I've got it, been here all morning but it's downhill from here, not a good week forecast.

Stay warm all. <3

Morning!
Ain't no sunshine here either. Oh well, don't want it to peak too soon.

It's a long time since I've seen milk bottles on a doorstep never mind the frozen milk pushing the tops off. I do remember mum 'tsk-ing' when she discovered little beak holes in the tops though :-D

We've been having milk delivered since the first lockdown -- in plastic containers. :-(

Morning Dermie & Joy <3 <3 :-D :-D

We had milk delivered when D was alive but when he passed I had to cancel it as I only get through 2pts of milk a week :-(

Morning Belle and Dermot. <3 :-D

Our temp is now above freezing point but I think Ann has sent the wind our way which makes it fell very chilly.

I was greeted by a row of icicles when I opened the blinds of one of our back patio windows this morning; we had about a nine-foot stretch of blocked gutter which OH has now cleared. It reminded me of this lovely, descriptive little snippet learned at school:

When icicles hang by the wall,
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail .....

Can you remember when milk was delivered in bottles to your doorstep and in winter birds would peck at those tops to dip their beaks into the milk?

One of my brothers has started to get milk deliveries again. <3

Sunless Sunak.

:-D :-D <3 :-D :-D :-D <3 :-D :-D

Well there ain't no sun here :-( :-D :-D

2 Degs today but it does feel a lot warmer than that......17 Degs by the end of the week :-D

Hugs for them that need em <3 <3
