Always!

Oooh a 'heated bodywarmer' sounds fab - team that up with a good balaclava and you will be proper toasty! 🤣

Would it be okay to stay indoors from now until March - asking for a friend 🤣

Oh Mousie - I remember it well 🤦‍♀️

Good morning - 'tis Friday. Happy New Year! Christmas was lovely for us - we were with eldest son and family on Christmas Day and youngest son and family on Boxing Day... Tuesday of this week we had a bit of an adventure (!) we travelled up to London by train as Mr S had a hospital appointment, well two in fact, all was going swimmingly - train on time, taxis readily available but then when we got back to St Pancras we got caught up in the chaos of the 'tunnel' being shut - it was fine but it did give us a sort of 'what the heck is going on here' moment...poor people who were trying to travel via the Eurotunnel, I felt so sorry for them... Other than that it has been a fairly quiet week - not a complaint - I am all for the quiet life! Quite looking forward to getting back to 'normal' next week with my usual activities re-opening... Oh, we had a 'smattering' of snow overnight - but nothing much - think we are currently under a yellow weather warning but although very, very cold we have a beautiful blue sky Hope everyone is okay Take care all xxx

What Mousie said! 🤣

Are you fully recovered?

Just popping in to say 'Merry Christmas' to my Friday friends x

Oh no - you poor, poor thing...I have only had flu once in my (very long) life and I know exactly what you mean - I remember taking my mum shopping about three weeks later and saying to her "we are going to have to go home mum, I think I might pass out". After that I paid for a flu jab every year up til I was old enough to get a 'freebie'... I am sending you lots of love and heaps of get well vibes xxx

Good morning - 'tis Friday Another busy week which has just flown by - I am using this as my excuse for not even starting my wrapping - I must stop saying 'tomorrow' before I run out of 'tomorrows' 🤣 Hope everyone is okay? Take care all x

Not such a good experience with youngest granddaughter's performance yesterday... The drama group hire a 'theatre' within an independent school premises - have to say that I have never liked the place, it has a really weird vibe... We arrived to find a very full car park - there was a 'parking steward' directing operations...Mr S ignored him waving us on because he needs a disabled space - parked the car and I could see the parking steward advancing on us then the following happened: Him: What are you then, handicapped (to Mr S) I showed him his Blue Badge and said quite gently: You can't use that expression, the term is disabled Him: I need to check that he is handicapped Me: I have said please don't use that word it is offensive, it is disabled We then queued outside the theatre when I caught something from the corner of my eye scurrying across the path, moved to the other side of my DIL saying "I think that was a rat" (I really don't do rats) - it wasn't just one rat, there were lots of them - my life, get pest control in please... Then performance was really hampered by sound issues - the children's radio mics were distorting their voices. At the end of the performance the drama school leader said: "as you could probably tell we had some tech issues but that's show business" Hmmm - obviously didn't let on to our granddaughter that we didn't enjoy the event - but we really didn't - they had rushed us £16.00 per ticket for this to add insult to injury - hey ho - we will always attend to support her...but what an awful afternoon ☹️ my DIL said, I think they want to change the venue going forwards - here's hoping!

Fogginess - that happens sometimes - well it does to me! Cake and pasties sound great - hmmm veggie Christmas dinner - no idea but I know you will come up with something delicious!

Oh no you poor thing - sending lots of get well soon wishes to you dear zigzag xxx

Hello Chloe and welcome to this wonderful forum. I am retired so I can't offer any help - sorry - but hopefully someone far more useful than me will be along soon!
