Morning Gill,Mel and all,
Lovely blue sky here with bright sunshine, it rained in the night so everywhere is wet.
Oh snow is about then Gill shame it's wet out so it won't lay ,not a good day for doing a roof .
Hope Rose gets on ok will be thinking about her and you Frank on your own ,you behave ,with your tele and book you don't need to move far ,hope you can get the water and heating sorted today .
Shopping day again for you then Mel they keep coming round .
I wondered how Ann got on yesterday too, hope the news is good so she can have some thing done with her knee to help the pain.
Better get some jobs done this morning and I'm having my hair cut later .

Morning Gill and all,
Dull and dreary here today so nothing new....... It poured last nigh so the grounds all wet again and the chickens will be paddling.
Hope Ros gets on ok today and I shall be thinking of her all day till we hear how she's got on.
Perhaps we wil also hear from Ann today and how she faired with her knee yesterday at the assesment.
Donkey day yet again. I don't know where the weeks are going and we are nearly through January already.

It's just started snowing, it's not heavy enough to wake Sandra up and it's to wet out there for it the lay, so I'll leave her asleep for now. The roofer has turned up, not sure how much work he's going to get done in this weather though.

Morning all
Cold but dry so far today, although there is rain forecast for later with possible snow flurries.
Good luck to Ros hope everything goes well this morning. Thinking of her. Be careful Frank while she's out. Hope you had a better nights sleep last night.
How did your knee assessment go Ann? I hope it went well and you are okay.
Is Chris any better today Jane. It looks like it might go on for a while like it did with you. Hope he's feeling a little better today.
Have your girls laid anymore eggs Mel? How are they getting on with the others? It sounds like you're busy crafting again. I'd love to see some pictures when you've finished.
The roofer is suppose to be here today so I hope the weather isn't to bad so he can get on with the job. He told OH yesterday that he has lots of arguments with the boss (I'm not surprised) and if the boss has another go at him then he won't do the job. If that happens I don't know how long it'll take to have the roof done.
OH got up early to park the car on the road and so far no workmen have turned up. Yesterday there were workmen everywhere at 7.30. I hope at least the roofer turns up.
Nothing much planned for today, what is everyone else up to?

It's pouring with rain here to Mel, just off to bed now, both OH and I are shattered with being awake all night last night then only have 4 to 5 hours sleep during the day today.
NO Frank no going up in the loft. I hope you get your heating and hot water sorted soon.
Sandra didn't want to be outside to see the moon last night Jane as it was very cold, plus it didn't really start until 3.30am so she was well asleep by then. We started watching around 2.30 but couldn't see anything happening until an hour later when we saw a bit of the earth's shadow going over the moon.
When the clouds came over for 20 minutes we both went inside to get warm, then we were back outside to watch the rest of it. I'll never forget it. I've always wanted to see an eclipse and haven't been lucky enough to see one properly during daylight hours even though we went to Cornwall 20 years ago, as it's always been to cloudy, so last night was brilliant and I can now say I've seen an eclipse even if it was a lunar one not a solar eclipse.
Well, I'm off to bed now, see you all tomorrow

No call from the plumber, so I will try to find a local one tomorrow, who can come and sort it out. No hot water or Central heating at the moment. Might just need the boiler to be restarted. I can't and won't get up in the loft to see. PROMISE.
Had a small meal tonight roast beef and trimmings, Ros not impressed with what I ate.
Will soon be in bed, as I feel tired and in a bit of pain with my ribs.

Evening All
We all had a lovely weekend ,the Christmas Dinner was a success although I thought the Turkey was a tad dry. We pulled our crackers and wore our hats. Gareth kept his on for ages. Chris was still rather quiet and not really joining in with everything and was i nbed by 7.30 on Sat. But at least he made the dinner :-D. He is yawning now so I can see him eating very soon and then disappearing up the stairs.
Frank I hope all goes well for Ros Tomorrow. At least it will be done at last. You just be a good boy and dont get into any trouble when you are on your own :-D :-D
Gill, you were so lucky to see the whole Moon thing. No such luck here. It was far too cloudy .It is a pity Sandra didnt witness this spectacular moment .She would have been amazed.
Mel your new girls look lovely and in really good condition . I hope the eggs don't dry up .But if they do then fingers crossed it wont be too long before they start laying again. I am not sure what that little Puppy is with Philip Shcofield . It could be a Cocker Poo but it is so young its a bit difficult to tell. Whatever it is it is a real cutie :-D :-D
How did it go today Ann with your Knee Assessment?
I know I must have missed lots of posts over the last coupe of days so am sorry if I haven't commented on all.
Thomas was out ALL night last night. It must have been to do with that moon :-D. I did wake up at 1.20 am and me being stupid got up and went out to see if he was waiting to come in.I think James let him in this morning .
Quick curry tonight . Nothing fancy.

Good luck to Ros for tomorrow Frank, that's an early time, does it take long to do? I'm sure you'll be okay on your own if you take it easy and it's nice to know you have Pam next door if you need anything. I love the little puppy on the advert to. Did you see him with the kitten not so long back, that was cute as well? Hope you get your hot water back soon. Could it be the water to water heat exchanger, you might need a new one? Do you know anyone who could take a look at it for you?
What a shame you couldn't see the moon with all the cloud Mandy. I sometimes think the sun looks like the moon when the fog or light clouds are around, it does look strange doesn't it.
I've recorded a film Sandra wants to watch so I'd better go and press play, we've had it on pause for 5 minutes.

Afternoon all
Not long woken up after staying up all night, so I haven't caught up with the posts yet.
We were watching the SUPER WOLF BLOOD MOON AND THE LUNAR ECLIPSE.
OH and I watched the whole thing from start to finish. It was AMAZING, the only time we couldn't see it properly, as the cloud was a bit to thick, was just before totality but after about 20 minutes the clouds moved away to reveal a dark red moon. We watched it until it went down when the moon was very big and bright yellow, the same as when it was rising and slowly moved down out of view. At the same time the sun was coming up and the birds were singing the dawn chorus.
What a beautiful ending to a wonderful, magical night and something OH and I will never forget. <3 <3 <3

LOL Mel, I think Tony next door would play any wind instrument, HE'S FULL OF WIND.
Just had a call from the Drs. She is going to leave out some stuff to stimulate my bowel movements, and some suppositories (SO STAND BY) lol. Eos can pick them up tea time today.
Ros is out collecting Lewis from Luton Airport. Harvey says he has a touch of food poisoning, and is staying in bed, so I expect Ros will get him and Lewis some lunch before coming home.
I thought the little puppy was a cocker spaniel cross. If I had it, I wouldn't want it to grow up. ;-) ;-) ;-)
I expect I will get an "ear full" when Ros gets home. I have put out the Blue Bin and waste food container. Adam the post told me to get back in doors, I should have texted him and he would have down it as he walk passed. Easier said than done, I CAN'T TEXT.
Lewis has just landed and is looking out for Ros. I told him to ring her mobile and she will drive round to pick him up. She is parked up close by, and will only take a few minutes to get to him.
For some reason the Central heating is working perfectly but we don't seem to be getting hot water. I hope we haven't got a problem.
I think I will warm up a tim of soup for lunch, then watch a bit of NAT. GEO.

Good morning Mandy, Mel. and all.
Ros has just had a call from the hospital, to say they have a free appointment for her to have "ANGIO PLASMA" carried out tomorrow at 7.45 am. Carolyn will take her and bring her home again. She is going be there most of the day. Ros will have to ring Carolyn when she is able to come home. So I will have to cope on my own. If I need anything I will ring Pam next door.
Was in bed by 8.20 last night. dropped off for a hour or so, then the pain in my ribs started again. Was still awake when Ros came in at mid-night. Clock watched and dozed the night away. Was up by 7.00, had my two COT and porridge for breakfast. Ros is busy doing our months tablets into our trays, then I will see if she will cover my dressing,(NOT DRESSING GOWN) lol lol so I can have a shower, and wash my hair. I always feel better after that.
We didn't eat last night. Just hard boiled egg sarnie's, with tomato smashed up in it. Lets hope I fancy a Roast tonight.
Do any of you know the breed of dog Phillip Schofield has in that advert. I must try to find out on Google. Just CURIOUS. What a beautiful little thing it is. NO I am not getting another DOG. !!!
Looks a right miserable day out there today. I can see I will be tucked up in my chair in the warm, for the day.
I must take my morning medication, I will be rattling with all these tablets I am taking. ;-) ;-) ;-). Ros takes even more than me, so we should start an EMUNDO ROSS band. (if you remember who he was )
See you all later. xxxx
