Good morning everyone

Sunny, cold and frosty here.

Yogi, my brother caught the train back home yesterrday afternoon

Summer, I hope Bramble has fully recovered now

Ros, thanks

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone, it feels bitter cold this morning, there's lots of lovely blue sky and fluffy white clouds, if only it was warmer.  I hope Bramble is back to her old self this morning.

Enjoy your day everyone 

Good morning everyone 

It’s dry and very chilly, up here. Might get some snow later.

I hope Bramble is back to her bouncy self today.

Stay warm, and have a good day, all.

Walked to the local Co-op to do a bit of shopping. Cold but not as cold as it will be  later this week.

Could get some snow here between now and Wednesday but not expected to be a large amount. The forecasters say that this will be dry snow so very powdery. Not much good for anyone wanting to build a snowman.

The snow forecast in my area from Thursday afternoon comtinuing through Friday is forecast to be wet snow so sticks together. For those wanting to build snowmen, that's better.

I think there may be some technical issues on the Met Office site. Although they have issued warnings each day until Thursday around the country, at present there's no warnings for Friday. It's very unlikely that there aren't any as much of the country could be brought to a standstill,

Good afternoon very cold here but not much snow, just the odd flake. 

Bramble has normal breakfast and seems alright, but she’s in a mood because I won’t give her a treat! I usually give her a dentastick after breakfast, but want to make sure her tummy is better first, her grump has lasted since 9am so far.. :laughing: 

are you all warm enough? 

I see from my email spam folder that my non-existent Apple account is on the verge of closure and to click on "Login and Secure Your Account".

My browser shows that it would take me to some obscure site in Russia.

I don't think I'll click on the link

Summer, I hope Bramble ceases her grump very soon

I think you'll be getting snow fairly soon.

Evening all

We had a little flurry of snow this afternoon.

I hope Bramble is out of her huff by now 

Ros, I hope your son got home safe.y and the car is sorted.

Got the tiddlers tomorrow so I’m off to bed. Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone

Sweet dreams yogi I hope you have a good day with the tiddlers tomorrow  

still no snow here, just the occasional short lived flurry. Bramble stayed in her grump all day, so I went out this evening and left her to it, she was much happier by the time I returned. I’ve told her she’s behaving like a spoiled brat and that I won’t allow it  

ros I hope all is well with you, I feel like we’re passing ships lately!  

Good morning everyone

Cold amd frosty here.

Yogi, I hope you have a good day with the tiddlers

Summer, I hope Bramble's grump is now over

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning 👋 snowy here, and still falling, with thunder and lightening too! And they say this is only the start of it too 

I hope you’re all warm & safe 

Good morning everyone, no frost here but it is bitterly cold.  Maybe snowman making with the wee ones today for Yogi?  Stay warm everyone.

Enjoy your day everyone 

Happy birthday El Loro

Thank you Squiggle

Aaaaaah happy birthday El!!!! I hope you’ve still got some cake 🎂🍰🥂

Thanks Summer

Yes, I kept a slice of that Mary Berry chocolate cake to have with my tea today. My brother brought that cake for the weekend and today being my birthday. That's the only chocolate I have during Lent.

Here's a logic puzzle I came across many years ago.

X and Y are two different whole numbers greater than 1. Their sum is not greater than 100, and Y is greater than X. S and P are two mathematicians (and consequently perfect logicians); S knows the sum X + Y and P knows the product X * Y. Both S and P know all the information in this paragraph.

The following conversation occurs:

• S says "P does not know X and Y."
• P says "Now I know X and Y."
• S says "Now I also know X and Y."

What are X and Y?

Not suprisingly, it has been called an impossible puzzle given that the reader is not told what the the sum X + Y is or what the product is.
This Wiki article gives the answer and the way it can be solved.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_and_Product_Puzzle

I hope you have all had a good day, and El has had a lovely birthday.

Very little snow up here (so far) but the children had a great time making squirrel pancakes

I had very little sleep last night, so I’m heading off to bed. Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone 

Night owl hugs

night yogi summer if you pop in

Good morning everyone

Cold here. There was a brief snow shower early last evening so there's a bit on the pavements etc. Some snow forecast this afternoon. I'll do a bit of shopping today due to the forecast throughout tomorrow and Friday.

Thanks Yogi. I hope you had a much better night's sleep

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone 

We’ve had a lot of snow overnight. Schools in the central belt are closed and the police are recommending people don’t travel, unless absolutely necessary.

Hope you are all cosy indoors 

Thanks El, I slept well last night 

Have a good day, all

Yogi, I hope the snow doesn't cause you problems. I think it likely that schools here will be closed probably for tomorrow and 99% certain for Friday. Like your area, it's likely that police will advise against all but essential travel. I'm glad you slept well last night

The reason I posted that impossible puzzle yesterday was because I was reminded of it by a puzzle my brother sent me.

The puzzle is:

"Albert and Bernard just become [sic] friends with Cheryl, and they want to know when her birthday is. Cheryl gives them a list of 10 possible dates:

Cheryl then tells Albert and Bernard separately the month and the day of her birthday respectively.

Albert: I don't know when Cheryl's birthday is, but I know that Bernard doesn't know too.
Bernard: At first I don't know when Cheryl's birthday is, but I know now.
Albert: Then I also know when Cheryl's birthday is.
So when is Cheryl's birthday?"

There was a second puzzle:

Albert and Bernard now want to know how old Cheryl is.
Cheryl: I have two younger brothers. The product of all our ages (i.e. my age and the ages of my two brothers) is 144, assuming that we use whole numbers for our ages.
Albert: We still don't know your age. What other hints can you give us?
Cheryl: The sum of all our ages is the bus number of this bus that we are on.
Bernard: Of course we know the bus number, but we still don't know your age.
Cheryl: Oh, I forgot to tell you that my brothers have the same age.
Albert and Bernard: Oh, now we know your age.

So what is Cheryl's age?

Answers to both can be found here

I think the first puzzle which is a logic one is harder than the second which is as much arithmetical as logic.

Good morning lots of snow here!!!!! Local services, schools & businesses are closed down for the day, and it’s still snowing now. If this is just getting started then I hate to think how bad it’s going to get! 

I hope youre all warm, dry and safe  

Summer, take a lot of care if you have to venture outside

The snow is very widespread because we have had quite a bit of snow down here too.  Roads are being closed, schools are shut etc, complete chaos.  I'm glad your brother came last weekend EL because I think that even by the weekend there's likely to be disruption on the trains.  Needless to say I'm intending on staying put, my repeat prescriptions are due to be delivered today, I can't see him making it through.

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, I hope your prescriptions can be delivered before you need them

Last week, before my brother had booked the train ticket, we had talked on the phone and had realised then that this weekend was out of the question.

The car battery is dead so I walked to the local Co-op. It's nearly 5 years old now and as the majority of my journeys are short, the battery doesn't get a full recharge so the cold has clearly killed it off.

Red weather warning issued for much of Scotland. It's due to  the quantity of snow

Afternoon all 

We’ve had a lot more snow as the day has gone on. I’ve got enough to make a family of snow people 

Squiggle, I hope you get your prescription delivery soon

Shame about the car battery, El. 

Summer, I hope you are cosy and warm too. 

I’ve made homemade lentil soup and have beef stew cooking atm. I’m going to add dumplings to it later on. We need hearty food in this weather.

Thanks Yogi

That's just the sort of food for this sort of weather

Many years ago when I was in the senior school, there had been quite a lot of snow overnight but we were still able to get to school. One of the other boys drew our attention to the road outside. And there was one of the science teachers skiing to the school down the road
