Good Morning

First topic message reminder :

Morning all
One last job to do -now where did I put those bingo tickets????
Granddaughter coming today - lucky for her I have built a new trampoline and scooter!!
Bit of a grey start but supposed to be brighter later

Morning all
Wet and windy but no snow

Good morning Homers

Wet and windy here too.

Also have a house electric problem. We are trying to solve it by process of elimination but when power stays on for half an hour then goes off its taking some time.

Polly your pain must be muscular as no bones broken. Counting day 4 of no pain hopefully.

Morning all
No white stuff here yet

White over with about an inch of snow here ... you're welcome to some of it if you need it !

Good morning Homers
Sunny morning without any snow! Although I understand there is tons of the white stuff a few miles up the road.

What a day we had yesterday. As I said our electric was off in the house. Resetting the trip switch resulted in the power being on for longer periods. Then we noticed when it rained or snowed the electric tripped off. Then Andrew came in from the garage and said he had to reset the garage trip switch. Both supplies attached to same pole so contacted Powergrid and our supplier. Both came out and tested our meter etc and decided the fault is outside at the pole or beyond. Now waiting for power engineers to check electric supply.

Did I tell you all the electric supply wiring was renewed by contractors in December. The engineers who came yesterday agreed with us that our supply wire had been left dangerously low. The wire crosses over the top of the motorhome and if I had stood on the roof to clean it I could have held onto the electric wire

White-out here now, snowing so hard/heavy, can't see neighbor's property.

10 past 7 this morning was very wet and rainy outside
Went back to bed and when I got up at 9 am everywhere was overhead in snow

As I sat with my coffee in the front room heard a banging sound so checked for footprints in the snow at next doors . No footprints so no burglar must have been their dog falling of the chair.
Then the noise came again when I looked through the window it was like a avalanche coming down. Snow sliding of the solar panels on the house roof

No snow and then white over and now all gone again

Snowed for 7 minutes this evening and Barb was panicking, now its peeing down and it has all gone but I have not told her yet as she is in bed asleep, so when I retire I will let her know it is now 9" deep and she will not sleep all night, so I will have a good night without her snoring, Yeh 

Naughty Bob!!

Hia

You are awful Bob 

Morning all,
Lovely & sunny here the last couple of days & the sun actually feels warm its just that ruddy cold wind you northerers are sending our way we are ready for the off for a few days!

Sunny but very cold here - definitely fire watching weather. Oh and no snow - the fields are still green.

Good Afternoon Homers

Very cold here although all the fields are still green. Colin was out playing with his Scania in the snow near Tan Hill yesterday, winching out a yellow truck from the snow drifts.

Been on computer and telephone this morning getting Dads car insured for him. I am also on the policy.  Although Dad looks and acts 20 years younger than his age he is classed as being in a care home with dementia. Finally managed to get him insured at a reasonable price but dreading next year when he is a year older.

When Colin and I had signed our wills at the solicitors, one Friday, years ago we returned home with bought pork pies for tea.  The result we spent the next week in bed with food poisoning.  Not eaten a pork pie since.

Thought we had tempted fate.

Woke up to snow this morning but the fields are green once more.  Still very cold with bright sunshine.

 Up to date with all the paperwork.  Will have more to do come April

Morning all
Grey and cool

GOOD MORNING from SUNNY Stockport

Good morning for picking dog po up
Sorry

I begin my two week stint of dog sitting tomorrow so by next weekend I will be tied and short tempered ha ha

I would like to say THANK YOU for all the advise and help I have received over the years and continue to receive

Good morning polly and everybody else I'm granddaughter minding today , its sunny but cold out, gonna get the crayons and colouring books out in a mo to keep her occupied while I iron . Enjoy the dog sitting Polly I know how much you like it .

Hia

Adele lovely spring day today

I am out for tea tonight  with the doggy owners

Do you think I am cheeky if I mention my front room needs painting hint hint

Well I am having new blinds well replacement ones

I don't get paid for sitting and I do a lot of toing and froing and a couple of visits a day are at silly times

But she does cut Izzy for me and will mind her for me 

So Homers what do you think

Her hubby does like to do jobs etc etc 
And they always say if I want anything doing , but that could be an idol comment


Oh might do it myself like I always do

Been a beautiful day here on the costa del southport and we made the most of it with some jobs around the inside/outside of the house, took some stuff down to the storage and put in the van ready for next week and check all was OK, pleasantly pleased that the battery was @14.1v so the solar panel working well, now @ home and its getting very chilly once more so heating turned up, TV on and a bottle of vin rouge just breathing ready for 10 past 4.


By the way Polly, if you "don't ask you don't get" your friends have offered their help so make the most of it, that is what friends are for, as long as one does extract the michael. 

Morning all,
Well after suffering for the last 3 months with my long term ulcerative colitis I had a hospital appointment this week to find out I need further investigation.
So have been booked in for the 3rd of march for another internal  They have also decided to reinstate  me again for an 8 week course of steroids, they worked wonders for me last time.

Hope all goes well Mark
I'm on the steroids myself - which seem to be helping

Good morning Homers

Cloudy, cold still day here. Should start painting the kitchen but what colour?

Is it the camera Mark - had that when the doctors were trying to diagnose what turned out to be lactose intolerance.

Yes it is Joyce, although I won't be smiling 

Have you had camera before Mark? My cousin tried to frighten me but I thought the camera wouldn't be huge Kodak and it wasn't the first time something had passed that way - it was just in reverse I think the worst part was drinking that chalk the day before. Couldn't part with it when I should have done -arrived home and thought I lost my insides.

You will be fine Mark just relax - oh and I watched the television that was interesting lol

Antiques Road-show ?

Morning all
Managed a walk of nearly 8 miles yesterday - well pleased
Off to have some new tyres fitted to MH this morning

Hia

Good morning 

For me second time of being up

Dog sitting ugghhhhh


Think I have mucked her plans up
She asked where I was going this year 
So I said about September In Southern Ireland , May in the Outer Hebredes 
And anywhere else that takes my fancy
Also I waffled on about wintering abroad

Woops she has booked a week in Sept like last year and didnt hide her disappointment in me very well also I gave her something to think about for next year as they said they wanted to go to Australia next February
So I might be driven to going abroad  for February

That may bring tears to Marks eyes Polly

Polly appears, from your post, you are being taken for granted. Would have been polite to have asked when you are free to dog sit and work their plans round yours.

Re my post on Saturday - the kitchen is still the same colour - didn't raise a paint brush to it. The sun came out with a lovely blue sky so walked round the garden with loppers in hand. Colin said he would move the lopped branches for me so I left him 4 huge piles of cuttings etc. My knees hurt but I enjoyed being outside in the sun.

Another sunny day here today would love to go do some more 'lopping' 'but knees still painful.

Peter pleased to hear you are walking distances again. Keep taking the tablets they must be working.

Morning all
Tyres all sorted now and spare back underneath- although I had to do that myself as tyrefitters wouldn't !!

Back home after a few days away, downside is it's back to work tomorrow

Yet another blue sky with sun. Hope its like this in a few months time for summer.

Hia

 Nice dry morning 

Off to sort the dogs out in a minute

Then back sort myself out and take Izzy for a walk

Then it will be time to see to the dogs again

And not into much of a good mood as I didn't sleep at all well with thing whirling round in my head

 

Oh and one more for good luck   

Ha ha ha
