The white stuff has been falling for an hour or so

Thanks from the South for taking one for the team

I use to do that when we had a royal visit from mother out law. She still found stuff to be sarcastic about so no longer bother.
So now I just shoot her comments down in flames instead much more entertaining.

When my wife was alive she was a MIL and found things to criticise but had a policy of keeping her thoughts to herself and mouth firmly closed. She got on very well with our DIL.
She did not keep them entirely to herself as I was told about them.

Keep it up there please us soft southerners don't need it

I'd be out on the bike (studded tyres) if I wasn't still not so good. Got to go to drop my daughter off for work a couple of villages away. Fortunately, I'll take the car with All Seasons on - daughter wouldn't be happy if I said we are 'cycling'.

£7 5s 3d for a gallon of petrol ⛽!!

Pretty cheap. My diesel is £8.55 per gallon.

Not quite as cold this morning when I got up at 2.4C outside tho’ parked cars have a coating of frost.

An email from the crafty b———s at OVO who are changing prices on Jan.1st.
Standard energy of which I use very little is coming down 1.2p but Off peak which is currently my main heating is going up by about 5 or 6 pence.

The sun is now up over the distant mountain and soon will be moving every morning back eastwards.
This shows it earlier when just about to appear.

Same here. I thought the point of being cheaper overnight was because there was less strain on the grid so you benefitted from it. I still can't be arsed getting gas in though so will just need to grin and bear it.

Another bitterly cold morning - it was still well below zero when I finally left the warmth of my bed to make a cuppa. The light mist has finally lifted and the sun is out just in time for me to defrost the car and go and collect my mother and take her down to see her sister.

After another coffee that is.

My MIL tells you all the gossip from the rest of the family... I wonder what she says about us!

When it's a bag of woe I want to tell her, I'll give them something to cry about!!

 

[Andy in Germany]

Is that raining or should it be railing ?

Actually, they're getting both, but the raining has turned to snow. It's also quieter than the railing construction.

 

[Speicher]

She does

Yes, but not tonight!

That's the danger of gossiping: it makes it hard to trust.
