no weather isn't bad enough

but it will be freezing in the scout hut, they are supposed to be doing outdoor adventure stuff next week

can he miss it for once or dosent he want to ? i wouldn ike to do any activities outside ,its too cold for me ,but kids dont seem to notice i too much,just had another downpour of hail !

its looking quite bleak out there now

always does at 3pm

S, no snow now.

oh has it all melted tnog ?

thats a shame

did you go to the beach in the snow?

i love going on the beach when it snows don't know why, it just looks quite beautiful really

Hello!

Yes, all melted away pretty much and it was thick last night, but then the rain came and now we're just left with bits of slush.

Sparkles, we did go down to the beach yesterday and you're right it is beautiful in the snow, almost surreal.

The sky was wonderful yesterday too, a very pale magenta colour.

Fantastic.

How are you both?

S, how's Poppy and the rest of the gang?

aha finally have caught up with you !

i hope you have taken some photo,s of the snow?

is it common to get snow in Ireland ,im sure ex dh has said they do

Oh M, I know at last we meet

I can't get on here at night atm

making big efforts on the home front and all that..###

Took loads of photos.

Dh and I have to take photos to help us when er're painting.

they're like little reference points for colour and form

How are you?

It's about five or so years since we had proper snow along the SE coast but yes, other parts probably do get snow more regularly.

not too bad considering i suppose.problems about dd but that seems to be the norm over the last few months and also its nearly time for you to light your candle for my sis .also its my friendsdad funeral tomorrow ,that will be two in 6 days,cant get much more depressing can it ?

apart from that im fine

tnog you've reminded me, i watched 'the sky a night' last night with old patrick moore it was about arourae's was very fascinating, i would love to see them the way they do in the north pole must be beautiful

i'm having to type with my left hand so sorry for being a bit slow

have you got the baby on your lap sparkles

tnog why havent you got a profile box on your posts ?

M, it's been a bad old start to the new year alright.

You mentioning the candle has reminded me that a couple of weeks ago a woman I know in the nearby town lost her husband suddenly after 50 odd years together.

Dh and I went to the house to pay our redpects and walked into a real old fashioned wake.

The husband was laid out in the coffin in the middle of the kitchen with maybe 20 - 30 people various ages all chatting and some singing.

I haven't been to a proper wake in years and it was lovely..if you know what I mean..

The wife had placed a little posy of flowers from the garden in his hands and there was a candle lit in the window.

Sparkles, I'd have loved to have seen that prog.

Patrick Moore was fantastic.

I'd love a monocle

yes M i have, you think the poor girl had never been fed

poppy is doing really well tnog, thanks for asking

God knows M

I logged on one day and the box had disamapeared

Tried figuring where the bloody thing had gone and just got really vexed

Are you still breast feeding, S?

That does sound lovely tnog ,how sad after all those years together,it must be like losing the other half of you,i have only known one family that has had the deceased at home and that and i helped them out with the food for the wake but when i took it over to their house i didnt expect the coffin to be there ! i was quite shocked and then when the husband died they did the same for him ,luckily i am not afraid of the dead.Its the living you have to watch out for !

i've never been to a wake

i've never seen a dead person, not sure i could especially if it was someone close
