Morning everyone..It's a new week...11/08/2014

First topic message reminder :

Good morning all from a frosty but bright morning
It's showing the blizzard in California with snow and now floods, soil banks on the edge of a road being washed away with a campervan and a large tree falling into a flooded river
Kitchen's open kettles on

Good morning all from Atherstone it's a bright morning here with still some snow on the grass
So Vicky are you and Choccy going to do the match of the day report for the BBC as it looks like the regulars are standing down due to what Gary Lineker,seems some people can say something but not Gary ,
Vicky have you been to this Garden centre,I think it's Mile Oak
Breakfast and it's cornflakes and warm milk coffee tea and a large lemon and lime for later

I had chicken & pineapple salad for lunch.     David had egg, chips and peas,  so it was just  bread rolls with ham  and a cake tonight.

You're right about trees and greenery. Bond. you'll have a good time though.

Good evening all,as you say what a change in the day , ended up rolling down the blinds to blot out the bright sunlight ,just some snow on the grass
So is this the end of the snow for us now ,?
The stake and ale pie was lovely a few chips mushy peas and onion gravy,
So it's sit down with Death in Paradise
Grangewood garden centre and restaurant Tamworth have a look on Google,booked in for Sunday lunch, trees and greenery

Funny weather here.
We in this half of the state will be going from an atmospheric river,
to a Pineapple express! 
The pineapple express will be a warm front so
only rain. It comes from a more southern latitude.

The Jet stream is fueling the atmospheric river 
which is cold so that will produce more snow. 

It is only a fine rain at the moment here.  
Its moving slower than expected.
It's been over a month since I turned off my sprinklers! 
there are wind warnings in exposed places like the desert.
Get your vehicle sandblasted for free!
The tumbleweed will be blowing all over the place! 
It's the dry creeks that will suddenly turn into rushing rivers
that are dangerous, thank goodness they are nowhere near me.

11:19:55
Back from the chiropractor, he's going to send me some 
exercises to do via my  ,told him I'm still getting 
discomfort in my hip area both sides ,so he said its good the pain 
has moved from the outside of each leg ,also asked how I slept 
,on my side back etc ,well I sleep on my side one then the other 
as I toss and turn ,but have one of those small pillows on take 
on a  ,that I tend to lie on ,so he said to use my regular pillows 
as well as I may be twisting my next too much   
so ill try it and see what happens

Still dry here but its looking hazy not the clear blue skies we had yesterday
supposed to start with first rain then turning to all snow later tonight 

Hungry now as its almost lunch time   what's cooking with you all ??

Well what a difference a couple of hours make this morning the snow was coming down fast but this afternoon the snows on the grass but roads and pavements totally clear, in fact the  is out and it's warm.....went and bought Laura and Katy birthday cards.....Laura an 18th one.

I'm off to do some reading on my Kindle..

Susan's hoping tomorrow is going to be snow free, she's coming up here to Birmingham to go and watch a play with Rachael as she did the other week when she'd bought Rachael tickets to go and watch the ballet.

Hi Carole,the snow had stopped when I walked into town still cold and the path's were slippy but it was good to get out
Just for bread and milk , balloons for when Emmett comes again he loves a balloon,called into the butchers for a couple of made by themselves steak and ale
Pies for tonight with mushy peas and a few chips
I cleaned the drive before I took my big boots off so that's it for the day ,got my lounge joggers on and my book with a mug of coffee that's it for the afternoon

04:43:12
Morning
Well guess it depends on where in Atherstone you are Bond
as my weather report is saying you have a 40% chance of
snow around noon/1pm today ,Saturday more rain/snow showers 90%
Sunday scattered showers 80% but it looks like some sort of
presip ALL the way until SUNDAY Mar 19th
So you may need MORE than your top coat and boots

My sister said she just bought new "wellies" for when they walk
Henry as they go down the park and I guess it gets muddy

Here our weatherman is telling us that MY side of Connecticut will be getting
the MOST  starting tonight into Saturday morning so guess
I will not be  shopping Saturday morning
He just put the snow fall up only 1 to 4ins here in Bridgeport 6ins
inland so that's not too bad  

