Re: Happy Monday Folk.

Where was that picture taken Bob? It is truly beautiful.

It's muckle dreich here the morn' and chilly to go with it.

I've got the car idling on the driveway warming up so I can get out to get the newspapers and whitener for my coffee. Oh yes, and the coffee from Taylers of Harrogate arrived! I'm looking forward to trying that out, especially the very strong "Hot Lava Java" which is rated 6 on the strength scale. Should give me the caffeine kick I need.

I would advise anybody who owns a coffee maker to run it through with a tank of just water and no coffee every once in a while though because I did that with mine just half an hour ago and the water that dripped into the pot was like coffee despite there being no grounds in the filter. Just goes to show how much old stale coffee residue you are drinking when you brew a pot.

I do plan to upgrade my coffee maker soon though as just now I just have a cheap DeLonghi one which does the job but I'd one with a bigger pot and some more features then I'll designate the DeLonghi to the bedroom and set it up on the bedside cabinet for those lazy mornings where I can't be bothered getting out of bed for my coffee.

Oh the lazy bugger I am.

Anyway, the car will be warmed up now so I'd better get going.

Talk to you all later.

Re: Happy Monday Folk.

Good morning fellow members another miserable dark day. The snow has turned to icy rain and it is very cold.
I have to go out to buy birthday cards, wish I didn't need to.

Lots of housework to do , I have baby Hannah tomorrow so won't get anything done then.

Enjoy your day everyone and stay warm

Re: Happy Monday Folk.

The butterfly was a visitor to our garden.

Sunny here today but the wind feels as if it's come from Siberia. Very warm out of the wind and very cold in it. I hope you don't get a lot of snow in UK.

Re: Happy Monday Folk.

We're back home after the airport run. No snow problems but slow moving traffic on the A14 added 3/4 hour to our journey down.

Re: Happy Monday Folk.

Good morning all, the Sun is shining but dark clouds are looming on the horizon, heavy rain approaches I fear. Good to have you back from you weeks pampering AB, I'm glad to hear you and the good Lady enjoyed enjoyed yourselves. Isn't Monday a lovely day when you don't have to go to work.
Enjoy the day folks.

Re: Happy Monday Folk.

Good afternoon all we are fortunate that the snow hasn't reached us yet but it's very cold here.

Went into town with my daughter this morning, not to buy anything special... just to have the morning together for a browse, cup of coffee and a natter.

Called in at the Health Centre on the way home and took the first of my required BP readings on their "DIY" BP machine. Does anyone know what a normal-ish reading should be?

Bob - it sounds like you had a great time at the Health Spa and what a nice way to start the year I think I need something like that

Enjoy the rest of your day folks ...keep warm!

Re: Happy Monday Folk.

OMG it's falling down on snow landing as well.
