Morning troops 
Hope all are rank and file 
Good morning Iâve just got back from a lovely spa break with my mum 
it was my birthday gift from last year! We had a great time
I hope youâre all warm & dry. Weâve had snow but now itâs sunny. It is -1 though for the first time in a long time
I love those Ice pancakes!
Afternoon all
Frosty and bright. The low sun is a problem when driving - well, it is when you are a shorty like me
Summer, Iâm glad you and your mum had a good time at the spa
All is well, hope you are too, Twickers

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros

Good morning *early birds*
very cold here, but a nice bright sunrise is about to happen 
be careful out driving yogi, I too dislike the strong glare

Good morning everyone
On the cold side here and some rain expected later. Some of the weather sites (not the BBC) are now forecasting that in a week's time temperature dropping further to zero or sub-zero to mid February.

I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone
No snow atm but a bright and frosty morning.
Iâve got a couple of loaves in my freezer and some dried milk, just in case we get a return of the beast.
Summer, Iâll be careful when Iâm out and about, and you do likewise
El, last time I saw my consultant he commented that the price of my medication was finally coming down (itâs very expensive and the hospital board have to approve its use) but quipped, âIf we can get it after Brexitâ
Have a good day, everyone
Good morning everyone, it's a very breezy morning. I've got a rainbow just fading away outside my window and the sea looks so pretty this morning, like pale green glass with lots of white wave tops. The low glare from the sun is quite topical this morning as the Duke of Edinburgh blames that for the car crash he had yesterday.
Enjoy your day everyone
It's quite cloudy here so no low sun glaring through car windows here today.
Just had one of those computer scam phone calls. "Steven" with an Asian accent (which he was trying to suppress) claiming that I had been ignoring lots of warnings about my computer and ordering me to be in front of my computer so that he could "prove" that there were problems. I told him that I didn't believe him and he then said I had 30 minutes to comply and started a count down. After a couple of minutes he terminated the call.
What the options for your medication situation after brexit, El? Surely theyâll have to find another way to bring it in??

It's not clear as to if this is to do with brexit causing people to stockpile in advance causing shortages. I'll have a bit over 2 weeks left of the medication on the list by the time I try to get another prescription so there is some time for it to some through. The problem though is that people will panic, try to get prescriptions much eartlier than necessary causing problems for people who have left it to the last minute.
Oh dear. An disappointing example of humans being selfish rather than considering our neighbours. Everyone should stick together during uncertain times 
My brother has arrived for a weekend visit so I won't be around here that much. It's the visit I mentioned some time ago so I have a small Christmas cake I bought from M&S. It's a smaller version of the one Gregg Wallace demonstrated on the 2017 Christmas "Inside the Factory". Clip from that:

I hope everyone has a good weekend
El Loro posted:Yogi, it's not mentioned in the BBC news article by name but I've found out that one of my medications is on the list
One of MrYâs blood pressure tablets is on the list too.
Enjoy the cake and the visit from your brother, El.
Squiggle, I did see that the Duke of Edinburgh said he was blinded by the sun. He was lucky that nobody seems to have sustained any serious injuries.
Summer, you are right about people. If they stopped panicking and stockpiling, there would probably be enough for everyone.

It's a high blood pressure tablet for me as well though a different one to the one mentioned in that BBC article.
Hopefully, things will get sorted out.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Ros

Good morning everyone
Forecast to be a rainy day here, below average temperature but not cold enough for snow.
I realised this morning that I had another box of that high blood pressure medication so I have 4 weeks more in hand I have less of the other medications but those aren't mentioned on the shortages list.
Having a pleasant time with my brother and the Christmas cake is nice
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone.
It has been snowing and now itâs foggy.
El, Iâm glad you have a supply of tablets.
Hope you and your brother enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Got to go post some things this morning - I will take care on the roads.
Have a good day, all.
Good morning everyone, a bright morning with some blue sky. I'm glad your weekend is going well and that the Christmas cake is up to expectations EL. The medicine (again for high blood pressure) that I am running low on is not on the list but hasn't been available for weeks. I tend to stay well stocked up, rather more down to my pharmacy than me as they order in for me and deliver. I haven't received this particular item since August and when I googled the brand name it said it would be stocked again from January. I checked with the pharmacy again yesterday and still no luck so she suggested I phone my doctor and request that he issue a prescription for the generic name not the brand name. Let's see if that works.
Enjoy your day everyone
No mishaps thankfully, El
Squiggle, I hope your pharmacist can source some of your meds soon
Heading off to finish a Vera book. Goodnight and sweet dreams, everyone.
Hugs for any night owls

that is terrible

Good morning everyone, a little damp here. I'm glad your weekend is going so well and I hope your brother manages to reach home without too much delay and stress EL.
Enjoy your day everyone
Thanks Squiggle It's been a pleasant weekend with my brother. I've just dropped him off at the railway station. The trains seem to be better than they have been for a long time as it looks as if none of today's scheduled trains back from here to London have been cancelled. So he's catching the train he wanted to get for the first time in almost a year
Evening all
El, thatâs good news about the trains today, and Iâm glad you and your brother had a good weekend.
I had a busy morning and a relaxing afternoon.
Good evening ð sorry Iâve been awol, Iâve got a streaming cold, which is proving to be rather stubborn.
El I hope you enjoyed your Christmas cake and Iâm glad youâve had a good weekend
yogi i hope youâve enjoyed your relaxing afternoon