They are celebrating St Patricks day in the next large town over from us
New Haven on Sunday {St Patricks day is Friday 17thth} a BIG parade
there as a lot of Irish immigrants settled there years ago ,but its saying
the weather will be OK for the occasion before the Nor'Easter arrives
Monday which should be mostly  and WIND  
So it looks like Old man winter is TRYING to catch us up

Chiropractor again today every Monday and Friday don't know for how long
yet so looks like I may squeeze the two appointments in

Anyway hope the ladies had a good night
You watch how you go Bond

Saw this on Face Book from one of my old salesmen from U.S.Baird Corp  


A little imagination always helps, but your wording is the key.
In Catholic schools students are taught that lying is a sin. Instructors are also advised that a bit of imagination is OK to express the truth differently without lying. This is a perfect example of this teaching:
An attractive young woman on a flight from Ireland asked the priest beside her, Father, may I ask a favor of you? Of course my child. What can I do for you?
I bought my mother an expensive hair dryer for her birthday. It is unopened, but well over the customs limits and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it Is there any way you could carry it through customs for me? Could you possibly hide it under your robes for me?
I would love to help you my dear; but, I must warn you, I will not lie!
With your honest face, Father, I'm sure no one will question you!
When they got to customs, she let the priest go first. The official asked, "Father, do you have anything to declare?"
"From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare."
The official thought this answer a little strange, so he asked, "And what do you have to declare from your waist down to the floor?"
"I have a marvelous instrument that has been designed for use on women, but which, to date, remains unused."
Roaring with laughter, the official said, "Go ahead, Father.
Next, please!"  

Good morning all from a white Atherstone with fluffy snow falling so the black roads and paths
From last night that had the snow melted are now white over so the plans of going out may be changed and it's leave the car where it is and put the big cost and big boots on
So breakfast and it's cornflakes and warm milk coffee tea and a large lemon and lime for later
Stay safe folks stay cuddling

As for feeding the birds iv got a couple of cadge peanut bird feeders and this last time when I filled them I hung one in a different place and now one can be reached from a small twig and now a couple of black birds of found they can get to the nuts it's good watching them the a ball of snow fell on one of their heads looking as if he was wearing a white hat

I remember wondering why all the aristocrats , including our dear Royal family, going off to a warmer country in 1947, of course later I read about the terrible frost we'd had in 47.   Explained a lot.

I remember having frost on our bedroom windows.....my Gran used to light the lounge fire, the only fire we used to have a fire though we had fireplaces in all our rooms, apart from the kitchen that used to be warmed by the oven door being opened.  oh and we didn't have a fireplace in the box room or attic.  

Those were the days.




. .

Sorry to be late on parade , interupted sleep again. 
 
Coventry usually had snow that did not stick and it was 
always January.
I remember 1947,  as it was the year I got enrolled in school
for the first time. Frozen milk with the cream popping the silver top
up like a hat!  wet socks and shoes from playing in the snow on the 
way to school, all hung on the gigantic steam radiators in the classrooms.
It was so humid we were sweating with our coats on! 
Now I know what a Chinese laundry feels like! 

We had our dinners at our classroom desks as they all could not fit in the
 auditorium at the same time. (No going home for dinner those days)
Our play time was each class being given the freedom to run all up
and down the corridors for about 15 minutes to burn off some energy. 
It took until April until the last icicles melted and there were no more
frozen patches to slide on. 
(No child was going to get hurt while on school grounds) 

I was out in the wilds of Bedfordshire in 1963/64 and the
country roads did not get ploughed for three days, we were running out of
baby food so Peter walked across the airfield to the village to buy more. 
Again, same icicles and ice until April. Water pipes frozen even though
we did what the college told us. draining water out of pipes and putting
salt in toilets and sinks. Who decide to put unlagged water pipes outside!

Frost inside the windows and no heating up stairs, (fireplaces the size of
biscuit tins) Might never been swept for all we knew! 
Laundry hanging all -round the farm style kitchen on fishing line! 
Clothes horse in front of the only fireplace that worked. 
luckily there was an airing cupboard next to it.
A favorite place for big hairy spiders I found out!

