-4°C here and sunny at the moment. The world is white again from last night's snow flurries. I must go shopping later today as there is not a lot in the fridge and it gets too busy at the weekend.

Morning, a neighbours car thermometer measured minus 16 here earlier, no more snow over night just frost, suns out now and it looks lovely through the window, fires lit and thinking about a walk in a bit, keep warm and safe all.

Good morning all. Feeling lucky with a temp of just 1 deg.
After discovering all our homemade soup was used up we decided to go grocery shopping.
The fridge and freezer are now fully stocked for the next few weeks.
My daughter had been shopping for me since Christmas.
As the infection rate has dropped considerably we felt we could go ourselves.
I never thought grocery shopping would be so exciting.
Stay safe and warm all and have a good day,

Hey Jay ... good to see you back. thats quite low ... did you put a vest on ? a mere -5c this morning looks nice thru the window so I'll stick to trying to build my wifes old laptop with a new OS ... I admit it I'm a geeky nerd. Can't do any digging and as I don't have heating in the greenhouse at the minute its not worth setting it up for seed sowing.

Nicos ... TMI about your kinky underwear

TIme for another coffee Grapes

More practical than your fishnet stockings though eh?

I had an unexpected trip out to Lidl today.
OH noticed they were selling a special circular saw and, as his packed in a couple of months ago , he was keen to go and replace it.
He knows how to spoil a lady

It was lovely seeing all the white fields though I have to say.

Breamar is not too far from me in a straight line, but there's a few feet of mountains in the way, I'm around 80 feet above sea level they are near a 1000.

Mornin n’alln’all

Happy Chinese New Year!
Tis the Year of the Rat apparently. ( let’s hope that doesn’t mean we get inundated with then on our plots!)

Another lovely cold night here, all is calm and the poor wild birds are thinking about singing.
More fatballs, peanut and fresh water for them this morning.
At least this weather should be killing off aphids etc.
We had a bad year with black fly last year, so fingers crossed this cold weather might put a check at least to them for the coming year

Not sure yet what today will bring but , any excuse for food, a lot will be spent helping OH make pork buns, spring rolls,dim sum and spicy noodles.

Our granddaughter is due today, but no signs as yet!

Have a great day all - “ keep warm and safe “ she says sprinkling out an array of hugs to whoever needs/ fancies one

Morning all.

I think we've left the Year of the Rat, Nicos, it's the Year of the Ox now

Much milder here today. As the thermometer reached -7 overnight Wed/Thurs, i thought I'd have a bit of fun and filled some balloons with water last night to leave outside and freeze. They are still wet and wobbly today

[nick the grief]

...At least this weather should be killing off aphids etc...

I think this is whats been missing the last few years Nicos, we've not had a really good old fashioned winter to kill off the bugs and nasties for several years now.

Talking of Rats, does Sewer rat ever pop up?

Rats on the lotty is one things but bloody oxes
