@niamhgarvey @actuallyautistic Niamh I have a tiny admission to make… there may have been a little artistic license in the last few entries, as much to amuse myself as my Peeps.

We have food in & if push comes to shove we could get out, the is still some decent snow about but I noticed this morning that a lot of our neighbours have managed to get off the Close.
We live right at the end of the close & in the past there would be a concerted effort by neighbourhood to clear the road, sadly there are only ourselves & one other family from those days that remain, the new, younger, neighbours all stayed in when I was out digging out our drive the other day.

My hands & feet get ever so cold this time of year, & this year they have started to get exceptionally painful after long exposure, age catching up with me I guess! This, mixed with my agoraphobia, makes going out of the house a trial at the best of times.

I kind of wanted to say all this without it sounding like I was whining hence the the story line.

Thanks so much for caring, I do appreciate it & it sounds like you have it at least as bad as us!

The electricity thing was a saving session initiated by our utilities company - Octopus - we will earn a little extra off our bill hopefully (over and above the actual drop in usage).

I hope you have a good day today & keep warn & snug!

@Tim_McTuffty @actuallyautistic thank goodness you are ok ! Xx

@niamhgarvey @actuallyautistic All good thanks Niamh, I should have remembered that a lot of my Peeps share my literal take on the world & been less subtle in my attempts at humour

I hope you & yours are all good over there

@Tim_McTuffty @actuallyautistic lots of snow and ice finally melting here today. Any thaw in your neck of the woods?

@niamhgarvey @actuallyautistic Evening Niamh

The snow is starting to retreat, but more by evaporation than actual melting I think. I can see the roof of the car now!

Hope you had a good day

@Tim_McTuffty @actuallyautistic onwards and upwards!

@PixysJourney @actuallyautistic Thank you

@Susan60 @actuallyautistic G’day Susan

They were, in truth, extra large (free range) hens eggs - but birds are what dinosaurs evolved into so no harm no fowl!
They were very tasty btw thanks.

It’s a beautiful, very cold at -2ºC, day here so there will not be any great outdoor adventuring, if any!

Hope you have a great day!

@Tim_McTuffty @actuallyautistic

Brrr! Got to 32.5C today, currently 24 at 10.30, but will hit down to 19 which is okay. Stay warm!

@Susan60 @actuallyautistic Toasty! I dream of 19 (ºc, lets be clear here )

@Rasta @actuallyautistic Morning Rasta

See I knew someone would get my somewhat off track humour

TBH today it’s far more a voluntary thing than anything else, you know I don’t like venturing out & about at the best of times & the threat of going tit over tail on a snowy, icy road is not helping.

We have a shovel & indeed the drive & the road immediately in front of our house is clear & gritted.

Headphones are definitely helping!

Hope you have a good day today Mon Frére

I was still awake from a recent pee break, when I heard a cat gagging, Jasper, somewhere in the living room, and I went out to find it and clean up if required. Just a hairball or tinsel he found from the tree. Put on coffee and looked out while waiting to see the regular neighbour returning with his dog, at 3:30am and behind him a non-neighbour woman walking her dog. I double checked the time. This is why I can't have a dog. I'm not doing that.

@Rasta @actuallyautistic I think that most dog owners I know would not be out at that time to be fair!

I sleep too deeply to hear our two varmints throwing up overnight thankfully!