We kept the wild birds fed with rinds off the bacon and 
some seeds and stale bread crusts. 
Melanie looked like a balloon in all her clothes and all-in-one
ski type suit. Pram would not work so used an old wooden sledge
we were given with the padded chair from the high chair strapped
to it. She was belted in by the harness from the pram. 
The high chair was old too as it was all held together with screws 
not glued. It folded down into a play set with wheels. 
All donated by nice neighbors. 
I could make it across the College playing field to use the student
laundry room and washing machines and dryers! 
Just room on the sledge for a laundry basket and the baby! 

The rain front here is due later today, so time to pop out to
top up cat food. I know I have enough for two or three more,
days. The main danger is flooding with streams and rivers,
bursting their banks. 
The huge drainage channels have never been filled to capacity.
but it is a swift water flow if you get caught in it! 

Its 58f and very   here at the moment. 

I had a present delivered yesterday from my childhood
friend and neighbor, Len. He is a hobbyist painter (Not on
your level bond)  but can copy a photo or print quite well.
He did one of Ian for me which catches a side of my kid
I do not see often. It's just head and shoulders.
Ian is a prankster at pulling a face just as I press the button.
Especially if he is in costume. I think it catches him very well. 

I have had breakfast and so has my cat. She is laying half on the
windowsill and half on the top of the corner of the studio unit.
catching the sun's rays. she can look out at the view and watch for
butterflies, birds and squirrels. (Or any creature that ventures 
into our garden) 
Enough said for today hope you all are well and content,

Love you in the strappy high heels but may be not today
I remember going to work on my vespa scooter when I came out to go home stamped on the frozen back wheel foot brake and snapped the cable so only had a front brake after that

I can't remember not having deep snow when I was growing up, when David and I first got married I used to say to him "Doesn't the Midlands ever have snow?" because coming from Bolton to visit David's parents I knew when we got near the Midlands, no snow...... though no that didn't mean I could walk ok in the snow, well once I started work and of course wore heels, talk about Bambi on ice.

Bond

Hi Carole,I read this after I had cleared the snow from the drive and around to the bins but all good
I had my boots on and my heavy waterproof cost on that had been to the Artic
Yes Sara is filling in this week for someone on holiday,they only live five minutes away you could walk there in twenty

Thought I would set the scene
New avatar some of the snow we had last year 2021
out on my back deck brrrrrrrr

05:19:58
Morning .....I got up at 345 fed  and went back
into bed and ACTUALLY fell back to sleep for almost an HOUR
Cold again here and our next  snow expected Friday night but clearing
Saturday midday before ANOTHER lot arrives Mon/Tuesday

Seems someone pulled the PLUG and decided CT should get the snow
we have been missing ,well at LEAST SOME of it as NOTHING like
California ,they say we are 2ft less than we normally should have had
at this time of the year

I have to say I cannot remember growing up with THAT much snow in Coventry
I know I used to  for it for Xmas but it rarely came
but I remember one storm we had in 1957/58 when Gil and I were courting
and it had to have been a friday night as he took me to the Odeon picture
house and when we got out it had snowed and the buses had STOPPED
so we had to walk all the way back to Bell Green ,Marge might know
how far THAT was ,plus I had my "monthly" that day and I cannot tell
you how UNCOMFORTABLE it was walking ALL THAT way home
Gil slept on the sofa in mums front room as he could not walk back to
Peel street after we had walked all that way

The next big storm I remember  was 1963 when I had Blaine and we could
not get back to Bolingbroke Rd after I had him at my Mum's on Shuttle St
as she had transferred from the new house on Deedmore Rd to #9 Shuttle St
right around the corner from my Nan where I was born on Purcell Rd so Nan
would walk out her back garden in to the ally-way behind the  council houses
and my step dad made a gate at the bottom of the garden so she could come into
Mums garden

I do seem to recollect ONE big storm when little and still at my Nan's
I must have been under 7-8 yrs old
Grandad opened   the back door and the snow had drifted up against
it and it all fell into the kitchen ,as we had chicken and he had to get
out to feed them ,but that was the only BIG storms I  seem to remember

Anyway stay warm and do not try digging out Bond  not good
for someone with a condition

