So, so, sorry Jay. It’s awful. When my fil died 2 days before Xmas we had to go through the “festive” season knowing that he was awaiting interment. The queue just gets longer because the funeral home staff are also allowed a holiday.

Thank you all, it's very much appreciated! Mum is showing a very brave face, keeping herself busy making tea for everyone.

You have to make an appointment now to register bdm's, the celebrant was telling us today that registry offices in the local area are having to delay registering births to enable them to cope with the deaths! Some people having to wait 3 weeks to even register! It's an absolute disgrace!

Anyhoo, hope you all had a lovely day.

Sorry to hear your news, Jay22. Condolences to you and your mum.

Vaguely blue skies here, but chilly enough to put the range on. I'm never really quite sure what to call it. It's nothing like VC's Aga. Works a treat, though. And costs us barely a couple of hundred euros a year for wood for cooking, hot water and heating. Primitive as hell, but very efficient.

Off to see a man about a chicken (or two tomorrow). Mr Snoop fancies Leghorns. I find them a bit flighty. In any event, there probably won't be much choice. If we're lucky it'll be brown, black and just maybe, if Mr Snoop's extremely lucky, white. It's more likely to be just brown. If you want anything fancy, you have to order them and they get delivered by courier from somewhere miles away. Poor things.

And here's a special (visible) smile for Rary:

Good afternoon, an other wet day today, temp. in the car showing 10c but feels colder, managed to get the dog out and walked between showers, not that it made much difference to her she was through all the puddles and came home covered in muck, don't think my daughter will be to chuffed as all I could find to dry her was a white towel, well it was white took OH shopping we needed to get something for our son as it is coming up to his birthday, and as it is a significant one we wanted something a bit special, I suggested giving him a pound for every year but that seemed to fall on deaf ears I am not going to tell what age he is as VC would be shocked at me having children so young, though I will say he is catching up on me right need to go and make something for the oldest grandson to eat as he is always hungry when he comes in from school, no when I think on it I could miss out the school bit

[JanieB]

Another smile. I'm about to become a great grandma for the second time in less than 12 months. My grand DIL is in labour 2 weeks early. we don't know the sex as they decided they wanted a surprise. I'm sitting next to the phone.

What a beautiful day. It feels like spring and I've had the back door open since 10am. The dogs love it.

Good Morning All Bit blustery but dry so far. Have a good day

[Florence Fennel]

What a difference two hours make - it's blowing a gale and lashing it down - well, across!

[Nannysally99]

[Cadalot]

Morning crew, well there is a change wind to go with all that rain!

Managed to drop off coffee grounds to the allotment last night and look at the composting loo that I arranged to have erected

[JanieB]

I’m sitting in a Wetherspoons with a large mug of coffee waiting for my son to turn up. I’m cold and wet. I went to pick his tools up from his van which is in for repairs. I had to put the roof down to get them on to the backseat as there’s not enough room in the boot. It was persisting down. It’s nice and warm in here so expect to start steaming soon.

No news on the baby front yet. I’m taking two of my granddaughters and my baby great grandson out to lunch later. That’s something to look forward to.
