Sunday

 Good morning, everyone.  It's so cold here ( in comparison to how it usually is, I mean) and there's a very heavy frost.  We had such a lovely, pink sunrise this morning I just had to grab my camera and click.  It's not an amazing photo but it's a reflection.  It's now just dull and grey and the Beeb says 'heavy snow' - which I'm taking with a large pinch of salt as we rarely get heavy snow here, it's always heavy rain!


Yesterday turned out to be a very lazy day indeed.  I got my bit of early morning shopping done which turned out to be not a 'bit' after all, by the time I'd got some 'in case' things.  I was a bit shocked at the bill but everything's going up so much at the moment, it's hard to predict what it's likely to come to.

Finally, Chris and I had our weekly chat and it was lovely.  I know I keep saying this, but I'm always amazed at how much we have to talk about when we can't go anywhere or do anything much.  She's very well, as is her family, which is always good to hear.

Beth had no repercussions apart from a very slightly sore arm and a bit of a headache.  I'm really hoping to go over to hers this afternoon but that's going to depend on what the weather does.  She lives on a hill, the road is narrow, there's parking either side and it rarely gets gritted so I will be taking no risks.  You have to take it pretty slowly at the best of times.  If it comes to it, we can have an online coffee instead.

This morning I have a few little bits and bobs to do - some ironing to finish off, for instance, and I ought to change my sheets today too so I will have washing to do.  I might tackle a cupboard or I might just snuggle up in my recliner by the radiator, telly on, knitting to hand, Kindle within reach and a nice hot cuppa.  I'm not going to push myself, that's for sure!

Have a good day, everyone, stay warm, safe and well and, if you do have snow, I hope it's not too heavy or difficult.  xx

  1. It's just started to snow here in South London and we rarely get snow too. Beautiful photo, I hope you enjoy your day inside in the warm. It sounds the same as I am planning too. xx

    1. We got some snow but not much. Quite disappointing, in a way. Where abouts in S London are you (roughly). I used to live Sydenham/Forest Hill way.

    1. Hi, thank you for commenting. I didn't really want to retire but now I'm very glad I did. Good luck with what is possibly your last job. xx

  3. I thought the prediction for snow in this area was wrong because we rarely do get any but I woke to a very white world this morning, so for once they got it right!

    Hope you do manage to get to see Beth in person. Enjoy your day xx

  6. Oh wow! That sky is absolutely beautiful. Nice capture, Joy!

    I hope your day went as planned. I too have to iron a stack of clothes, but I've been postponing it for a while now. :)

    1. Oh, that ironing!! I used to leave it and leave it and leave it and then it would be too dry to iron properly! I am glad I have the time now. Good luck with your stack!
