Oh Well.....

...I had a lovely day in the garden today.....calm and sunny.....spring was in the air and the garden started to look alive when I'd finished....even sat on the patio with a glass of red........

Now it's covered in snow........ I need patience..........:-(

[ummmm]

*gets up to look out the window*

No snow my end of town...yet...fingers crossed.

:-) Hi Gness and is the shed quiet?

[Prudie]

I'm just jealous, not seen a flake of snow yet this winter ;-(

[Dizmo]

gness: Just have a Guiness and relax duck x

[sunny-dave]

You must be joking, it's like Siberia here, all my gritting is in vain, if the temperature rises to over zero the sheet ice up the steep drive melts a bit then as soon as the temperature drops it the melted ice re-freezes. Been like this for several days now. You'd've been better with a glass of white wine here, it would've chilled within minutes outside.

[gness]

Don't know which way it's heading, Ummmm...lots here....

The shed is quiet and tidy.....must remedy that.....any ideas, Psyb?

Prudie....can't be doing with these half measures....when the snow came in Canada it arrived feet deep and stayed for five or six months....this is just teasing....

Dizmo....only drink draught Guinness...but this red is nice...and I'm always relaxed....just eager to get cracking on with the garden...x

last night, I cooked a very simple steak and chips meal, perfectly, and to great happiness on a special day

as I lightly seasoned my serving, the thread stripped from the pepper mill and dumped the things entire contents on my dinner

I need..... NO fekkin' lessons in SWEARING from anyone!!

Make a snowman? X

[sunny-dave]

Lucky it wasn't a hotpot, sloopy - nowt worse than too much pepper on yer dumplings ...

[gness]

Dizmo must know where I live if he's calling me duck......☺

Dave.....all that happened in the time it takes to bake 30 scones and 3 lemon drizzle cakes....it was beautiful not long ago.....

Cory...I have a steep drive like that...seems to gather all the water from the close and sees no sun.....visitors step onto the drive and two seconds later are spread eagled against my front door......☺

[gness]

Do we not have to say snowperson, Pixie?.... ;-)

Sloopy....when I was young we had a really grumpy man in our chippy..... to annoy him we would loosen the top of the salt pot so the next person had the lot on their chips.....x

[DTCwordfan]

Been snow here, but not even enough for a Cornish pixie. More expected overnight and I have to be out of here at 7ish for the blood vampires... :-(

[Dizmo]

*tickles gness* :D

[humbersloop]

it's had a couple of half-hearted goes here these last two days, but nothing serious yet - the ice is seriously another thing altogether, the locals are muttering "you know nothing Jon Snurr"

it was mayhem trying to sift the peas..

[pixie373]

Probably :-). Make a snowdog. Might be safer...x

[gness]

Evening, DT....x

Dizmo....stop that now....people will talk!!!!

Couldn't you have just sucked the pepper off the peas, Sloopy?..x

[ummmm]

The snow is here now...

[humbersloop]

yes, but sucking and spitting wasn't quite the way things had been organised

Is that Northampton? We had some Saturday.
