Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I remember the days of -15 or 20 and water pipes in school being frozen and not going to school for a couple of weeks.

When my wife started teaching in Clydebank it was in old huts with gaps in the walls. It was so cold one winter that the kids had to wear outdoor clothing in class and she stopped every half hour and everybody had to do exercises to get warmed up a bit. Tough in them days.I remember the days of -15 or 20 and water pipes in school being frozen and not going to school for a couple of weeks.

A good morning to all.
A quick patrol of the facilities while the kettle came to a boil; now back to bed with a cuppa. I thought about staying up, but what's the point? I'm telling myself that I'll get up at 9 and go for a wallow, but I might talk myself into an extension to that.

Another nice bright sunny day but still cold. Currently 2.4C. No snow here but on a FB page people are advised not to bother trying to go to Glasgow from Oban as Glasgow seems snowbound. In any case the A85 is closed with a bad accident about 4 miles outside Oban. A sharp S bend where water tends to gather so probably bad ice.
Need to clear some bits of the garden if it gets a bit less cold.

Channel 5 wasn't working here the other day. I tried to get it using 4+1. To my astonishment that didn't work. Bloody technology.
His idea of "getting dressed" is wearing a willy warmer

Bonjour. Molly forced me to get up at 8.30 and now having breakfast listening to 70's music on Spotify, courtesy of Google. That yellow disc is up, surrounded by blue sky but very cold.
Nothing planned again for today apart from ringing Mrs G to make sure all is well in Devon and also two of my brothers on video calls so I don't forget my French.
Oh, Mrs G advised me to ring the surgery too as I should have heard about my vaccination apparently by now , being over 70 ( just).
Stay safe everyone.

I recorded The Lone Ranger t'other day. Has a good rating.
I watched an early Steve McQueen one yesterday......Nevada Smith. So long since I last watched it the it was a good watch.
Everything seems OK in Devon this morning.
I've got to ask @gavroche do you still have a noticeable French accent? Or do you sound more Taffy now?
