Margo enjoyed her meal with her OH at the weekend. It was an emotional occasion for them both. 

Back home after taking OH for his blood tests. I caught my reflection in a picture in the surgery. Why did I bother combing my hair ! The strong winds keep restyling it LOL. Playing indoor bowls this afternoon.

Tried to reply to your post hours ago, Brenda - just got the whirly thing  Grrrr!

Off out now for a check up with my GP.Back later.

Hello All -   Very cold here today, snow over the garden and road;  my back path is so icy that I will probably stay in today, although I do need some shopping but will have to wait until tomorrow.   It is definitely a day to start wearing thermal vests again!

Heather -   glad to hear that your rash is getting better.  I do hope that your brother has arrived safely and is not too tired after his long journey, and enjoys his stay with you.

OG -   In all this cold weather, I envy you your Bacon pancakes and Haggis,  just what I feel like !   Hope you will be very pleased with your new bathroom now.

Brenda -  I do hope that your OH is feeling better now.thank you for giving us news of Margo.

Rosy -  Have a safe journey home.   

Annette -   You really made me laugh with the story about the vinegar in the humidifier !  It must have smelt awful !     Glad you liked sticky toffee pudding,  I love it,  and it cannot do you much harm once in a while!

Margo -  So glad that you had a nice meal out with your OH. 

AQ  -   So sorry to read about all the devastation caused by the bushfire, so sad.  Glad that your childhood home survived but  sad that your mother's did not.   What a lot of work , time and money now to sort it all out and try to get things going again.

Lindybird -   Good luck with all the carpet cleaning and hopefully no more escapes from Bonnie !

Hope all that I have'nt mentioned  are keeping snug and warm in this cold weather.

HAPPY ST ANDREWS DAY TO ALL OUR SCOTTISH FRIENDS!

I wrote this hours ago, but it wouldn't post ---   grrr

Also said, Glad to hear that Margo & her lovely OH had a nice birthday dinner out.  Thanks for the news, Brenda.

Rita:   Sorry its so cold there:  we are lucky as its not really too bad, just very wet.  But I have a camisole on under my sweater!!!  The thermal underwear is ready for if it gets to minus something.

I flew off to get my blood pressure checked by the GP: I said to him wouldn't be surprised if it were too high after battling with parking and the rain & wind today, LOL!!  But he said it was OK and I can keep on with my meds. Actually, it was a locum as my GP is off sick so hope he agrees with the verdict.

Went into the garden to feed the birds this morning and it was a lake!  all the paths filled with water, and the lawn not really fit to walk on.  Hope it stops raining soon.

Don't think I'll get caught up with weekend - been busy with "this, that and the other" today.  Tiler finished and we are told we shall have shower enclosure Tuesday and shower wired and plumbed next day - with maybe a few finishing jobs after that, so busy making a list of what we think needs to be tweeked/sorted/completed!

PS - also got those final bulbs planted in containers - never so late before!
