Monday 11 Jan Chat
« on: January 11, 2010, 06:24:34 AM »



Good morning all.  :)

Got up early to clear the snow off the car.

The expected heavy snowfall didn't arrive,we had about 1" and its very wet.

Another day indoors again for me,hopefully we will be able to get over to Lincoln later in the week as it is Cadens 3rd birthday on Thursday.

Have a good day and keep warm and safe.  :)

Footnote...The picture was taken yesterday in WussShire..........

Good morning, unkyUb and all who may pop in.  ;D

I'm glad that the bad snow did not arrive in Sheffield, and I do hope that you can get out and about soon.......I know what cabin fever can do and would not wish it on anybody.
I hope, too, that things clear up enough for you to visit Caden........one look at his big wide grin will make up foe all the cold and misery.. :D

TD woke up this am to the sounds of dripping water and muffled thumps and crashing noises....being the ultimate pessimist I thought of burst pipes and falling ceilings. :(
Went to investigate only to find that things had turned so mild in the night that the icicles on the gutters etc. are melting and dripping at a trememdous rate and that the thumping was huge rafts of snow and ice sliding down and falling off the roof. The roads are now running with meltwater.
Apparently this bitty thaw is to last two or three days before the cold comes back...but that cold is to be not so extreme as before.
What a relief to get even a short respite.

I had a wee trundle along the riverbank yesterday afternoon to see that the ice on the river was breaking up.....some mini bergs there were 2.5 inches thick..not bad for running water.

Going to relax today and hope that I can get off my nervous, adrenalin fired state of the last couple of days.

Have a good day.......I do trust that no-one is beset bu bad snowfalls and that all  are well and warm.  :)

Good morning all :)

No more snow here at the moment, and only hovering around freezing point. It's the day of our weekly trek to Tescos, so we're really excited. :no:

It's good to hear that you tough guys in the frozen north are not so frozen now.

The picture below shows some new equipment being installed in the NC, just for the benefit of out favourite guest >:D

How kind of the management to provide such home comforts.   :lol:

Northerners will be able to brush off such comforts, as they brushed off a dusting of snow from their train yesterday - unlike our softies from wussland.

Well the cold snap has moved down here with a vengeance  -8°  overnight .....the vineyards are looking fairly frosted, but  because it's been dry the roads are clear (so hubby reports having been for a brisk walk )  it's an exceptional -4 at the moment  :o but bright and sunny, so hoping it will warm up slightly before 11 am, when my girly-shoppy-lunchy day begins.

Glad you're thawing out TD    .......  Hope you get to Lincoln for Caden's Birthday Unc  :fingers:       

Take care al and enjoy Monday !    :)

Bit of a thaw with  -1c over night, it's been snowing all morning with fog.
The local road report still saying about blocked roads in north Derbyshire (Peak district).
I think I'll see if I have some white emulsion and paint the shower room ceiling  :'( well it will keep me occupied ;).

Have fun with the ceiling, tickmike... :D

I notice that chrissie has not been around for three or four days. Hope she is not snow or ice bound and that all is ok with her.
