RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted February 11, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2017 Morning all. Greetings from snowy South Essex. There is the merest hint of snow still remaining on buildings. It has already disappeared from our lawn. Apart from taking Robbie somewhere I don't plan to venture anywhere else today. Tony 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted February 11, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2017 Today's agenda will involve a power drill and driver this morning, ......... Am I worried Maybe not but with the NHS in crisis (according to the Daily Wail) is this a good idea. Jamie 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 11, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2017 Morning all, The predicted overnight 'light snow' obviously fell judging by some roofs and cars but didn't settle elsewhere as it was obviously too warm (strange, it definitely felt bl**dy cold yesterday evening). I have told SWMBO that I will not be going to the Newbury show today - which got the response that 'I didn't know you were thinking of going to it'. So I duly explained that I wasn't thinking of going to it as I had been to the Alton show last weekend and will be going to Risex next weekend. I think I got away with it, probably. Have a good day one and all 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted February 11, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2017 Morning all from Estuary-Land. A dusting of snow this morning and a little bit more to come its started snowing again, but according to the forecast it should warm up by midweek. Apart from going to get the papers its a good day to stay indoors. Thats it for now, be back later. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BoD Posted February 11, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2017 No snow here but it is raining. Where we live on the North East coast we don't often suffer with lots of snow yet there may well be a good covering a couple of miles along the coast or even a few hundred yards inland. Perhaps our ancestors who built here knew a thing or two even without this interwebby thing. Having said that, on the rare occasion weather conditions contrive against us, we don't half get it. Fortunately this only happens once every few years. I remember one year the school was closed because of atrocious conditions (not the feeble few cm excuse often used these days) but the head had to send photographs to County Hall a few miles inland because they had no snow and didn't believe us. Have a good day, whatever the weather is up to where you are. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted February 11, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2017 The snow here is starting to settle now. This is largely due to the northeasterly wind direction which fortunately is quite rare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbishop Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Morning all. Shaved and bathed. The knee is improving but exercise today will be limited to buying the Grauniad and collecting beers from the kitchen. Yes, I have one bottle of Brain's left! To be drunk in celebration? I need to complete my translation of the instructions for Teutonic lump sitting on the table beside me. The post has just arrived - March Backtrack and £50 of premium bonds - so the walk to the paper shop will be extended to the pillar box. There is white stuff coming down but not settling. Have a good day if you're Welsh. Bill Edited February 11, 2017 by bbishop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted February 11, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2017 Good morning all, Slightly damp & cold outside. There was a hint of the white stuff last night and there is another very faint hint at the moment but it's not settling. Today's agenda will involve a power drill and driver this morning, possibly some muddling and if I survive that there is much rugby to watch later today. I warmed up last night with a great game between Bath & Northampton. Am I worried about the trip to Wales? Hmmm - I'm always worried about a trip there. Have a good one, Bob. As long as you obey the sign SLOW ARAF, you will be fine, as the Arafs will leave you alone. They are reclusive and pretty harmless unless you upset them.

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted February 11, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 11, 2017 I thought that the Arafs were still in hibernation? Not when Wales are playing rugby! The whispers start in late January and all Araf west of Offa's Dyke awake from their slumber, stock up on various Welsh beers and spirits,eat copious amounts of lava bread, bara brith and cawl, then eagerly await the upcoming matches. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you're closer to Offa's linear erection than we are you're probably right. Or is just that the Arafs spread false rumours about their emergence from hibernation on this side of the Severn, just to confuse us? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted February 11, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2017 Good afternoon everyone Late on parade today, we had a lie in this morning. We must have needed it after yesterday's visit. As we are expecting No2 son and his fiancé round here for tea tonight, my first job this morning was to prepare the spices for the curry, chicken korma is on the menu and the kitchen smells rather nice at the moment. The chicken has been marinading in the fridge overnight, so from mid afternoon I'll be busy in the kitchen. My next task is to re-hang some pictures, which were taken down prior to the decorating which was done last summer. Sheila has been undecided about whether they should go back up or not since then, morning she made her mind up. Back later. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Horsetan Posted February 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Nothing. Not a penny to be found under the floorboards! 'Tis the fireplace I'd be thinkin' of strippin' to see if yer man was after hidin' his money behind tha'. I got my late client's friend to do another search of the house. She found about £1300 in cash stuffed into an armchair. We also realised that he had pension payments due to him before his death, totalling about £3000. He hadn't drawn the money. I've come to the conclusion that my late client was a bit of a squirrel. However we can now pay for him to go home to Ireland on Monday.

BlackRat Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Weather says yes for riding...... A combo of Gabapentin, Tramadol, Valium and Naproxen says no. However, operating the layout is great as for once, I don't have to pretend the little people are talking to me....... They actually ARE! Roll on the op.......