Hope the ladies had a good night ,Marge will be seeing warmer temps but some
rain Friday ......
Being as its only Thursday Bond and you say you might get Emmett if nursery
school is cancelled ,is your DIL working all week now then ? as I thought she
only worked on a Friday that was why you had him that day?
How far away does Michael live from you ? as that must be a chore bringing
him to you if its a good distance
They are SO LUCKY you have him ,something MY MUM never did for me and MINE

I will look in later going no where today

Good morning all from a white over Atherstone and it's coming down thicker,so a good call and the leading Players has been cancelled
Add to that we may have Emmett earlier if the nursery is closed
Breakfast and it's cornflakes and warm milk coffee tea and a large lemon and lime for later,
Keep cossy folks
Stay where you are Vicky I'll bring a cuppa up

Time for bed ,it was a great play and as it was a brewery a nice pint ,
It's thick snow now but the taxi driver ploughed through
Hot chocolate?

Good morning, been busy here lining up loads of laundry (3)
 .  so far. 

Yes ,   to Blaine 

I also have a miracle baby who just turned 61!
her surgery was done in St Louis for a close
to the heart birth defect. She was 7 and a physical
exam in that state was mandatory for all children,
entering school as new pupils. Thank goodness,
it was found and fixed. 

We are being warned about the next weather front, due
here on Friday. With warmer temperatures, the snow
below the normal snow line will melt and joining with the 
rain, will cause serious flooding.
It might fill the reservoirs to overflowing in which case,
they will need to release water to keep it at a normal level. 
There is a plan to use holding basins for the extra water to let
it drain into the aquafers that are part of the artesian well 
system. 

i do not think it will affect us much locally as we already have
aquafers built into our local area because of the draining of the
verdant lake that was where two of our schools were built.
What was the deepest level has only the sports field on it. 
(it was not very deep to begin with) 

This whole LA area is like a flat basin with streams coming down from
the mountains and out to the sea. 
To limit flooding, they built drainage channels so it would flow
a lot quicker. Only problem is that because the land in between, stayed
dry for so many years, developers quickly built on it! 
now its slap bang in the middle of a flood plain! 
Homeowners insurance has now risen to take that into account.
Not fair! 
I pay extra for earthquake insurance to cover any possible damage 
to my house. (Rain damage is already covered)

Mr.   is already out but it's still only 51f .
The old furnace is set to 74f and its on auto.
It's quite cold here at dawn but warm enough to not need
it again until sunset. 

Did not know that both my kids were so attached to that tree
out front. They grew up with a rope swing on it and it was part of their
everyday play. Peter and I were forever taking balls down that were
stuck in its branches as well as kites and model airplanes. 
As there are no fences dividing my neighbor and I, It was the place to play
for all the kids in our end of the street. 
Just made some toast in my new Toaster for breakfast now its time to take
my pills. Hope you all had a good day.

Thanks for the cuppa.

Tea it is ,he looks like he's thinking the same too,
I haven't left the house yet today and I'm not really happy about going out tonight,I'm very much lock up turn the fire up and settle down especially this weather,
Right drinks all round

Avatar is Steve, he'd popped in here after work for some reason  and I took this photo of him in the hall.   He was 36.

I've returned.......yes we did have a flurry of snow.

We didn't go to M&S I looked online and she was just about to go to her craft centre.....though she sounded half asleep, anyway I told her "Bodyshop" have navy tights where's that she said "Rope Walk" I told her "Oh I never go that far" she said, "Well it's not that far" I told her, anyway I've found out Peacock's got them, and I know she does go there.......and anyway I'm sure Asda have them and she does go there once every two weeks. she did hint she'd like an egg slicer..... Oh no I'm not falling for that one.

Cuppa please then Bond.

Hi all ,keep warm Carole and we have had a flutter of snow here Vicky so turn the heater up as you come through,
You will all need drinks in your returns

Blaine


Bond have fun.

Waiting for the Asda delivery then off to M&S not for me but she wants Navy tights.

