Well folks thats that, all shopping now done. Got all my fruit and veg,early I know, but we could be snowed in by tomorrow. lol

The roads are pretty clear, it's the footpaths that are treacherous.
I don't mean to sound mean minded, but I do wish that parents would explain to their children, that if they make a slide on a path, how dangerous it can be to the elderly.
I just managed to stop one elderly man from falling this morning in town.
I don't know what would have happened had he landed on top of me, he wasn't exactly a small gentleman either.

Mommy,
that's what it's like where I am. hopefully it won't be so bad tomorrow because I want to go to town.
i haven't been outside today.

I'm trying to start panic buying.

There's no bread or milk in the shops. Heathrow type queues everywhere.
Turkeys have gone on unofficial walkout - well, they would have except the snow put a stop to their cackling.

Happy to confirm that there is no shortage of Easter Eggs.

I'll go to the Chinese Takewaway which is a the end of my road for tea!

Dermot ....EASTER EGGS !!!! your having a laugh !!

Now ....UPDATE...His lordship is coming home sometime this afternoon, the way forward is , the Consultant in Norwich has written to a Plymouth Consultant for Pete to have his gall bladder removed within 18weeks. So because the pain has subsided and the antibiotics are working really well he's allowing him to come home , but he has yet too wait for his blood test results to come back from the lab , so until that has arrived he has to sit on bed and wait ....could be all night !! LOL.

At least we will have a jolly Christmas .......

Pat , Am I missing all that south west snow ? If I am glad I'm not there yu can play with it and get rid of it before I come home.

I'm having a good drink tonight , fed up with these cups of tea and waiting by the phone.

Now have you all got your Christmas Shopping done ?

Shelly I know always on the ball with hers.....an organized gal !!

I'm going to read back a few pages now and get into the feel of festivities.

Marilyn,
Yes you are missing the snow here. the S.W got it bad. Haldon and Telegraph got problems. I think it's better today.
I didn't play int he snow yesterday when they made snowmen and played snowballs!

Marilyn, that's great news about Pete coming home today, at least you can all enjoy Christmas together.

Are you still going away after Christmas or are you waiting until Pete has his operation?

Hi All,

Hes not home yet waiting for a phone call..

Pauline yes we are going on the 5th Jan to Cyprus , don't think he'll get an opp before Christmas as the consultant said until the inflammation has all gone no operation can be performed . He's quite happy about that , He could have it done privately but it will have to be when we get back to Plymouth , so one step at a time now as the awkwardness of being away from home makes things difficult .

Pat ....Oh yes Telegraph Hill must be horrendous , glad I'm not traveling today ......

Marilyn,
Cyprus that sounds nice!
At least you'll escape the cold!
Hope you get the phone call soon x

Hope you all have a good sleigh ride dont forget to wrap up well dont want you to end up with the flu.

I am going to have a drop of whisky tonight I am not suppose to but every thing else is not working. if I am still like this to morrow I will have to phone the surgery.

I think being stuck in doors makes you feel depressed . so if I am around tomorrow I want to hear what a good time you all had.,Full moon tonight so your have a light to show you the way. lol if it isnt too foggy where your going.

Love
Rita

The moon is usually up there on a bright night.

What a pest...........Clouds are.

The first time in 300 years that a Lunar Eclipse has co-incided with the Winter Solstice......... and I missed it.

It was cloudy.

Sulks...with thumb in mouth......walks off mumbling.

Anyone want ot buy a good pair of binoculars ?

As the funeral procession went by, the American tourist inquired of Dublin policeman:

'Who's dead?'

'I'm not sure,' replied the Gardai, 'but I think it's the feller in the back of the front car.'

I looked out the window this morning 20 to 8 like they said. I didn't see anything!

Come on Stephen, it's getting cold out here, please don't be late.
I've got Gran's bloomers and Grandads long Johns on, they don't look great with my Mommy Christmas outfit, but I don't care.
Hey Ho Hey Hum, think i'll have a drop of rum.

Evening folks are we all ready for take off.

Marilyn, glad Pete will be with you for Christmas and not stuck in hospital.

Rita, you poor thing. Time to visit your GP I think. Got to be well for Christmas day.

Hope everyone else is well and warm
