Sesame, butter and honey for me please, Ned. 
Glad to hear your stern DH made you not risk it, MAS. Snow here, but it's really only just getting started. DS at school, he'll be so excited. Will have to go dust the cobwebs off the sledge. Will definitely need brandy for when we venture out. 
Candles lit for Gig. Thinking of you xx

Afternoon all
Just reading all your posts. We have had more snow here = DH couldn't get into work today, the roads are really icy - no gritters out here in the sticks it seems
We had a power cut last night, or rather a semi power cut - massive drop in voltage and lights, kettle etc all went off, but we had TV initially, then that went too - just as they were doing an item on the New forest on Winterwatch - grr. My computer was not amused at the power messing around and is now very hard to start up and making a noise like a dolphin (clack clack clack!)
Glad the scan went OK Gig and nice that your Dad could come with you.
Hope everyone is well and keeping warm, love Kate x

Power keeps flickering too .

Topsy (on proper computer that isn't convinced you are a dipsomaniac) did pig dog get his snowday? Goondog also really loves snow, it was like Narnia this aft, very uplifting, even if no brandy as Goondog refused to do a St Bernard impersonation (I wasn't going to push it, am a bit phobic about St Bernards after looked after one that was a baby substitute for friends on their honeymoon and it died of a heart attack on Day 2, couldn't wreck honeymoon but then couldn't leave 13 stone of dead dog til their return, ended up throwing a "dig a hole for the huge dog" party in their back garden. I know 
It was good black humour training though...
DD out for the evening so a while before all safe home
love, ha! not telling

Topsy is stone cold sober tonight unfortunately
Pig/dog did enjoy his snow day thank you . He had a good snuffle about on his walk this evening .
He then sulked for over an hour as he was shut in the kitchen (where he has a bed , 2 mats , and a chair of his own) to dry off

Shouldn't laugh at dead St Bernard, - but I am
I posted just after answering some e-mails - seriously I am losing it -
Old lady dog isn't keen on snow - she did a wee on the doorstep - that was as far outside as she was prepared to go, so now I am carrying her out into the garden!
DD is supposed to go about 40 miles tomorrow night to play for her opera singer, - but I think there's a good chance of cancellation, which will be a shame because it was a well paid gig. She's also had to cancel her teaching tomorrow as roads too bad - so she's not best pleased.
Hope your Dd is home soon Copt.

at St Bernard. You know you're amongst friends when we all laugh at such things.
Kurri, if you've lost it well I speak your language. I am peculiar atm. Put the kettle on the top of the hob to make rice earlier. Just realised as I lit the gas.
Glad you're home safe, Gig. Hope mini-Gig's birthday is wondrous tomorrow, though I know it's fraught with memories of last year, so take care of yourself and heft yourself over here if you need hugs of understanding. x
Glad DD home safe, Copt. Mighty glad Topsy's got her Sky back too as couldn't bear the strop if she didn't.
Night all. zzz