My avatar is Blaine Darryl age 1 week
9lb 8 ozs as he had already
gained weight before the midwife left me when he was 10 days old
and we went back to our house on Bolingbroke Rd

04:47:48
AGAIN I tried to lay in for an extra hour ,but a four legged
fur ball would not have it


Yes 60 yrs ago I had, almost 2 hrs ago {8am  time }
just popped out a 9 pounder in all of three hours ,and NO stitches
After almost losing him in 2000 I am just grateful to the brain surgeon
at Yale New Haven Hospital

Its cold right now as there was AGAIN a brisk wind blowing all night
28f but feels like 16f ,so going to get blown away when I go to Fran;s
at 930am maybe I will have to wear my lighter coat that has a hood  
Normally wear my Bunnell High school marching band coat that I have had since
David and Chelsea were in the band ,its very warm that is why I still wear it

Any way have fun Bond  

Good morning to the ladies    
Have a good day      

Good morning all from Atherstone a cold dry morning here
Happy birthday to Blaine happy 60th
House cleaning day this morning then we are of out to a play , not just a play but a play (Two) in a small brewery so may be a pint in it ,
No it's not the same author of Vera ,but a very similar story line but down south
We found unforgotten a bit deep ,a bit too deep
Another detective tonight (the Bay )based in what I thought was Weymouth but seem it's not it's Morecambe they must have the same clock tower on the front,
Breakfast and it's cornflakes and warm milk coffee tea and coffee and large lemon and lime for later

What's the author called Bond?   It's not the same one who wrote the Vera books is it?

We've watched  "Unforgotten"   another one where you daren't look away or you've missed a part of it.     We're watching the "Great Pottery Throw Down"   at the moment, though it's got to be bedtime.  

9ib Carole

Right.......Off to bed soon as this programme's finished.

Another photo of Matthew and Rob "Matthew do these two go together? "Hang on Dad I'll just put this in and then come and look"

FYI the moon is called a *Worm* moon Bond 
Have a good night ,been very windy all day so feels 
colder 
Have to go this time 60 years ago I went to sleep before 
 I started my three hour labor tomorrow morning & at 5am 
gave  birth to my 9lb first baby boy ........PUSH PUSH 
AHHHHHHHHHHHH

Good evening all,a lovely moon about 6:30 when it
Was lower on the horizon it was a peachy colour but now it is a bright white on a very clear crisp night so it looks like a hot chocolate night
Hot chocolate and biscuits
My books rolling along you could take out Lesley
Replace it with Vera ,

Love this photo of Matthew at Christmas when he was two building with Rob who was 34.

Well it's been lovely though a bit of snow earlier on but nothing to write home.

Hope you've had a good afternoon  with Emmett.

We've been to Coombe Abbey to pick up Laura'a 18th birthday......it's a weekend there staying in one of there super rooms,  also dinner and breakfast,  she's going with her friend Coby.   Steve and Susan are also chipping in.

Sorry been nattering to Susan.....she's been telling me all about this bag website......really nice she said, the woman sells bags she's  had enough of, top quality but second hand,  she's also on QVC.      

Thanks for the tip about Fergie's book......sounds good.     The one I'm reading is ever so good,  

Right I've got some bags to look at......back in about 5 hours.

Hi Talking of books I've just finished the Bob Mortimer one ,it was ok but I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it,
Just started a new one by Rachel McLean (the Corfe Castle Murders , it's about a straight talking DCI and she is coming over a bit like Vera so settled in for the first 30 pages
Emmett was really good he brought a plated wool worm from nursery,a book worm as it's book week
So we had to draw and colour in worms using paint and crayons,this week of school has really brought on his speech,
Drinks trolley ready to roll
My phone has just vibrated to tell me there's been a new poster so I bet Marg has joined us
Back later

Its another   morning here but still only 53f but it is early.

There is still so much snow up in our local mountains, that
it's taking more time to get enough cleared so people can 
at least walk to a set up providing needed food and meds.
and provide cans of gasoline to run their snow blowers.
Neighbors have taken to sharing what they have plenty of
in trade for things, they are short of. 
One church youth group arrived to help with shovels and snow- shoes!
It looks like we will have more rain than snow out of the next storm front
set to arrive on Friday!  It is warmer air driving it. 
It will melt a lot of snow at lower altitudes which will mean more flooding
and more mud slides. 

I am just pottering about here doing small maintenance jobs.
I cleared a whole lot of old magazines and catalogues out to be recycled.
It is all last years, which I saved in case the power went out again.
I am not up to reading about places I cannot go to yet. 
Still too many problems with the airlines. 
I will stick to UK and US murder mysteries for now.

