The Devil finds work......






















I am rather ashamed to say that my hands have been particularly idle today.
I have plenty of housework to do, including piles of ironing, beds to strip, vacuuming, dusting, silver & brass to polish & even the glasses to wash from last night's dinner with the Wheelers.
All I have managed to do so far is a chat to aj & a quick trip to Coleshill to collect a prescription & take on emergency supplies of bread, milk, potatoes, a paper & frozen mini chocolate eclairs.
The latter was not so much a necessity, more of a post-Christmas bargain.
It is 16.29!
G has cleared snow, chopped logs, cleaned the pans from last night & lit the fire, making it even more difficult to move off the settee.
We intended to go for a walk but the individual intentions never coincided. We'll go tomorrow.
It's very cold today again with snow forecast overnight in the SE, perhaps reaching the Midlands - we'll never compete with Bicester or Ringsted for snow though.

Yesterday we had a fun day with Thomas, taking him to the park on the sledge, after dropping Jessie at school, then playing, including sticking felt Peppa Pigs on G whilst he had the odd nap, one more than he spotted before going to collect Jessie from school.
We cooked scallops followed by a nice rib of beef & yorkshire pudding for dinner with R & P, then a late night.
Watch out for the Ovaltine ad, it might bring a smile - it may be the best thing on this evening!

We ventured to Southampton today to visit Maya Rose, our lovely new niece. T and KP very pleased with their new cousin and her very small hands. Southampton has much less snow than here - the gritters still haven't been around here, B is thinking of writing a letter, so it must be bad.

Congratulations to Roy & Sian.
Why should your road be gritted - not a main delivery route.
Write to Gordon.
