Oh yes PHOEBE, an apple a day DOES keep the doctor away! You have to remember I also gave tons of THEM away last fall. I suspect there won't be an apple in sight next year, the 2 poor trees really outdid themselves and will need to recover. They are very old trees, almost 40 years. PATSY, I hope you take Phoebes suggestion…

Anniversary greetings Barbie and Jake. SHIRLEY, the price of cauliflower today made my eyes cross. I too resisted buying. Was assured the price will soon come down as it comes back in season! Broccoli was less than half the price of a cauliflower. Anne.

Help MARIE, if I got to talk to you all, you probably wouldn't understand a word I said having not lost my northern accent! My Canadian born friend of 40 years still doesn't always understand me, but then she doesn't always understand the English program actors on TV either. Lol. Well, I didn't cross the border to buy a…

Finally lost 1 lb. Anne

I think our minus -7C is your +19F, so it is pretty cool here. I ventured forth but only to clear snow from around the bird feeder. Lots of tracks in the snow (I recognized the bunnies) and various sized bird feet. The mail can wait until tomorrow PHOEBE when we hit a balmy -3C. Can't wait, positively sizzling!! I am…

I tottered to the mailboxes JACKIE and I tottered back AND stayed upright. I bought these ugly hiking boots from Hikers Haven, and ugly they may be, but they anchored me to the ground. I cannot imagine me washing my windows outside without a coat!! The TV forecast is 3 days of snow. They interviewed one of our new asylum…

Chris, I do exactly the same, I work it all out first thing in the morning and that way, like now when I try to lose the few pounds I put on during the festivities, I can be sure I don't go over the daily allowance. Of course I let things slip over Christmas, e.g mince pies in and fruit cake in, calories most definitely…

Hi Sandy, my interpretation of the hairdresser not wanting to cut too much hair off was......if I don't cut too much off we maybe will see her again in 10 months, whereas if we cut it very short we won't see her for another year AND 10 months. Lol. To be honest, she's right, it doesn't really need colouring and very short…

Hello, just put my nose outside to feed the birds, and despite the sunshine, boy is it ever nippy. The nose and me didn't linger outside for long I can tell you! I've got quite a variety of birds, not to mention the ever present squirrels. Methinks I shall stay indoors from now on today and if I get a yearning for a change…

Good morning friends from bleak, rainy Ontario. The good news is, I THINK I have a solution to my every so often Internet woes. I'll test it out today and if it works I'll let you know in the hopes that it will prevent your devices maybe scrambling THEIR tiny "android" brains, (no prizes for guessing who watched Star…

Oh dear the device won't let me post. I give up for now. Anybody else being closed down mid sentence? Anne.

I'm having great diff

Hello! I haven't lost my profile Marie. I've Just been catching up with all your posts, wow what a lot! I'm looking forward to this weekend because I've just purchased the latest Lee Child. Can't wait to curl up with it. I have to secretly say I like the Jack Reacher novels as well. Mikes just left with our exuberant Cindy…

Managed to gain another pound over Christmas, all those mince pies and fruit cake. However started back on 1200 cals a day 3 days ago, so have great hopes. Anne.

I had a lovely day with family and Cinders was remarkably well behaved, but probably because I lifted all my plants off the floor and put them on the table in the back north facing room. The geraniums are still alive if a little spindly. After everyone had gone I settled down to TRY and watch Downton Abbey, and I really…
-
And me, I love it too, Anne.
-
Oh boy, you hit the nail on the head SANDY and BUZZ. I don't have one of these devices, still living in the dark ages, and without one I certainly see much truth in your cartoons. Busy day, family over and without a what'sit I can concentrate on Cinders the plant pot grubbing dog, but not sure about her owners! Thanks for…

P.S. From me. It turns out the horrified look on Derek's face wasn't about having to inherit my stoneware, it was about the idea of inheriting it because he doesn't want to lose his remaining grandparent TO inherit it, if you can understand all that. Sweet! However, this puts a whole new problem in place for me now happily…

Good morning Sneakers, and a dark morning it is and pretty chilly. BUZZ, you say such lovely things about everybody which makes YOU a very special person yourself. Your description of all that food had me drooling I can tell you. And I know what PATSY means about parting with beloved bits and pieces. I only have one…

Hello Sneakers. The new year here is a bright shiny new year in the form of a sparkling world full of snow flakes. The snow couldn't have arrived with better timing. Hopefully all the new year eve celebrators are now tucked safely in their beds and with all the stores closed few skidding cars on the roads. That's a very…

Good start for the year Marie. May 2016 be a very good year for you. God bless, Anne.

I just want to wish all you delightful and inspirational ladies a super new year, one that will bring you good health and much happiness. It's been a very pleasant and happy past year for me, being allowed a glimpse into your lives. Thank you so much, Anne.

Rain, rain go to Spain, And don't come back again! To quote another ditty! I hope you like the book Lin. This chap appeals to me because he can see the best and worst in each country. His birth country and his adopted country. It's his description of the fairy tale countryside that had me misty eyed. The U.K. really is a…

Yeah! PHOEBE!❤️ I'm sorry I've come to the end of The walk to Little Dribbling. Now I must look up his other books. Anne.

Alas SANDY the snow blowers arrived on my drive at 4 am. I don't think I will be very popular with the neighbours. What a racket, no gentle beeps, plus lights flashing etc. At least I have a wet drive, everyone else seems to have icy slush.
-
I'm reading Bill Bryson's second book JACKIE, The Road to Little Dribbling. Well having "mucked" my place out yesterday I can put the old tootsies up today because it's a horrible slushy mushy mess out there, a very mucky day. LIN, I'm so sorry you are feeling under the weather. I think I am at my most miserable when I…

Just a quick word about the book I'm reading by the former Iowa native now turned Brit. I can finally see why us Brits and once Brits are viewed as rather odd by the folk on this side of the pond. What to me is completely normal is viewed as somewhat eccentric by this gent, or I should say WAS, for after 40 years in the UK…