10:23:42
Watching the morning news and for the readers
among us guess who was being interviewed about
her new book
Fergie , Dutchess Sarah Fergeson
New Historial romance called

*A most intriguing lady *

Released today
Seems she has a contract for more ,and said the last thing
our queen said to her was *keep on writing *

04:56:45
Morning EVERY ONE ,slept in a "little" as Blaine is off all week
being as tomorrow he will be "60" and so has taken the WHOLE WEEK OFF
He being the middle child is bad enough until I remember my oldest will this year
be 63

Dry but cold here even though its showing in the 40's ,the weatherman
is saying dress for the 20's ,and keeping a CLOSE on Saturday
as the European computer models are predicting a LOT of
where as the American model is saying less

Have fun then Bond I am sure you will find something to keep Emmett
occupied for a few hours ,mine used to like when I drew circles with in circles
then they colored them in

Anyway this is Limey 1 checking out AGAIN for now

Good morning all from Atherstone it's a cold but dry morning here.
Yes he love story games and baking rolling out pastry making sausage rolls and jam tarts ,I've bought TV cartoon caricature cakes ,Duggy a dog scout with his bakery badge ,we are not getting him until lunch so bananas on toast . May be pancakes no baking
Avatar is the outdoor kitchen I made him as the one they bought from Aldi fell apart ,
Breakfast and it's cornflakes and warm milk coffee tea and a large lemon and lime for later

Hot Chocolate please........

Yes jigsaw puzzles, hide and seek , and when his shoes are peeping out under the curtain you don't see them, you don't see him under the table , loudly say "I wonder where he is?" and when he giggles "Ah ha I can hear him, he's coming from .....{the lounge} {kitchen} {Upstairs} " where ever he's not. Restaurants ......the times I've cut up one of those green scrubbing cloths to make peas......draw carrots, chips etc and use paper plates and fluffy toys for customers, you be the waiter he cooks the meals.....though is he too young for that.....oh well you'll think of things. Matthew, Laura and me use to get up to lots of things. Oh there's "Snap" oh Dominoes....MrsB can help him.

Have fun.

Good evening all,it's getting close to last drinks for the night over here ,
We were asked this afternoon if we could look after Emmett after nursery tomorrow we'll how could we not so what games can we play ,it sounds like it's going to be cold and wet so may be jig saws

Good morning one and all.
It is sunny here again this morning but only 53f.

I braved the very big box store, Target, and
finally got a replacement Toaster.
Not much choice in any of the other places 
I tried. (Too big or too fancy).

2 of the 4 60watt bulbs in the light fixture in the bathroom
are out thanks to the Electric company's little dance party, 
a few days ago. I have those replacements. 
I need to go to the DIY big box place for 2 100watt bulbs,
for the kitchen now. I use soft white bulbs all round and have for
years but it seems the younger generation like operating room,
type lights. mine are not sold everywhere anymore. 

Ian has taken a quick trip to Croatia for makeup and costume
fittings and he will be gone for most of April recording a program
there. 

Is there something as too much snow?
Our local mountains are still trying to dig out drifts of 16 feet,
and 3 foot on roof tops before the roofs fall in. 
At least they have wood to burn to keep warm. 
One poor lady has missed 3 chemo appointments because
of her road not being cleared yet. 
There is supposed to be more rain and snow later this week.

Oh how I wish Bond......though where's my flunky to help me up  

Well it's raining.

Started reading my Kindle .....The Grenville sisters,    set in the 30's, my type of book  sitting in bed while the maid brings me my cuppa.

Yes we had one of those serving hatches but when the lounge and kitchen were altered we did away with it.

Avatar is Matthew aged 2

Is that not you then about to alite the vehicle with big hat on,
Just finished painting and washed my things up
So the lounge door the kitchen door and as alot of homes in the 60s had the serving hatch doors form the kitchen to the dining area and all their frames are now brilliant white satin finish
So may be a bit early but the kettles on:cup:

I stayed behind the ropes my did not.

Right Benjie wants us to go out, not him he's been out but he wants us to go out......soooo

Later.

Good morning Carole thank you,baby steps
