Very envious @Logan.....sooooo love snow, I want some...NOW!!:D:ROFLMAO:
We have a seemingly mild ,frost free start to our day down here, but it is forecasted to get to - temps tonight.

Not much planned for today,may do a spot of grocery shopping.....hate the thought of Saturday shops:eek: at this time of year

Have a Fantastic Friday wherever you are.....and if like lucky @Logan you have snow then wrap up warm......and share pics of your snowmen with us less fortunate , snow free ones.....please:):)

Lovely photos, Logan! But I don't want the stuff. Not only is it cold, but it can be dangerous.

Logan: hope you and your hubby have proper shoes with grip on when you walk the dogs. A scarf and hat will be very useful when out!

Yep same here @alp, went round switching heating either down or in some rooms .. completely off !:)(y)

And I thought it was me. I was sweating after having been out 6.30pm. After an hour after 7.30, I was still hot. Before I went to bed, I lit a candle in a metal champagne bucket to warm up the lean-to and was so scared of causing a fire that I slept in the living room. Tonight I will do the same. Only one inch down the big candle - very well pleased. Wonder if that will be a drop in the ocean tonight when the cold weather really kicks in though!

Snow looks lovely Logan.:).... different world here. Cold but not bad. Its bright sunshine right now but odd shower too and a strong wind. Temperatures much warmer here than the icy east of the county.

Went to see my old auntie yesterday.......on her own and stubbornly independent but she struggles. Bit of a shock at her decline. Have decided to look in on her regularly now and arranged for other family members to do the same. She still drives to the shops but she has definitely slowed up quite noticeably. :(

Keep warm folks:)

I know what you mean. People can turn very fragile very quickly. Please keep a hawk's eye on her, especially when it's cold.. A cold or a fall can have very serious consequences. Got to have a blood test, yet again! See you soon.

Thank you, Verdun. No mess this time. Upon entering the blood test centre, there was a lot of noise from probably a Tourett sufferer. He made quite a bit of noise. Another person entered the waiting room, asking what they were doing to the person and joked that he's not going in. Quite hilarious, but thank heavens, the queue wasn't that long. Took a bus to the town centre to catch another bus home, only to find they moved all the bus stops again. .. It's rather chilly and usually I was very blasée and had only one coat. Thank heavens that I took a long overcoat with me. It is quite cold, but the sunshine made it so much better.
