Because of the weather (either raining, or, snowing), we have not been out of the house, except to go for our Covid Jab, on Saturday, since last Monday, no cycling, no walking.

Today, it is sunny, but, cold, and, no snow actually falling. Despite the fact that it has been snowing for the two previous days, there is surprisingly little on the ground.

I am reasonably good at entertaining myself (or, as Mrs @BoldonLad would have it, sitting on my backside, for hours on end, playing on the internet), but, Mrs @BoldonLad does not take well to being cooped up indoors, and, is pacing around the house, like a caged tiger.

Accordingly, since it is not currently snowing, and, for my own safety, I suggested a walk, we managed just short of 5 miles around "Colliery Wood", it used to be the site of a coal mine, but, the mine closed about 30 years ago, and the area has since been landscaped and planted with trees.

A limerick was being recited from somewhere downstairs ...

Get up, get up,
You sleepy head
Get up you lazy sinner
We need those sheets for tablecloths
and it's nearly time for dinner.

:blush:
Trying to remember one dad used to come out with. Broad Scots accent so maybe hard to get the spelling right.

Get up, get out ye lazy lout and intae yer wurkin claes. Up tae yer knees in oil and grease and dae whit the gaffer says. :laugh:
