She is ok and said about an hour ago that she was just about to post on here.

I will do that tomorrow. My brain hurts a bit with understanding W11 and a new machine. It is also complicated because (much to my gratitude) I have a long list of all the folders that have been recovered from the dead hard drive. Dom is so good, that was a long programme to run. During which time he re-set the fuse in the garage and changed the bathroom light bulb. I have not found anything yet that is important that has not been retrieved. I am sure there are some things but not many. Even all my photos are there. Because there is a difference in between W10 and W11 in some of the things and a slight difference between Microsoft office and Libra Office layout I have to think hard as to where to put them all. I shall have fun sorting it all out. Finished on there for today though.

So do I as I was thinking of her yesterday and thought they may have had hospital appointments of the dentist I can't remember if he had had his tooth out or not.

I really need to cut my nails as I keep catching them on other keys.

No shoppig yet or the postman to pick up a little parcel and a card. When I need them to come early they never do and when I don't they come early. sods law I suppose.

We didn’t hear from Ann yesterday. Was she planning anything? Hope all is ok there.

Dom I’d here at the moment. I will hopefully be able to get him to reset the fuse before he goes if I have not heard from the garage door people.

Pc is going in quite quickly.

11 degrees and its raining.

Morning Ann and all,

Poor you if its not one thing its another. You do seem to be having a run of bad luck at the moment. Hope it is someting to do with the garage door being fitted so that it can be rectified quickly.

No frost this morning as far as I could see but I think there may have bee a little rain as it all looks wet out there.

I have the postman coming for another little parcel today and the shopping is coming this morning too.

Good morning all.

8 degrees and dark outside I need it to brighten up as when I switched the bathroom light on it fused so I have no overhead lighting.
I have separate fuses for overhead and sockets. Confused by the fact that lounge wall lights are off the overhead fuse..
I can’t be sure that what the lads did yesterday has not affected my lights as they rigged a temp measure up until the electrician can get here. Fuse boxes are in the garage.. have to wait until he comes. Garage door opens ok I have checked,

You can do more than I coulkd if I had a new one as I hav'nt a clue what to do in that situation.

I have just tried to light a bonfire again without any luck. The twigs and branches are just too wet. Now I stink so think I will go in the shower now.

Yes sunny and 10 degrees here too. Although this morning when I walked to Irene’s with a bag full of CDs it was a heavy mist like rain. You couldn’t see it but my hair was wer. It was not cold though.
But the job is not actually finished yet. It is usable but the electrician has to come and finish the job. Still it is nit paid for yet either. No invoice yet.

And Dom is coming tomorrow to install my new PC. Mixed feelings. Good to get it but a lot of work ahead of me to get it up and running.

That was'nt bad for fitting a whole new door.

Thanks Mandy I will put some in the freezer.

I have just been attemptng to take down the old little greenhouse on the decking. I have got the pots out of it and taken down the old to,m plants and some of the metal work but need the srewdriver to take some screws out holding it against the top decking rail. Came in as I am hungry.

Its 10 degrees here now positively hot compared to what we have been having. Even the koi are swimming about a bit today.

The door is finished and looks good, well worth the money I think very solid. I was wondering what happened in a power cut but, problem solved as there are two emergency keys.. two fairly young men putting it in but the electrician was called away so the electrics are on a temporary plug and socket. I have to wait for an email to tell me when he is coming. Bit of a nuisance but couldn’t be helped. It took them two and a half hours to do it.

Mel you can freeze the pancakes for up to three months I had a Google, just need parchment paper between each one so they don't stick together .

Gwyn was it a Sunday lunch you had ,we were going to have roast beef yesterday but we changed our mind and were having it today instead .

Good morning all.
No frost for us lately, so I was surprised to see thin broken ice in a puddle, when we went out for lunch yesterday on the outskirts of another town
We have beautiful sunshine, but laptop is telling me it's 1 degree :-0

Thank you for the photos Mel. Well done for persevering. I'm sure the birds will enjoy your rejects ;-)
Mum would sometimes make dropped scones for Sunday tea. She made them on her well-seasoned cast-iron Welsh bakestone, which she also used for Welsh cakes.
I haven't made either for years. Lemon curd sounds a good addition. :-D

I hope the doors get fixed early Ann. You are certainly busy with all your jobs lately.

Morning girls,

Don't know if there was a frost as I did'nt wake till 9am and lay there for 20 mins watching the rainbows on the walls from my crystal hanging in the window. It looked frosty last night as the fish tank on the edge of oh's pond was frosen.

Pc is telling me there's going to be a cooling trend over the next five days. Its 8 degrees sunshine and blue sky.

Morning all,

Frost is beginning to lift ,it was very white again, lots of cloud so no chance of any sun today .

Hooe Vera has a nice couple of days with her granddaughter and her boyfriend.

Good morning all. Up early to be ready for the garage door tea. Should be 8 to9 but I bet now I am up it will be 9.
Not a good nights sleep as I expected with the alarm set.

5 degrees here and still very dark. I don’t think it is raining.

The last pic was of the right recipe and I have had some of those for tea with butter and lemon curd. The big one is the wrong mixture and should last the birds about 4 days. I'll let you know.

Have a lovely couple of days with your granddaughter Vera and it will be nie to finally meet him. We won't worry now we know it may be a couple of days before we hear from you again. Have a wonderful time. <3

I am now going to watch Miss Austin and Call the Midwife.

Night night all see you in the morning.

I hope you have an enjoyable time with your Granddaughter and her boyfriend Vera. It will be interesting to meet him for the first time.

Mel I thought your pancakes still looked edible if not the right taste! The birds won't mind their offering and I'm glad I'm not the only one to have 'disasters' like that.

That sure is a large pancake Mel.
Vera enjoy your special time with Granddaughter and her boyfriend. I hope all goes well for you.

Another quick post from me. I don’t know where the day has gone. I have been trying to do 3 days work in one as I want to spend my time with granddaughter while she’s here and not be doing other things. I haven’t seen F for well over a year and have never met the boyfriend even though they have been together for over 3 years. The first time we were due to meet he had to suddenly fly home to his family in Ireland and last time we were to meet up my OH went down with a bout of food poisoning so we’re all hoping it’s third time lucky.

We woke to a very heavy frost this morning which took a long while to clear. It has been a lovely sunny day but pretty cold. At the moment the BBC weather app says it’s 0 degrees and going down overnight to -3. The app that is on my Apple iPad says it’s 3 degrees and going down to -1. I wonder why the difference.

I probably won’t be posting tomorrow and maybe not on Tuesday so I hope you all have good days with garage door fitting and medical issues
