Good morning.

Aren't I the early bird. Actually I hope any birds have found somewhere warm to roost as it's -4°C here and we've a frost. Still at least the bed is nice and cosy and warm, even if not sleep inducing.

Hopefully a grory hop today, after the car has defrosted.

Mornin n’alln’all

Well, I woke up to the sound of pattering rain and checked in the vague hope it was heavy snow……but nope.
5 mins later OH went to make a brew and called to tell me to look out of the window!
Yep…huuuuge 50p sized snowflakes falling Very wet, so I doubt they’ll stick but that’s made me happy this morning.

-4 gf? ….thats cold!…brrr….

Unusually , I slept like a lot last night so am feeling extra bright and chirpy and ready for a busy day crafting. The last push….then I can start tidying up the house. My crafting stuff is absolutely everywhere. It starts off with a system….bit like my veggie growing…

Keep warm peeps, and enjoy your day, whatever you get up to…

Morning all.

Dull at the moment, but not cold. If the forecasts are right, we should be getting a frost overnight, though. A month late. It'll be a shock to all the spring insects that have been emerging. 50 p sized snowflakes? They sound lovely. Last time I was in the UK, I was flummoxed by the coins. Had to hold out the money to the girl at the till and ask 'is that a 5 p piece?' She looked at me like I was mad. The same look I got from the woman staffing the self-service tills when I couldn't work out that system either. Can't put things down here, can't pick things up there... What amazed me most, though, was there wasn't a single staffed till in the whole place, a big Asda.

Was up early this morning to make peanut butter cookies as gifts and a few leftover for us. Haven't made these in at least two years. They're OK, but I should have added a drop or two of milk. Our first biscuits in a while and first home made ones since at least Easter if not longer. I cut back on the sugar by 20% but we both find them a bit sweet still. So that's good. Will cut back a bit more next time.

Paid work on the cards, as per for me. Mr Snoop is out and about today on assorted errands, or messages as rary would call them. Including picking up my Christmas baking flour delivery. Just need to get chocolate and maybe some more dried fruit and nuts and about a ton of butter and I'll be good to go.

Have a great day, everyone.

Good Morning All It's -4 here too, but sunny, so should warm up a bit later, hopefully. Have a good day
