Done

Took the car to the garage, have left it there, we are going to have to make an effort and go for a run at least once a week to keep the battery charged up.

It had rained in the night, no snow left, but it's blooming cold. Forecast is for heavy snow tomorrow..

A reasonable night, yesterday was a bad day for me, so quite pleased I slept OK.

I had some salad left in the crisper drawer so we are having salad tonight. I bought pears the last time I was out, so we will gave one each tonight. I has also made soup with leftovers in the fridge and liquor from cooking the gammon, it was very good, there is enough for tomorrow's lunch left, will cook a part baked baguette to have with it.

Yawn.........

Feeling very tired today. I have been out, needed to post a card to DB'S sister, the snow is still here, but does seem to be melting.

Not a happy bunny, I had to get DB up, guess the carers are having trouble on the roads, many of the country lanes are like a skating rink. When I went to go out in the car a message came up the battery needs charging! I now have to find somewhere that will charge the battery without taking it out. If its taken out the computer needs to be re set.......

Egg and chips tonight, I have stock to make soup for lunch tomorrow, supper will be mince and tatties. We have finished the mince pies, will have to find something for dessert tomorrow.

More snow

over night, enough to cover the ground and it is still below freezing. Busy morning, carer was late, understandable, Hairdresser came early and M Came to collect the laundry........

Cooked a gammon joint in the Ninja, put leeks in as well as carrot and onion, will make leek and potato soup for tomorrows lunch.

Sun is out, it is helping to heat the sitting room, although I have had to close one curtain, DB cannot see the TV.

He had a bad day yesterday, better this morning, beard shaved off, hair cut, I have had my haircut as well. E. very kindly does it for us, she has two cancelattions so came early which was good.

Sausage and mash with veggies tonight, using up the last of the veg from Christmas, I lft a long stalk on the calebrease and stood it in a glass of water in the fridge, it has kept really well. We will have a couple of mince pies for dessert.

Brrrr

very cold day, has not reached no freezing all day at the moment it is -1, we are forecast snow from tonight into tomorrow morning. The carer said the roads were horrendous, none of the side roads had been gritted nor had the bus route.

DB had quite a long AS this morning, he has slept until lunch time and then for a couple of hours after. He is awake at the moment. 

Supper tonight roast pork and veggies, DB will have a banana and ice cream for dessert. I am not having any, have eaten too much chocolate over the holiday.......need to slow down a bit.

Bed changed yesterday ironing is ready for collection tomorrow morning, will put another load of washing in to do over night tomorrow.

Another brrrrr

No fresh snow but some of the bungalows still have snow on the roof.

I did go,out to the car to take the shopping bags out, it was freezing, although the sun was shining.

DB has watched a few films on TV over the last couple of days, yesterday he watched Ben Hur..........today, The eagle has landed.

 I have spent most of the day reading, my knees have been a bit of a problem since it got so cold, have resorted to some Ibrufen gel. Last night they woke me doing a fandango, it's ages since that happened. It is 12 months at the end of this month since I broke my left leg............ my goodness a lot can happen in a year. I never expected DB to deteriorate as he has done.

Ding supper tonight, sweet and sour chicken with rice. 

I have roast pork for tomorrow.

Brrrrrr

We woke this morning to snow, just a light covering, but enough to cause several crashes on the A46 and M1.

The temperature went up during the morning, most of the snow has now disappeared.

A very slow day, there is no real purpose in life just now, it's the same routine day after day, gets very boring.

Supper tonight, fish and chips, home cooked, various things available for dessert, depends what DB feels like.

Happy New Year.
