I can’t say I would be either if I lived in a village

I always make sure I have a couple of loaves in the freezer and some dried milk in the cupboard when I know we are due snow....just in case.

Keira used to love the deep snow. Sometimes it was so deep, we could hardly see her head

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Moonie and Ros

That’s very sensible, if I may say so

Awww, a happy memory of a much loved companion

😂😂 I’m not so keen on it when our village gets snowed in.

same here it feels claustrophobic-we live near a main road but where we are is slightly uphill and on a bend - we get rock salt now which helps but getting to the main road is a slight slope as well hate snow tbh but better this year as work is online

A new hard drive is needed then El

Both my laptops have SSD’s...One laptop has Windows 10 installed the other has Linux OS. Neither has large SSD’s but I have two external drives, one a terabyte and one a half terabyte. Tbh I don’t use them very often now. I just keep their OS’s and antivirus up to date.
My iPad is the thing I use everyday

Moonsie  and  EL-you are far more techy than me-admire you both

Good morning everyone we too have a yellow warning for ice. I'm not intending to go out but I hope we don't get snow.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Sunny cold start here though the frost is starting to go. Colder than yesterday and colder still from tomorrow. Looks as if the present forecasts are that the temperature gets higher during Friday.

Yogi, I hope you don't get snowed in

I hope everyone has a good day

Done my food shopping and don't have to get any more until next weekend Yellow warning re-instated here for snow and ice for tonight and tomorrow though at presert it's not expected to be as bad in my area and elsewhere.

Good morning everyone

Foggy and not to warm here. I don’t need to go out until Tuesday

Well done for sorting your week ahead out El

Yellow weather warnings for today and tomorrow for snow and ice here

Have a great day. Stay warm and safe

For anyone who is interested, the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England is having a star count from this evening for the next week. It's to count the number of stars you can see (wothout using binoculars of telescopes) in part of the Orion constellation.  It's in the sort of rectangle with at the top left is Betelgeuse, the top right is Orion, the bottom left is Saiph and the bottom right is Rigel. Betelgeuse and Rigel are amongst the brightest stars. Half way up the rectangle are the three stars known as Orion's Belt (from left to right Sigma Orionis, Alninam and 31 Orionis). The constelaation is towards the south.

For more information:

Obviously no point if the sky is cloudy. There's no point in me attempting to take part due to a high level of light pollution thanks to street lights and a nearby house who heep their downstairs lights on all night and don't use curtains.

I think anyone in England, Scotland and Wales can submit their numbers.

Evening all

No rain today, just very chilly.

I hope you’ve all had a good day.

Fankoo and I’m pleased to hear it

BTW Moonie, Mr Y jokingly asked me if I’d like a bet on the result of the rugby and I refused. I wish I’d bet him a tenner now. 🙈😂

It’s the first time Scotland have beaten England at Twickenham since 1983

🤔 I wouldn’t have bet on Scotland winning either so you aren’t on your own

brilliant EL -love stuff like this

Good morning everyone it's not too bad temperature wise, a cloudy and cold day ahead.  Stay warm everybody. I watched Oliver! yesterday, superlative performances from everyone in the cast, a real treat.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning everyone

Not warm here, but no snow or ice at this time.

Squiggle. I agree with your comments about Oliver!. Rather a different type of film for the director, Carol Reed. His earlier films include "The Third Man" and "Odd Man Out".

I hope everyone has a good day
