DDolfelin Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 SWMBO has taken it upon herself to be a stand in for the Meals On Wheels folk who couldn't make it to the village today. She has made an enormous pan (I think it's a Marmalade Pan) of Beef Stew and has taken it around on foot to the old folk who missed their lunch. I've had some and it's delicious. As there is half of it left, I think I might be tired of it after a day or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BoD Posted January 6, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 6, 2010 Well done Mrs DD. It's good to see community spirit and people pulling together when needs must. I bet Sam is feeling a bit chilly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Morning All, It was a bit of a shock to the system this morning to get up at the crack of dawn and head into the office! We have had a light dusting of new snow overnight to add to the Wintery theme. Apparently there is going to be even more snow at the weekend - but we'll have to see if that comes to pass. Have a good day everyone :icon_wave: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I've joined the Union of Meals on Wheels Pack Horses. The main problem, while understandable that MoW people couldn't reach our village, was that there was no communication of the fact. Consequently, it's possible that some old person in an outlying area didn't get anything to eat yesterday. Pleased to see the Gritters have reached RMWeb. A weary day of batting today for the draw.

DonBradley Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I don't know if it's the snow, but I have had a hard time getting into RMweb. Just got timed out for the first two hours and then again having got in, and again in navigating about the place. Anyway, Here I am. Ready for anothers day of cricket? Well done Dd and Mrs Dd! :icon_thumbsup2: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted January 7, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2010 Morning... :icon_yawn: Yeah, the forecast over here was talking about lots of additional snow and possibly strong wind from this weekend onwards - should be interesting to observe how this turns out. Last day of our vacation today...wonder how I'll be spending it. Suitcase will be packed in the evening, I guess! Have a good 'un! :icon_thumbsup2: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted January 7, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2010 Morning all cold and icy here with a temperature below zero I am not convinced by local radio's claim of -14.5 C but it is cold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 It's O.K. We heard you the first time. Welcome in from the cold! Is that your teeth I hear chattering? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium skipepsi Posted January 7, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2010 I think it must be the shivers or the slowness of RMWEB this morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixoh8sixoh Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Morning all, still cold and dark here! Busy day today, Stage 1 Debate on the Public Services Reform (Scotland) Bill, so I'm going to spend the day watching that, and hoping that no MSPs ask any awkward questions about my policy area that I'll need to find answers on by yesterday!

DonBradley Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 If you mean the last version of RMweb, it is now read only, but should still be accessable. I think Rick had the honour of the last posting to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium martin_wynne Posted January 7, 2010 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 7, 2010 Is RMWeb archive frozen up? Hi Dd, It's been offline for over 24 hours. Part of the current RMweb troubles. Andy is working on it. http://www.rmweb.co.uk/forum/ However, image links are still working: regards, Martin.

DDolfelin Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Thanks, Martin. Your link is inactive (for me) but no problem - I'll wait until the gritter has been. That's some job you've done on the Transfer facility. Pity I'm on Safari. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted January 7, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hello. I've just got back from taking Matthew to college. The trip there was uneventful but then it started snowing. Fresh snow on -4 C roads was interesting but sensible driving prevailed until someone joined the traffic behind me and had no idea at all about how to drive or why everyone else was being cautious. Fortunately when she decided to overtake there was a handy (and empty) side-road to continue her sideways movement into. Tony Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted January 7, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2010 I cycled in yesterday in the snow and returned in a blizzard! I left at 11am because I feared I would be stuck there! Not much luck today either. The road out of the village is sheer ice and I said I would not cycle in and risk my life sliding down the hill onto the main road! The car drivers door wont open and the battery is dead so there's no chance of getting into college that way either. Looks like i'll be 'working from home' today. I think everyone was impressed I made it in yesterday - even people half a mile from the college didn't go in! Currently though it is very sunny, in fact, sitting indoors with the sun on you it gets quite warm. Still -7 outside though so little risk of the snow melting yet. Please take the RAC's advice and don't travel unless it is necessary and stick to the main roads the whole time! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 "stick to the main roads the whole time!" Most people are stuck to their drives around here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Tell your Dad you need either snow-shoes or skiis (maybe both) snow-shoes as a backup to the skiis. Possibly people who stuck to the main roads are now stuck to the main roads, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted January 7, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2010 I need some kind of snowmobile I think! I think you're right about being stuck to main roads. Lots of stories about people abandoning their cars on the motorways and A roads yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDMJ Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Morning all, Most people are stuck to their drives around here. I rather hope that you'd be stuck indoors - it's a bit warmer than on the drive. I was investigating snow shoes and found this link - snow chains for ordinary shoes. http://www.icegrips.co.uk/index.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted January 7, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 7, 2010 John, is it just me, or on that link, is that someone wearing ice grips with stilettos?! Seems to defeat the object really... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
