The snow has thawed a lot today although it's still been bitterly cold. It's raining now and forecast tomorrow morning too, no sub zero temperatures in the forecast tomorrow so hopefully the road and pavements won't freeze, they'll be like a skating rink if they do. Seems there's still a lot of snow over the west side of England and in Wales and pretty bad in Europe too. Also reports of a forthcoming storm, whatever next! I suppose it's to be expected in winter.

How wonderful to have your son visiting Caroline, I bet you'll be crying buckets when you see him! And then your half brother too, it's going to be a very emotional time for you.  :)

Why do we still have the Santa emojis, should have been taken down with the Christmas decorations!

The snow here was thawing well yesterday in the sunshine but a load more has tipped down overnight, more than there was originally. I'm in hibernation, doing jobs around the house including things like sorting out drawers, it's a bit like when we were in lockdown!

Just checked, the Reply button is above the posts rather than at the bottom.

I'm fine thanks Mark. Looking forward to the spring bulbs flowering in my garden, amazing that Gillg has them in bud already but she's a long way further south of of course.

Well done on getting all the bedding changed, a nice fresh start to the New Year. :)

Thanks Mark, it didn't cause me any anxiety. I know that cloud seeding goes on in the world, although I seem to remember it caused quite a catastrophe, but I don't believe it goes on in the UK.

I don't think it was silver iodide, although I've never heard of it either. I was just avoiding the 'S' word - sleet!  :D
I'm a bit puzzled about why the government would want to make it rain, it's done nothing but rain here lately! I'm assuming that the cloud and rain is due to one thing  - it's winter!
 Same weather as you today RTL, a hard frost overnight but at least we don't have that freezing wind coming off the sea today.

Good to see you posting again RTL, I hope your grandson continues to improve. I'm sorry to hear you're sleeping so badly, it's difficult to function properly when you haven't slept, I can't imagine how you manage to get through the days at work. The government doesn't seem to take account when they're raising the pension age, of people who are doing jobs like yours.
Very best wishes for the new year.

I received something similar but I no longer have a paid subscription, I've no idea whether the numbers are correct. They certainly seem to have screwed up on yours!
