I thought you had a buyer for the business, HD? Is it worth getting another van?

I AM SULKING  !!

Well  been  sat  'ere  grafting,  grafting,  grafting  when  the  CD stopped,  I  looked  at  it  &  saw,  thro  the  window  behind,  it  has  started  snowing  frown.  Falling  vertically,  so  probably  more  sleety  than  snowy,  but  I  HATE  IT.

Think  I'll  go  &  draw  the  blinds  to keep  the  sight  of  it  elsewhere  !!

Grey, cold, frosty morning turned into a lovely sunny bright (still cold) afternoon. We had a brief flurry of snow.

Went for my back and shoulder massage after lunch, nice.

Did a bit more sorting out of clothes ready for packing in a day or two. Got a few bits of toiletries to buy but that's all.

OH went to his Men's shed this morning, donating lots of lengths and bits of wood we no longer need, the men at the shed will make them into boot pulls, bird tables, bird boxes etc. Now they have their own premises its not just the one morning a week but 2 full days if they want to stay that long. Tools and other bits and pieces are still getting donated and they are increasing in numbers now that word has got around.

Quite a bit of snow here today, roads were treacherous and ungritted by the feel of things.  Took us 40 minutes to make the usual 15 minute journey to DD's house.  Plenty of drivers acting like idiots.

She had planned to take a couple of her budgies to the specialist vet, which involves a bit of a trek to the other side of town, but was persuaded to rearrange it for tomorrow.

Good progress at the house, bath is now installed, just water and waste still to connect as that involves me going under the floor, not pleasant at the best of times, but especially undesirable when it is freezing outside!

Basin and vanity unit also installed, just need a few bits to connect it up.  DD has been working on cleaning up the shower area, so she now needs to do some grout repairs and a lot of sealant application.  They will replace the shower area eventually, but meantime just need it to be functional and watertight.

Hopefully the bathroom will be finished, meantime, by the end of the week, it certainly looks very good.

Have a good trip JVB, hopefully it will help restore a bit of Rosa’s confidence. You seem so calm about it, I wouldn’t have been.

Thick ground frost here, ponds iced over. Bitterly cold. Just about to clip OH’s noodle, if he keeps still. Hat required for later.

We have a furniture company coming out today to see if the furniture we have ordered can actually be brought into house. Should be fun. Then hopefully of to see SIL, as it’s her birthday today.

Tooth I had filled last week is still niggling. Could be make or break today, once I get outside, this frosty weather will let me know if it goes or stays.
