the good Mary is very nice, forecast suggests snow today, I have already had an e mail from our breakdown provider saying services will be limited, every year the same, they seem to only be prepared for summer

lol. Mary is Scottish through and through. Plays a fiddle in a Scottish band. ....or used to and is involved in judging young fiddlers in competitions.

I didn't know the good Mary was Polish

[jonjonck] 15/1/2024 13:29

Afternoon chaps.

The Good Mary was not fun this morning. Descale and polish and was a bit brutal below the gum line.
Went to Sainsburys after to go to the cafe, but it is now closed. Bought a new Brita jug water filter as ours is getting a bit old and tatty. Time for a new one.

Hi Gates, I know but what a cheek when you are already paying £8.99, if they get away with it the next thing will be goverment charging to drive in big cities despite having paid your road tax .. Oh hang on a minute!

Unfortunately I have to go out. I could always get the bus or train. What a brilliant idea, I quite fancy getting the train - saves finding parking which is getting harder.

[gateside] 15/1/2024 09:02

Lots of snow here. Daughter's school is shut, meaning her first exam is cancelled.

[gateside] 15/1/2024 09:01

Gekko, You can pay an extra £2.99 per Month to not have adverts on Amazon Prime.Seems a rip off, considering people are already paying for it

[2gekko] 15/1/2024 08:54

It's actually colder here which is unusual at minus two, my car is frozen solid and can stay on my drive

[jonjonck] 15/1/2024 08:20

Good Morning.
Yes indeed I have also noticed this.
minus 1 this morning so will have to defrost the car for going into Dentists this morning.

Morning

Yes they have forced me to switch adblocker off, I think the ads are targeted too as I'm bombarded with Healthspan ads and I already use them so what's the point of that, if anything it's starting to annoy me and could they lose my custom, the other one that's going to start ads is Amazon prime, as soon as that starts I shall cancel as I'm not paying a subscription and still watching adverts

[jonjonck] 14/1/2024 17:55

Youtube have decided to get around us plebs who use adblockers but really slugging download speeds to the point they are unwatchable. So now having to see ads at the beginning of videos. I cannot, or maybe I can, how many of the adverts are just full of lies and false information making wild promises. They would not get away with that on TV or in magazines/newspapers. Really are targeting the gullible.

Yes fitter not fatter as I tend to say, yesterday about an hour after the second walk I lay on the couch and fell asleep I was that tired, not 21 anymore but shouldn't affect me like that, enjoy your walk, we have just got back

[jonjonck] 14/1/2024 11:11

Good Morning.
Seems to have taken ages to get the house warm this morning...anyway, casserole in in the slow cooker and shall go out for a walk again later.
I too need to try and get fitter.

[2gekko] 14/1/2024 09:27

Morning

A lowly two degrees so no sign of Diana but that's better than minus two

After the double walk yesterday I realised the need to get fitter, Basa fillets for brekkers

[jonjonck] 13/1/2024 09:04

Good Morning.
Bitter cold again this morning.

[2gekko] 12/1/2024 21:19

I shall top up my tab in advance

[jonjonck] 12/1/2024 19:08

Yes you just did and I have already arranged a party in here end of March.

[2gekko] 12/1/2024 18:28

But I have to go back to Cumbria at the end of March with wok

Did I really just reveal that

[2gekko] 12/1/2024 17:40

My tab is still on stop, that will teach to go away and leave it undefended

Yes very cold brrr

[jonjonck] 12/1/2024 12:03

To make up for it, have a round of drinks in here on the house.

It was perishing cold shopping. Did not go to all the shops we wanted to as too cold.

[rovi70] 12/1/2024 11:30

One couple did not turn up Broken wrist and chipped tooth I thought was a poor reason to miss out buying a round.

[2gekko] 12/1/2024 11:23

Morning

It's actually sunny here but still cold, I've got shopping coming to me lol

[jonjonck] 12/1/2024 08:16

Good one rovi.

Good Morning chaps. We have a hard frost this morning and I am going to have to clear the car to go shopping.
