It was great being back in our wonderful wee Chapel for Liturgy this morning - lots of new people there as well :)
A nice coffee/chat session afterwards and finally got home about 13.00 :)

Good morning all :D

I'm up and now caffeinating. I have Liturgy this morning at 9am but I will be watching on Zoom as it's still dark and I do NOT like driving in the dark - never did - and till we have much lighter days I will have to stay home for these early Liturgies.

Roll on spring and summer :D

That's wonderful to hear.

We're coping over here with the cold weather. It could be alot worse. The Princess is studying hard for exams coming up. I'm relieved l don't have to revise certain subjects anymore...

Morning all !

Woke up to find my garden totally covered with white stuff :mad:

That's me housebound now till it goes :(
However it's not all bad news today - an app on my iPhone I use several times a day [ prayers and Readings ] has been playing up since Friday - just crashing every time I tried to open/use it is now working perfectly normally :)

Good Morning all !

Still very very cold and though the road past my house is clear of snow and I can hear cars using it , my garden is still partially covered by this snow/ice combination :( I'm staying in and keeping warm.

I hope those heading over to Church this morning are careful and stay warm

Evening all :)

The garden is now free of white stuff :D BUT it's still very cold and the ground is wet as we are having wee showers at times which could be problematic as the temps are only JUST above freezing and indeed at times are very definitely below 0

Tomorrow - all being well my Food Order from Tesco will be delivered so the freezer will be well stocked again :)
Keep warm everyone and stay safe :praying: :praying:

Morning all !

Bitterly cold this morning - seems my area is at -5C !! and may rise to the dizzy high of 0C by midday and then head to the negatives for the rest of the day :(

I have absolutely no intention of going out in this !!

OOF !! That's my Tesco order in and everything is tucked away - into the cupboards, fridge, freezer etc ! I'm shattered and now drinking coffee to recover :p

Even the nice driver commented that the temp was dropping again - had been better earlier [ about noon ?] but now the roads, pavements etc were starting to ice over again - and of course I live near the top of a hill

Grrr - well below Zero this morning - the iPhone tells me it's -7C !!
This is NOT good for me - it's not likely to get to Zero degrees till early afternoon

Oh well - just have to put up with it :(
We will have Hours taken in both our Chapel and on Zoom this morning

Good afternoon everyone. Its Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiday..!!!

Very cold again today but the temperature is due to rise over the weekend along with plenty of rain to accompany it.

We don't have much on this weekend so we'll be keeping a low profile...

Good afternoon :)
This morning seems to have been rather busy - not sure how , but I don't seem to have had much time for myself

I've been concentrating on staying warm :) My 'garden' had a few small puddles of liquid water in some places though still some pretty large patches of ice as well. Finally thought it would be OK to go for a leg stretch round it . It's absolutely fine near the house BUT at the bottom of the garden it looked OK and I was watching where I was very carefully and then suddenly - yup - a nasty patch of ice that I hadn't seen caught me and ......... I finally regained my balance and came back in . NO - I didn't fall and that was a good job as I don't know who would have been able to come and help me up - one friend's car is off the road at present [ would take about 30 mins to reach me even if their car was OK ] and another would be at work !

Once I got in the house safely I took a deep breath and then made some lunch - vegetable soup , toasted cheese and then some fruit.

Now I'm off to get on with some housework again

So glad you did not fall Anhelyna! Be careful!

Thanks Michie :) Oh I am really careful - this morning was just one of those things that are sent to try us - and they do :D :D
Strangely enough the liquid puddles are still there , and a few more BUT it's now getting a wee bit darker [ almost 16.30 ] and the ice patches that tried to catch me out this morning are now very very visible and I suspect there are a few more in that part of the garden too :(

The rain over this weekend and next week, about which the Weather folk have alerted us to , should clean things up a bit - I hope :)
