Now, time for some breakfast. But one thing first -BE SAFE- this is meant for all of you in that cold area of the UK and Europe.....stay safe and warm oh and well fed!

*hugs Sil* Hope you can get home soon and warm up and rest that knee.

Would it be weird to huggle Woody too? Poor thing, out there in the cold

[XFchemist]

*huggles Sil* Hope you're home in the warm dry soon.

*chucks a blanket over Josi* It's freeeeeezing here! Had to leave Woody with his engine running for ten minutes this morning - he was all frozen over

Poor Woody. No not weird to huggle him too; I feel like he's one of us. We witnessed his arrival into our little family, helped name him and all that. In fact, I do believe some of us have, actually, huggled him already.

I didn't have to defrost at all this morning. Got back from the school walk and had to go to a meeting, and it was slushy already so no scraping. Not that I do scraping anyway; Engine on and wait is my method. It must have been just late enough to have warmed up enough to come away with a bit of hot air (oh how well does hot air work for oh so many things! )

No snow here (yet) but it did sleet for about 20 seconds at lunchtime. That said you know it's really bad when it settles here because urbanisation warms things up a lot. Unless we have another episode like the other years with it a foot deep again, I doubt we'll get much more than a dusting.

First of all when I said 95 I meant an independent 95 - not locked away somewhere and fed! Of course, I'll hire someone to drive me places....95 is a little old to be driving....and hire someone to clean the house - hell I have someone coming Thur to do that so not much different. Other than that - I'll do it my self. Well maybe I'll go out and eat a lot as well.....why cook if I can afford someone else to do that for me. Hmmmmm! To me it seems like the ideal life of a teenager now doesn't it!

Oh to be a teenager again! :

I'm with Jumble on the age thing though; the thought of living to 95 is horrific to me. Most days I think I'd be happy with shuffling off my mortal coil somewhere in my mid 70s; some days I think making it to 41 seems like an insurmountable task Today has been one of those days.

Woody has already been huggled by several WooHoos

Glad to hear you're safely home - keep warm!

Indeed he has - I have photos

First thing this morning I went online and ordered enough canned and frozen food to see us through a couple of weeks - don't want to get caught out like last time

I wood hate to be a teenager again - I was painfully shy and still firmly under the dragon's thumb

I've always said that I didn't want to live much past 70......... but now that it's not far away I'm not so sure Que sera, sera I guess, but I'm definitely holding Suz to her promise to nip me over to Switzerland if I get the dreaded Alzheimers

*huggles for the bad day*

[llp]

Amazing how the closer you get towards one of those "dreaded" ages, the more you are willing to push it back a decade! When I was around 19 or so I figured I'd never make it past my middle 30's, now at 65 - I think 90's is better.

Hope you are all fairing well under that cooooold weather!

*runs in*

*huggles you all, including Woody*

Sorry, I've been quiet. I was here a couple of days ago, but it was a quick visit and I just caught up My bad.

[DutchIndeed]

*runs trough to wave and hug*

*huggles all cold, old and ill WooHoo's*

Have spent best part of this evening baking - a delightful little Sweet potato pie that is Wheat, Guten and Dairy free.

I have a Friend coming for my monthly socialising session tomorrow and I'm cooking..... She's a vegetarian with a Gluten,Wheat and Dairy intolerance, which always makes my cooking attempts.....interesting

So tomorrow's menu consists of:- Baked Butternut squash and Black bean Burrito's with cajun spiced potato wedges and the Sweet potato pie I mentioned above - I have some nice clotted cream to go with my Pie, my Friend will have to bring her own substitute


I have also decided (at 10pm mind you) to try making some pasty - to be honest, not my best idea, although I do now have some yummy nutmeg type scones baking in the oven (how I got there from pastry I will never know!! )



Huggles and sparkly butterflies to all

[Jumble]

*waves to Nad and Wendy*

Well they say you learn something new everyday - I didn't know sweet potatoes were gluten free, but now I do

[m_wendy_r]

mr YUM! That sounds yum.

Same here. I didn't know that either. But I do love sweet potatoes

I may be wrong but I believe gluten comes in flour based items!

[Madness reigns]

I may be wrong but I believe gluten comes in flour based items!

It's a protein, mainly found in grain products - bread, pasta, some cheeses, cereals etc.

I've had a great time researching this so that I don't accidently 'poison' my Friend when I cook for her

[Nolamom]

Good evening WooHoos!

Bundle up all you cold WooHoos - and keep dry. Sil - elevate that knee and give it a rest. Hopefully tomorrow the drive won't be so long.

Today's bits:

[llp]

Yeah! Finally found the remote to my TV. It's been hiding from me for about 2 weeks now. It tucked itself into a hideaway spot on my recliner chair. But I was determined to find it and I did! Much easier then getting up to change channels!

Well tomorrow is the big day for the doctors...so if I am going to eat...got to do it before midnight! Problem is, I'm not hungry now but I will be in the morning and I won't be able to eat! Life can be frustrating....and why did I make a 1 pm appointment???
