love the name!!!! snow still lying frozen here in Cardiff but no more of late - I am finally in recovery from the dreadful virus of whatever it was that I had - my house has that "just burgled" look as I have done nothing cos it's been a week today it all began - hope no one else succumbs to it

not seen fantastic Mr Fox since but have been looking our for him - think I shall leve a spot of food for him tonight and see if he turns up

I was able to resist the urge to dash out for potatoes, bread and milk!!!! I can make bread if push comes to shove and No: 1 son called in the early hours of the morning earlier this week to drop off a loaf of bread for me - on his way to work - he's a train driver working out of Bristol Temple Meads - and boy do they have odd hours!!

take care all and beware the lurgi - watch out for handles on supermarket trolleys - take hand sanitizer with you - be germ aware!!!

Hello Ann glad you are feeling a bit better . never mind the housework . lol

Morning Barbra same here weather wise. We have

manage once we get out as I need wheelchair at
the moment. Have to put Rory on reins and get
a sledge, maybe he can get me there haha.

Morning Barbra and Ann, well had to cancel appointment
as no chance of getting wheelchair over the snow and ice
on the pavements. very cold in the wee small hours but
sun out at the moment and it hasn't snowed since last night
which was just a light covering. Take care and stay warmx

H gang - bitterly cold here in Cardiff - a frozen wasteland - still got the original snow all over the place and it looks like a deathtrap underfoot - local A & E at our largest hospital is pleading with people only to go there with real emergencies as they are overwhelmed with broken limbs - I have just ordered some spikes whch fit over shoes so you donlt slip over on ice - I've done it twice in the past and ended up with broken limbs so not going to do it again!!!

my friend had to sleep here overnight as she is having a new boiler installed!! who would have thought whn she order it that things would turn out like this

I self-diagnosed with that flu thing and decided it was Norovirus!!!

love to all

Ann XX

Hello Ann . could do with spikes on car wheels . & lorries . get the country moving again ! hope your feeling better .Emma there is a thaw on the way for a time . we need it . hope your alright today .have you had a fall .with being in a wheel chair at the moment .. still bright & sunny here & cold . we feed the birds . have two tables & feeders . they wait in the bushes for OH to go out . .look after yourselves Bye for now Barbra xx

Morning Barbra and Ann, roll on the thaw is what I say.
The reason I'm in a wheelchair is due to RA it has gotten
so bad at the moment that I need the chair.Have appointment
with surgeon in February for knee replacement,fingers crossed
for them both to be done.
Ann glad you're feeling better. Take care both.

Morning Barbra and Ann. Snowing last night

have a thaw, long may it continue but methinks
we won't get off that easy.Take care and stay warm.

bleak and frozen here in Cardiff - not been out yet

my Mum had both kinds of arthritis all her life and she had the knee ops - they were excellent

cards all gone - do you have scout deliveries? - we do, so saves a lot on local stuff. no decs up - probably won't bother - didn't last year - on my own so who cares!!!

bit down really as my lovely next door neighbour died on Sunday morning - 53 yars old - ovarian cancer - absolutely gutted - she and her husband just lived for each other and the children and grandchildren - the outside world didn;t exist for them - they never bought the newspapers or knew what was going on at the end of the road, let alone the world at large

I spent time with him yesterday and he was pretty good considering - told me exactly how she died - at home - with all the family around her, how she kissed the little grandchildren goodbye - absolutely gut-wrenching stuff, but in a way I think it did him good to tell me all about it and I did manage to keep a lid on it

Think the little ones will be the saving of them all for Christmas but I think after Christmas is going to be the hardest bleakest time for all of them

sorry if I've depressed you all - that ovarian cancer - the silent killer they call it - is frightening
