Patricia not around tonight...........in fact.....where is everyone ?

Neil Oliver arrived home safely. He just 'coasted' into town in his car.

Maddie I'm not into Blackmail. Just make a £10,000 donation to my Bank Account as a goodwill gesture. And I promise not to tell your hubby

Pauline.....find some Scottish Pipe Band music on line and play that to Brent........bet he likes it.

My goodness how nice not to be shovelling snow tonight. I'll do a wee bit tidying up tomorrow in the daylight..

Is Dermot going to organise that England host a GR World Convention instead of the football World Cup. ?

Good Evening to You All.

I think I have found the missing snowman. He is standing on my verandah, keeping watch over the bird seed and fat balls. He frightened the life out of me, he was looking through the window. 2 squid still in place, scarf and hat. Yep, all there.

Stephen, please let me know that Neil got home ok. He was such lovely company. 'eyes rolling and going loopy again' lol

Few more people in today, 1 degree higher than yesterday. All the little old ladies are still absent, but if they are anything like my Mum, she always had a 'store cupboard' filled with tea, sugar and tinned food.

Hope everyone is well and warm.

Shelly dry that snotty nose.
Pauline hope Brent is occupying himself. I think you said he likes music. So do I.
Jean, hope all goes well at the hospital, and your results are clear.

I just hope that Marilyn gets home sometime soon, she has her next rollicking adventure to plan.

Dermot still flummockes me. But then again, I probably do the same to him.

See you later.

Thanks for that Stephen, so that means it's colder than normal...........or it was when the snow was formed. Didn't want to play snowballs anyway, nobody to throw them at. Can't throw them at my snowman either because he'd collapse, he's not very strong.

Hard to believe someone would dial 999 about a missing snowman isn't it? Maybe Dermot's right and the snowman just left home because he wasn't being looked after properly. At least he had a couple of quid for his bus fare.

Evening all.

Pretty mild here tonight compared to this morning. My hands were sticking to anything metal I touched.

Useless Information for Pauline or anyone else thats interested.

Powder Snow consists of tiny chrystals or particles of snow usually formed in low temperatures. The Powder feels light and fluffy because of the amount of air between the chrystals.

Snow Flakes are made up from 100 or so chrystals to form flakes of snow.
The weight of the bigger flake squeezes the air out when it lands and the snow becomes compact.

It's the Snow Flakes that 'townies' are most used to. And they are the best for making Snowmen.....or to be PC.......Snowpersons.

Here endeth the lesson.

Ready for tea now.......back later.

I think the snowman just walked off by himself because he was so cold last night & he thought his creator was a bit crackers anyway.

Any sensible person would have brought him inside on such a terrible evening. A couple of quid, a scarf around the neck & a carrot to nibble on are far from sufficient.

Yes Marilyn you are right about the snow man being stolen. Apparantly the WOMAN had put two pound coins in for the eyes. Now how bloo*y mad is she, for wasting police time, well she needs showing up in public as a disgrace.
If they wanted the money so bad, they only had to remove it,and leg it.
But why would anyone steal a snowman in the first place. Sad Sad woman thats all I can say.
If it wasn't for the costs, I would say they should prosecute her for time wasting.Grrrrr.

Hi everyone.

Stephen .....the breakfast is 8 hours cold .......I'm not complaining !! just letting you know if you could make some more about this time of the day ..LOL

Mo .......I have just read in the papers on line that some one rang the Police about the Snow Man that got stolen from their Garden in KENT , now would You & Roly be wasting Police time ...????????? LOL

Linda ...Thanks for thinking of me & Pete , but I think somehow we might just get there as we are following the weather forecast with strained eyes ..
I have your phone number, if we miss the coach back to Plymouth we will get a Taxi.

You'll all know about it as we have our lappy's at the airport ....

Hello Sue.......your never here when I'm on thread.

Afternoon everyone
Sorry if I've not added so tired.
Little sleeping after having her lunch.
Managed to get to the local shops and posted birthday cards, sympathy card and most of my Christmas cards this morning Oh and a calendar to Australia(my penfriend).
Little stayed warm in the car while I tried not to slide around the village. Got a few bits of fresh foods and some longlife milk(just in case) also food for the birds.................. sunflowerseeds and peanuts.
Have fed the birds and they are buzzing around filling themselves up. They have nearly stripped the trees of berries too.
Hubby has gone to work, hope he stays safe. Won't be home til near midnight.
Shame the carol concert was cancelled yesterday as we just spent the evening watching TV together. Bit of a waste of his day off. But at least it was one less trip to Heathrow.
Believe Gatwick opened again this morning. Hope Marilyn gets her flights OK back to England. Call me if you have problems this end Marilyn, you have my number I hope.

Jean I hope you have a good weekend and that the results are good for you on Monday. I shall be thinking of you.

Oh have recieved 2 of the christmas gifts I ordered. Only a few more to go.

Have a safe afternoon and keep warm

Linda :o) XxX

Dermot your a mind of information. I would not congratulate Russia either if I didnt want too . why should he ? .
At least he was not being two faced about it.

I would ike to see who placed the votes for them to win it.. I say stand up and be counted. They won and that it. . we have enough on our plates already.with all that is going on and will be going on in the near future.

Sue your right it is cold , colder than yeaterday. one minute the weather forcaste say weather for tomorrow milder and no snow then you wake to find thick snow and colder weather.I dont know why they bother.

Morning everyone Jean hope your keeping OK. stay warm.

Rita

David Cameron - a poor looser it would seem.

He childishly refuses to congratulate Russia over the 2018 World Cup venue. Hope this not the resumption of the 'cold war'.

morning all

too bloody cold again

It's nice & warm in Qatar at the moment - so I'm told.

im so ill i have to go back to bed

i only got up cos i had to get my boy up for school

Morning everyone.

Snow has turned to ice, so will be skating to work.

Got to try and get to the West End tomorrow so that will be fun.

Just off to make my own porridge, the one Stephen left has gone cold.

Stay well and warm everyone.

See you later.

edit. What website is Marilyn talking about, and what photos. I can catch them tonight.

Morning all.

Thanks for the breakfast Stephen, I'll not bother with the whisky though.

We've had loads more snow, I think I'll be here till springtime by the looks of it.

My poor garden will be ruined with the weight of all the snow on everything.

Stephen, I've never seen this type of snow before.......it sounds silly but it's a dry snow.

Jean, I'll be thinking of you on Monday and keeping my fingers crossed, waiting for you to tell us the results.

Rita, it's probably right about Washington Station (it's a bus station) being closed, it's really bad here, don't think the buses are running.

I saw the photo Marilyn, I think those trees looked horrible, looking at them everyday would spoil the idea of Christmas for me.

Take care everybody and keep warm.

(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?

Tea or Coffee

Porridge, Cereals, Scrambled eggs, Toast.

\_/ Malt Whisky to keep the cold out.

Get tore in......it's on the Hot Plate.

No more snow last night.....thank goodness.

Temperature at -14C this morning......a wee bit chilly.

Clear sky, loads of stars shining brightly........lovely. The moon has all but gone from this phase.

The snow drifts are huge but don't cause any problems.

Hope you all have a nice cosy day........don't wander if you don't have to.

He Ho ! Off I go.
