Morning all and Patricia will have to remember to name you as some members might not know we have a new friend on here.
Maddie I keep looking at Niels "Coast " I dont know how many times i have seen ithem but each time I find something of interest I have missed before.

I can tell you all now surprise surprise I have thick deep snow you cannot see the cars and it is about up to the calves of my legs now. the cars look like small hills. to think people were clearing the snow off yesterday and it was only laying about inch on it now as I have said thick.snow covers them.

I wont be walking about ouside even with my little sos on a chain .
My Estate Manager just called to ask was I alright. ?I dont know what she would have said if I had said no. .but I smiled and said fine thank you.she got locked out of the flats yesterday and I had to open the doors to let her in out of the wind and snow.
A friend getting her hair done yesterday phoned to see if I needed any shopping as she was going near the shops so girls I have washing up liquid and toilet rolls hows that for forward thinking Lol

Pauline they just said Washington Station is closed I didnt hear whether it was the train or the bus satation so it appears you have more snow. sorry to hear that Brent must be upset.

I am going to have a cuppa now, I have had a bit of everything from Stephens list.

Hi everyone.

Lots of snow and icicles here.

Our snow is different to the kind we usually get, it's dry and powdery..........can't make a snowman with it because it won't stick together. Much easier to shovel away than the usual stuff though. Not that it makes any difference shoveling it away because it just comes back again.

Hope you manage to get to the hospital OK Shelly, is Olly OK?

Maddie, I love Neil's voice as well, lovely soft accent.

I thought Mommy Christmas wore red boots.



Edit: Thanks for the breakfast Stephen.

Dermot........noted!

Morning All.

It is a WINTER WONDERLAND here. We have about 3 inches of snow. Not as much as Stephen and Pauline. But quite a bit for the middle of a city.

Stephen do not fret. When I say cupboard it is a very big cupboard, enough for a li-lo and a 10.5 tog duvet. I have just taken Neil and cup of tea and he is fine. I shall probably take him for a stroll on the Heath later, to show him off, and he can describe all the flora and fauna to me.

Marilyn, Neil is the lovely man on Coast and Two Men In A Trench. He is Scottish, with long black hair. I have had him reciting the Phone Book just to hear his voice. He is a bit of all right. And yes, our is a big Victorian house. Lovely, but with high ceilings, and draughty doors. All the heating goes straight up to the ceiling rose. So if we had chairs up there, it would be great.

Hope everyone is warm and well.

Just off to make Neil his porridge.

See you all MUCH later.

Morning All,

Not so much snow last night but the temperature went way down measured it at -12C.

Snow was easy to clear as it was still powdery. It's snowing this morning, but only slightly.

Hope the drivers I met yesterday have stayed at home today.

Maddie, You've put Neil in a cupboard !!!!!! How terrible. A nice cosy bed would have been much better......even a camp bed would have done.

Well folks.......'I'm off to see the Wild West Snow' Hey Ho !

Have a good day ya all.

Last post of the night from me.

Got the agenda now Marilyn. Good on yer girl. Why not get out of the cold if you can. How lovely to be trotting off again so soon. You say Norwich for Christmas, but is that a coded name for Sandringham. Are you having Chrissy day with Liz and Phil. I know we are all Dames, but I havent had my invitation yet.

Mo you look lovely as MommyChristmas. Sort of like Mariah Carey in the video. All frolicking in the snow with puppies. lol

Putting Neil Oliver in the cupboard overnight, with a sleeping bag and a cup of hot chocolate. He will keep cosy in there, and then he can talk a bit more tomorrow.

Hope everyone is warm and well.

Night night all.

Rita, my boots are black not white, white shows up the dirt to much,coz I am a mucky kid. Plus I need to keep my white ones for best, for when I go visiting with father christmas on christmas eve.
The children expect it dont ya know. I am having problems with the elves, they are not working to their hardest . I will have to give them more hot chocolate, to get them moving again.
And the reindeer have all got colds,and runny noses, Rudolph is suffering the most, his nose is rather red and sore.
I am getting cramps in my fingers opening all the kiddies letters. Oh my word, the presents get bigger every year. If it carries on like this, I can see us having go get ourselves an Arctic Lorrie for the deliveries, the poor reindeer cant carry the weight for much longer.

Stay safe and warm all of you poor people having to go to work tommorrow
Night god bless you all, from a very wintery snowy Kent Luv Mo xxx

Thank you Stephen. Safely received.

I have got him in the kitchen reciting the Phone Book.

Dont care what he says, just wanna listen to that lovely soft accent.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.

Had a lot more snow today. My arms feel as though they have a Snow Shovel attached to them.......permanently. LOL

Mrs Stephen and I along with four friends were booked in for a four day break at a 5* Spa. Guess what ? The resort is snowed in. So it's a no go for us. Or showed that read 'snow go for us' . Have rebooked for later in the month.

Enjoyed my wee trip to Florida last night. A bit too hot for me though.

Hoping I can find a suitable drift of snow in the next week or so that will enable me to dig a snow cave for my wee grandaughters. That should be fun. Mrs Stephen has drawn the line at sleeping in it though.....she dosen't know what she's missing.

Catch you later. Off to clear some more snow. It's fresh powder so will be light as a feather.

Maddie,

Neil Oliver, with hair trimmed, on toast. Coming down the Cyber Hatch.........NOW.

Evening everyone, and hello to Pat.

Mommy Christmas for Mo. Blimey girl, you sure know how to confuse me dont you. Christmas names eh. Might give that a go.

Stephen, still waiting for Neil Oliver on toast. Never mind about your journey home, send him down the hatch. lol. Seriously, I hope you have calmed yourself now, and have had something hot to eat, and are in a better frame of mind. I know how Kevin comes in from work, depending on his mood, how many people have cut him up on his bike.

Our snow is now freezing over, that that will be fun going to work tomorrow. I look like a geisha tip-toeing to work. I am so afraid of falling over, I take tiny steps. I turned a corner this morning, and it was a sheet of ice. So I managed to get past on about 3 inches of pavement, holding onto a wall.

I didnt know Marilyn was coming home so soon. I thought she couldn't come to the Meet because she would not be back until April. Maybe I got it wrong. Will she send us a piccie of herself in the socks and sandals I wonder. pmsl

Hope everyone is warm and well.
See you later.
