Chitchat thread #24

Good morning.

When I got out of bed, about an hour ago, to turn the thermostat up, I had a quick glance out of the window. The world was white again. No glasses on, so basically just a blurry white, but still snowing heavily . I'm now back in bed, which seems a thousand times more warm, comforting and welcoming than normal, contemplating getting some coffee, and it sounds as if the snow is turning to rain.

I need to go out this morning, as I've promised my brother in law that I'd do some things for him. I hope we get a quick thaw.

Morning, blowing a hoolie with a mixture of rain, sleet and snow. I was going to go out but think I may have changed my mind!
Enjoy your day folks. x

Good Morning All Heavy rain here. It's washing away the snow and it's much warmer. Have a good day

Morning

Heavy rain with gusty winds here for the day so I'm thinking of staying in my PJ's

I've got a sourdough loaf proving and will do a batch of scones later to bake alongside the loaf.

keep warm and enjoy your day

[Snoop Puss]

Morning all.

Dull here but not too chilly despite a very cold night and our first frost of the year, cold enough to freeze over the surface of rainwater collected in the wheelbarrow. Hope you're all coping with Bert.

Some domestics already done, including sweeping up a wine bottle, fortunately empty, pushed off the table by Missy when I wasn't watching. I've also put away my flour delivery, which will amaze Mr Snoop as he just looked at all the bags aghast.

For the rest of the day, paid work and a bit of gardening I think.

Have a great day, everyone.

Good morning all.We had rain and wind overnight but its stopped now and its 12 degs.
Domestics this morning and then making the last of my jam this afternoon.
I took all the remaining small bags of fruit from the freezer yesterday so it's going to be mishmash jam.
We dont need to go out as we have everything we need in for the weekend,
Have a good day and stay warm.

Morning all. Mild and wet today with a southerly wind. Saturday is my domestics day so I won't be going out anyway and the condenser dryer will have to earn its keep alongside the washing machine.

^Glad your mum enjoyed it. Apparently it makes the most amazing bread and butter pudding.

I wouldn't go to all that faff for b&b pudding, Snoop, I nearly always make a brioche loaf for that

good evening all,certainly a better day than yesterday,snow gone,and rain with wind all dayat least the doors are all locked and curtains closed,just had an early tea ,now tucked up on my own,the outside can go look after its self,the cristmas cake that dod nt cook well that i froze make a wonderfull desert,from freezer to micrwave for aprox 1 .5 mins,with double cream on top,not just the cat that got it,bread and butter sounds good,with a custard,Bramble bet the jam will be your favourit,as it cannot be repeted,unless you weigh the individual fruits first,good luck with the bread girls,now for a coffee and feet up,have a lovely evening

[bramble]

Good evening all.Dry at the moment but rain is on the way.
Lottie, Cake with whipped cream sounds yummy, its ages since I had cake as I seem to have become wheat intolerant.
You're right about the jam, its lovely, and no, I didnt weigh any of the fruit...pot luck.
All done and the kitchen tidied, so like you..settling in for the night.
Have a good evening all.

Evening

It’s rained here all day and like Lottie all our snows gone. Hopefully that’ll be the last of it.
Bread and scones both turned out well and the smell of fresh baked bread is lingering.
I do love homemade jam Bramble it tastes so much better than store bought.

enjoy your evening

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All Very dark and raining here. Have a lovely Sunday

[Bren In Pots]

Morning

I'm sharing your weather again Flo. I'm hoping for a break in the rain I want a few parsnips for this evening meal.

enjoy your day

[Snoop Puss]

Morning all.

Bright at the moment, but a bit of hazy cloud. Not enough to hide plane vapour trails, especially of the two that look like they could be on a collision course, though of course they're at different altitudes.

Missy is in very naughty mode this morning. Driving all of us mad. Frankie has decided to make himself scarce, but the rest of us are stuck with her.

On the cards for today. Bit of paid work, domestics, kindling gathering and another cake or perhaps a couple of loaves with fruit in. Yesterday's cake is OK, but I really don't like plain chocolate and the chocolate drops in it are spoiling it for me.

Gardening will probably wait till tomorrow when the winds drop. I'm afraid Bert is giving you all a hard time, but warm winds here.

Have a great day, everyone.

[bramble]

Good morning all. Its bright aand breezy and its 10 degs.
Off to the church shortly.
Nothing planned for the day but I am sure something will pop up.
Enjoy your Sunday all.
