Thank goodness we have heard from you Jean, mrs worry guts that me.
I am sure we are all praying for a good outcome for you love.

Stephen, my sons car is parked in a car park, somewhere near where he works. He is hoping he wont get fined for leaving it there without a ticket.
He was unable to get into work today, no trains,and no car either. His area manager was not very happy about it, but what was he supposed to do,walk all the way to Orpington Kent.
A colleague at work moved it into the car park yesterday for him, as it was his day off.

I am dreading having to go shopping tommorrow. But we are running out of food. I just hope there is some left in the shop for us to buy. After Rita telling me how much people were buying near her, it may be bread and water till it clears up. I know I can get bread in our corner shop,as the owner is a good friend of ours.

Can I borrow someones sledge and huskies for the day please. Or failing that, Stephen can you arrange for a special s food parcel to be dropped into my back garden.

Love to all.. mo

MommyC.

Do you not keep some bread in your freezer? Also a pile of tinned stuff to keep you going.

No problem arranging a food drop................lets have a wee list of what you need.

I once saw a burned out car with a Parking Ticket on it.............hard to believe they could be so heartless.......or just plain stupid.

Two loaves of bread in the freezer, plenty of milk and butter, tea and coffee, But no meat for stews and casseroles, mince for my spag bog pork for me sweet and sours,leg of lamb, pork, chicken,and as many veg as you can get.
Tesco's and all the big stores have stopped making deliveries,they cannot get into the side streets.
Got plenty of bog rolls.
Our freezer is only a small drawer one,and once this lot clears we are going to get another one,so that we don't get caught out again.
The trouble is, we have not been out of the house since monday,and I am now starting to go stir crazy. Bye from one crazy woman....Mo

According to the Newspaper, the best weather forecast for tomorrow can be obtained by calling the Met Office the following day.

Home about 9pm, so Evening All. Just had something to eat, and collapsed in front of the tv. Load of rubbish on.

The elderly have been conspicuous by their absence today at work. We have regulars, but they have not ventured out into the cold.

Please Shellys little un is feeling better, and progressing well. Must be strange for him. But in a few weeks time he will be forgetting how he was before. If that makes sense. Kids are very adaptable.

Does Marily know how, and if, she will be flying home yet. Most of the airports are closed.

Had a lovely day with Neil, thanks Stephen, took him over the Heath, and he pointed out the important landmarks. From the top of Kite Hill you can see all of London. We spoke of the History of Scotland, and how Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned in the Tower. How her son James became King, and all manner of things. I then took him to Spaniards Inn for a lubrication.

I am sending him back along the cyber hatch. I have taken too much of his time already. He needs to get back to his family. Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh. He is on his way.

Rambling now, due to tiredness.

Night night everyone.
Keep well and warm.
Sweet dreams all.

(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?

Tea or Coffee

Porridge, Cereals, Scrambled eggs, Toast.

\_/ Malt Whisky to keep the cold out.

Get tore in......it's on the Hot Plate.

No more snow last night.....thank goodness.

Temperature at -14C this morning......a wee bit chilly.

Clear sky, loads of stars shining brightly........lovely. The moon has all but gone from this phase.

The snow drifts are huge but don't cause any problems.

Hope you all have a nice cosy day........don't wander if you don't have to.

He Ho ! Off I go.

Have a good day ya all !

Morning all.

Thanks for the breakfast Stephen, I'll not bother with the whisky though.

We've had loads more snow, I think I'll be here till springtime by the looks of it.

My poor garden will be ruined with the weight of all the snow on everything.

Stephen, I've never seen this type of snow before.......it sounds silly but it's a dry snow.

Jean, I'll be thinking of you on Monday and keeping my fingers crossed, waiting for you to tell us the results.

Rita, it's probably right about Washington Station (it's a bus station) being closed, it's really bad here, don't think the buses are running.

I saw the photo Marilyn, I think those trees looked horrible, looking at them everyday would spoil the idea of Christmas for me.

Take care everybody and keep warm.

Morning everyone.

Snow has turned to ice, so will be skating to work.

Got to try and get to the West End tomorrow so that will be fun.

Just off to make my own porridge, the one Stephen left has gone cold.

Stay well and warm everyone.

See you later.

edit. What website is Marilyn talking about, and what photos. I can catch them tonight.
