Just spoken to Mary Jo and she's ordered a huge ham etc as well so we shouldn't starve over Christmas between us all. Mike's booked the last of his holidays to take off from the 17th to the 28th. The Covid cases here are rising rapidly as well so we could be in for another lockdown. I've nothing against grey but I hope…

Mikes here taking poor Jilly on a very slushy mucky walk. The groceries arrived intact with a large pre cooked hickory ham ... like naughty Jackie for....just in case. You know why you are naughty Jackie! see above. I like green and I've no idea why Mark is so against a very pretty, very pale yellowy green that I love.…

Sort of a nothing day here. We had quite a bit of snow fall and it was very cold but today it starts to improve and its positively balmy on Saturday. The groceries arrive today, a big order just in case I can't get delivery next time just before Christmas. Even in a cold clime fridges are a very useful item! Michael is…

It aint merry and bright here PATSY. Just ruddy cold! Anne.

Hi JACKIE, thank you for letting us know the latest on the female monster in prison. There are some very hard cases in prison, but few women in prison I think would harm a small child! Its bad enough that some men hurt and kill young women but a defenceless child is almost beyond imagination. There is a poetic justice…

Hi everyone. Two pieces of awful world news from LIN. The little boy Arthur I couldn't get out of my head when I read the sentence on the monstrous couple a few days ago. Before the little mite died he said "nobody loves me". Poor, poor little child. If one doesn't believe in hanging, and indeed it must be very hard to…

Brady looks none the worse for his horrible experience JACKIE. Not much to report except I feel like my old self which is LOVELY. I had a shower, put the washing machine on. tidied up etc AND put my sparse Christmas decorations up. Don't know if I can tackle a tree though and the decorations are somewhere in the jumble of…

Had a shower and hair washed. Washing chugging away. All's well in Bean and Annes world. Mike sent me an article though about an American employer firing 800 workers on a zoom call! How cruel! and I wonder if that was what was troubling Michael on Sunday when he was very quiet. The article said it couldn't happen that way…

It was this house SANDY. I thought of buying one of those children's cages we used to put around fireplaces to protect children but not sure one can buy them anymore. I've Still got the stove downstairs. I may use it again one day. We have old chopped logs in the garage from those days. Jilly is hardly likely to leap on it…
-
Oh JACKIE. poor Brady did what my dear little black cat Becky did many years ago. She burnt her pads and I meant to warn you today. I never lit the stove in the basement flat again. She survived but the outer skin on her pads was burnt off. SANDY, so very pleased for you and RELIEVED! gale force winds today. Bean is…

Enjoyed everyones posts and in a way I had the same theme going here. Mike showed up but for once he was rather grumpy. We had lunch of fish, mixed veggies and mashed potatoes, followed by one of my scones and then he took off by himself to find Beans treats of which she was running low. I wouldn't have minded a car outing…

Sleepless night with a cluttered mind so got up early and moved my bookcases and desk around. Love the new look and you can tell I must be on the mend lol. Mike will be over soon followed by Mark so expect the usual telling off. ANNSIE.

Just a quick good morning as I settle down to coffee and a warm fruit buttered scone just out of the oven. The grocery people sent me the most enormous Savoy cabbage and I've persuaded Mary Jo that she truly needs a half cabbage today. I will never eat all this giant before it's ready for the compost pile. I took Advil…

LOVE BUZZ'S GRAPHIC JACKIE, I'M GOING FOR IT. SORRY MFP!!!!!!! ANNE.

Hi LIN, I love todays two offerings and photos. Yes, I had chickenpox when I was 6 years old, that's a long time for it to be dormant in the body! I can remember being told not to scratch [to avoid being called Scarface] which must have been terribly hard not to do at 6 years old because I can't resist having a good old…
-
PS. Just heard from Michael. He's not coming over today because he says he feels rather ill and is off back to bed. He sounded full of cold. JACKIE, quite right - there is sod all we can do about viruses, lurgy's etc. Sorry to bend everyones ear! This is my first encounter with shingles so I guess I can't complain! Anne.
-
Last word from me today hopefully. I've been quite ill from Shingles and overnight I got to wondering if the Corvid vaccine could trigger the dormant chickenpox virus. Despite a load of people reporting shingles soon after having the two vaccine shots the medical folk report there is no evidence that this is so. Shingles…

Yeah, SANDY. The first hurdle over. Fingers crossed for the next result! The suds weren't the biggest problem, the biggest problem was the seal going on the ancient dishwasher hence the "rain" falling down below into the furnace room. Not surprising as we think the dishwasher is about 50 years old! The microwave will go…
-
Everything downstairs dried out thank the good Lord! I keep thinking of our Buzz living a life of luxury in the Florida home and being fed lobster at this point in time. Anne.
-
Morning! The good news is this very old dishwasher won't flood us out again! AND I've a super clean kitchen floor. Havent been downstairs yet. Annsie.

I simply don't believe this year! every month seems to bring something, bee stings, 2 molars out, shingles, wall leaks, basement walls pulled apart and just when I thought we must surely have finished with disasters.......... it started off well. Mark and Mary Jo showed up and proceeded to tear more walls down etc and then…
-
Can't resist SANDY. Do you know why rubber boots are called Wellington Boots or wellies? They are named after the Duke of Wellingtons boots which he wore at the battle of Waterloo.. JACKIE, I will be lucky if the basement is finished by NEXT Christmas. Oh oh, here come the workers. Bye, Anne.
-
Pass it on LIN, Anne.
-
Not much to report on yesterdays activities. The snow melted and the folk next door disappeared. They got rid of Harrys log burning stove and now we are wondering if the heat didn't come on from his unused furnace. Meanwhile Mark and Mary Jo had a debate and decided not to patch the basement here and there but to go the…

I enjoyed the first episode of All Creatures JACKIE. So far just as good as the first and I'm looking forward to the arrival of Diana Rig as Mrs Pumpfrey and her little dog, Tricki Woo. Her last appearance before she died is apparently her best. You had an aunt who lived in Thirsk!!!!!? Oh my, small world and we used to…
-
You beat me to it PATSY! 0h DO watch All Creatures Great and Small. I'm watered down a bit but you will get a rough idea of what my family lot were like! Not the INs. They tended to be a bit posher than us peasants. But the peasants were the most fun and very down to earth. A spade was called a spade if you get my drift.…
-
Marks here measuring the downstairs front bedroom which had the outer wall insulation and wall board removed. Yes, I saw the pub up on the high moor was snowed in for three days. That happens regularly and I remember one Christmas it was snowed in for a week and a helicopter had to drop Christmas cheer for the stranded…
-
And I'm sat here snivelling. All Creatures Great and Small is on PBS, the new version and I'm back in my - for a short time - personal heaven. We are back in time in 1932, but all is familiar as I was born in 1935. Wonderful news SANDY! Today is turning out to be much better than it started despite the snow. Anne.
-
Oh SANDY, good and bad news. Please dear friend stay safe. Of course we are worried about you! and the news on the radio just now wasn't at all optimistic with the new variant in Canada. JACKIEs advice is so good, stay home, stay warm and cosy. and get tested if you get the sniffles. I'm sorry I was a little hard on your…

It's a winter wonderland here. That lovely time when the trees are full of fluffy snow and everyones house looks like a Christmas card. I watched "Father Christmas is back" on Netflix which was filmed in my old neck of the woods. I think I recognized the pub which was named The Pipe and Glass but changed for the movie. The…
