General Chat

Good afternoon everyone.
There was snow on the garage roof this morning. It is incredibly windy and really cold. I went for my usual walk this morning, it was really hard going walking against the wind. My watch records the distance and also the exercise minutes where my heart rate has been above a certain level. Today I did lots more exercise because of the wind

Bob,so glad you mentioned the hoover as mine really needs a spring clean.The rollers have so much hair etc all wrapped around them and needs removing.Snow showers on & off still.went to the bin and oh my brrrr blooming freezing.Yes heating going on again.
You are busy busy today Ann best way to be.

I decided that every Sunday Eve,I am going to write a list of jobs to do for the week no matter how small.When the week is up and you have a list of ticks,it will make you feel you did lots of things and that's good for mental well being.

Liz so glad you posted,was thinking hadn't seen you in here in awhile.If you need to off load we are here to listen not to judge.

ZZzzz - :-D

Went out earlier to pick some tulips before the cold and daffodil thieves got them. So cold I only picked a couple.

Heating is now back on.

Good morning all, such a nice idea Florence to put up this thread. I shall try to pop on here and add to the thread when I can.

Quite breezy here today with blue sky and white fluffy clouds , forecast isn't great but hoping we don't get any snow. but it is cold out there.

Have nice day everyone.

:-)

Ive just dismantled our battery vac cleaner and give it a good cleanup...

Snow flurries here and bloomin cold......brrrr :-0 :-D

Morning Florence and all :-D :-D

We've had two feeble snowfalls this morning but sunny now and c-c-c-cold :-0

Lovely thread Florence :-D

Good morning all, yesterday was glorious so I am pleased I took advantage and got a lot of weeding done and almost filled the garden bin. That is due collection Wednesday this week. Today here it is quite bright with a light breeze 6 degrees and cloudy. I do hope the snow does not get to us here although tomorrow didn't look good on the forecast with -3 forecast for tonight. Poor plants won't know what has hit them.
I do remember other years when it snowed in April.
Dermot, that is strange neither T or his brother had a middle name. sometimes, if someone doesn't like their first name they are useful, for some reason my son has three names, daughter has two but I think if I remember correctly, all her three boys have three. I think that was to use all the grandfather's etc names.
Enjoy bank holiday Monday whatever you are doing although when you are retired bank holidays like weekends all seem to be the same as normal days. In previous years we would go to a large flea fair at Malvern show ground on this Monday, as we would the May bank holiday. For obvious reasons I would not have gone this year anyway. :-)

I have just looked at the forecast again and it is saying we are going to have sunshine all day but there are flakes of snow coming down now :-S

Good morning all.
Wow what a morning.I ts white outside and I had a thought that i had missed Summer & Autumn and xmas had come early. Its snowing on & on and the garden is covered.
I truly hope it doesnt stay long or the biting wind to go with it. My daffodils are completely flat now and ruined! Mother nature knows no boundaries as they say.

So lovely to see lots of people on here. Heres hoping it will remain bright & cheery.

I made some Easter vegan chocolate cupcakes yesterday for the first time, iced them and 3 little mini eggs per cake. So delicious as normally because of my egg allergy, I cant eat cakes but these were very light & tasty.

Def not bikini weather here LG so gravy browning it is i think. Don,t want to look pasty white later on..lol

Dermot are you a middle child then? I did a study of families years ago on 1, 2,3 and 5 children. Its very interesting.
Well off for a shower whilst we have electricity. Have a good day all.

Hello Florence and all,

A bright morning but really cold/chilly wind so far. I'd planned to go into the garden to weed the borders but it might have to wait for a warmer day.

Good Morning Everyone, I woke up to blue sky and sunshine but it is now clouded up a little. Will the forecsters ever get it right ? :-D

Morning Florence and Chit Chatters. :-)

Bright but chilly here.

Have a lovely day everyone. :-)

Good Morning Florence and Everyone :-)

It's been very sunny and pleasant for the last few days in South West Wales where I live. Today it's colder and very grey. I will pop in from time to time when I can, but I am more limited now as my OH is very poorly.

Wishing you a happy and successful thread Florence :-)

Lovely idea, Florence. I will try to get on here a bit more, so much going on here, my brain is addled! Lizxx

Over here in Ontario we had a lovely sunny warmish day just right for a walk after eating too much :-)

Anyone know how to calm an anxious/nervous dog down?

Hmmmm two victories for Cambridge today.....


fortunately no one sunk this this time

Sorry AnnG it gets confusing with more than one person with the same name :-D :-D

LG I had to look then to confirm I was not the Ann you were talking to. I couldn't see what Bisto had to do with gardening. And I was pulling up forgetmenots too, I love them along the edge where they are supposed to be but they seem to have formed an alliance with the celandines and spread across the garden.

Earlier I checked ours and it said dry and sunny, I just looked again and it says light snow :-| :-|. Oh well bye to the gardening and hello to craft :-D
