Chitchat thread #24

Good morning all.

I struggled to get to sleep last night. I was still tossing, turning and coughing at 2 am. However something magical must have happened then as I never heard a thing until 9.30 am. I think the main reason that I awoke then was that somebody had pinched all the duvet and left me with a two or tree inch stripe of uncovered skin and I heard my new vac filters dropping through the letterbox. All my aches and pains seem to have melted away so far today together with the cough.

Happily I don't need to do any shopping today. The only thing on my list I didn't get yesterday was prawns, not urgent, but I was fancying prawn curry or risotto. I even grabbed the last bag of frozen croissants. I have just had a eureka moment. Next time I need shopping in the school holidays I will consider an online shop. I still keep getting the offer of £18 off a £60 shop for my first online shop from Sainsburys. With a fridge and freezer full of food now my hardest job will be deciding what to choose to cook. Should I make Cornish pasties or quiche or should we have lamb shanks?

Time to set the washer off and have more coffee.

Feeling like a drowned rat today. It was supposed to be dry this morning and only light drizzle this afternoon. Clearly the clouds didn't get the message. Lots of close thunder and lightning too.

Glad you're OK, bramble.

Sounds like a fantastic deal you've got going with Sainsbury's, GF. Long may it last.

Enjoy the telly, Jay.

And have a great rest of the day, everyone.

Heartbreaking pictures and videos of the damage in Spain.
Where to even start clearing up…residents and rescue services must be stretched beyond belief.
So much damage not to mention the loss of lives…..

So glad you are both ok Snoop and bramble. X

Hi All,
It just shows that bad weather can come anywhere anytime out of the blue especially flooding. Just so sad that so many have lost their lives at this time of year being so close to Crimbo. This type of event is never good at anytime, the families will be distraught as Crimbo will now forever be remembered as a sad occasion for those family members that remain.

I watched a report earlier that said they had began looking for bodies in the mass of piled up cars and debris from the buildings affected by the torrent that had come down the rivers seriously affected, all we can do is say a prayer for the lost soles and for the family members affected.....

Geoff.
