Weekly Chat (Non-Osprey), 15 January 2023

I had a little chuckle just now Lindy!!! Thanks.
Well, today I am going on an adventure!! I will let you know tomorrow how I get on. It involves trains!!!!!

Enjoy yourself  Rusty! Look forward to hearing about it, later.

The clouds are pink as the sun comes up....

I think OG has her elder daughter visiting today. The weather there looks cold but sunny so I hope that they have a good time together.
The sun is just rising here, it is very low in the sky at this time of year. Roll on Spring !

Morning all from a still cold and frosty Suffolk although like many we are meant to get higher temps during the days but -2 at night.

Re Nightmares - I occasional have what my doctor said were night terrors - always awful things happening and I feel like I am paralysed and then finally wake in a sweat. Thankfully Ive not had one for a few months.

Heather - like you I am a Radio 4 girl and as I listen throught the night I often hear repeats so I just switch to Radio 4 Extra as they do have some good programmes.

I am off to get a few bits, including some logs which have been scarce for the last week, so may have to drive to a bit further to a farm shop that usually have them although a bit more expensive but its so nice to see a fire in the evenings.

Hope all those under the weather get better and all those venturing out or having visitors enjoy their day.

Just reading about the giant Cane Toad found in Australia!!!! Massive!

I know what you mean Heather. Just sitting in the lounge I often feel he is just over from me sitting on the settee. I suppose these feelings will stay with us for a while. I can only assume it is part of the grieving process. I must admit I haven't cried my feelings seem to come out in a different way. We are all different in processing our grief.

Another cold and frosty day here. No sign of snow. It seems its more Northern and Westerly where the snow is falling.. Off out for birthday lunch tomorrow and also one on Sunday with son, wife, and our dau.

Lindy - see you've been posting anecdotes to keep us cheerful, thanks.

Have a good weekend all and keep warm and safe.

Lindybird:  Toadzilla weiged in at nearly 6lbs!  Apparently they're native to South and Central America and were introduced to Oz in 1935 to control cane beetles, but now they are a major threat to native wildlife (another case of unintended consequences) and so Toadzilla was sent to that great lily pad in the sky...... https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/toadzilla-worlds-biggest-toad-australia-intl-scli-scn/index.html

Glad that you've enjoyed my posts.

I heard a great quote on the radio yesterday - not sure who said it originally though.

"Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes"
