What are you all up to

 , No snow at all here in East Kent,just cold ,bright & breezy.

 Hi hope you enjoy the new car KjellNN 

New springs and shockers feel good on the 11.5 year old X-Trail. Almost tempted to get the rear done!

New tyre Yesterday Dunlop ST20 Grandtrek 2.5/160 R17 was £110 which I felt was fine. 

I shan't answer that Malcolm 

What a wild night that was, wind really strong and gusting. It snowed again overnight but not much.

Up early doors this morning to take OH into Perth for his journey to Aberdeen, he decided to take the train rather than the mega bus just in case the roads were bad first thing.

Lovely and sunny now and the wind has dropped, hope everyone out and about is safe and those in flood warning areas are safe.

More clearing out of my craft room today should get a good run at it now OH is occupied for most of the day 

Pleased to hear you are making the most of your holidays Malcolm, they are always too short. 

A feeble smattering of snow in south Cumbria - already disappearing.

Our caravan has been on the move today - but only from the paddock behind the house to an indoor store. Now that we've used the silage in our smallest pit, it has reverted to a machinery (and caravan) shed.

Nothing really, but keeping mind and body active does help.

When away on holiday (mainly in the caravan) we do quite a bit of walking while sight seeing and visiting NT etc properties, but we are not into hillwalking otherwise..

More difficult in winter when at home to get enough exercise, but we find making a point of going out to the shops regularly for a wander around keeps us moving, in fact visiting indoor centres in winter was suggested by my surgeon as a good way of exercising after my heart surgery.

Having a house to look after also exercises both body and mind, in fact I get called on to do little jobs for the rest of the family too. Caravan chores will keep you tootling about quite a bit I would have thought?

Then I have my various hobbies such as wood turning to occupy my mind, and in the evenings I do a couple of Sudokus or other puzzles, the brain is very much "use it or lose it" I believe.

We also have our 2 grandchildren to play with now and again, I do not think they really understand about people being/getting old as yet.

Not sure how being 75 is meant to feel, in my head I think I am only 25, so it is best not to dwell on it too much and rather enjoy life as much as possible!

Hope you get the car fixed for far less than the "worst case scenario".

Once we got our Smart, it was tempting to use it most of the time, but we found that leaving the big car unused for too long was bad as brakes/discs can start rusting and seizing up. We therefor made a point of using it for one "expedition" every week.

We seem to have avoided the atrong winds, and today it is totally still here. 

Snow stopped later in the evening, so we do not have much on the ground now.

Some sun earlier, but  clouding over again now.

Sunny spells in Sherwood Forest but biting cold wind and resorted to a car to shop in the village as its uphill coming back. I'm with KJ when it comes to keeping active to stave off advancing years, however, there's only so much the body can take, today we gave in (will visit the gym later)
