Yes its looking good Stanley as is the base

Morning Still torrential rain, there is a flood warning for Rochdale town centre, lets hope the river behaves itself and does not flood the town like it did about 4 years ago. Another day of indoor activities. The jigsaw is progressing well 😆 and when I wasn't doing that yesterday I was completing m...

There are too many hills round here obscuring reception to use an app that tracks your walk as you do it. We tried it and found we were always a couple of miles out due to loss of reception. Do you not get a signal from GPS round your way Sue? I have never experienced loss of signal on any of the t...

Morning There won’ t be any walking today, its heavy rain all day. Yesterday we did our round trip to the postoffice, just over the three mikes and having logged it on our virtual walk we were surprised we were nearly in Gravesend. Only another 60 miles to Dover, thats rather a lot of walks for the ...

How does it work Sue? ( you have an Ap, take your phone for a local walk, and it transfers your distance to the virtual walk?) Is this a free thing? Hubby had a text from our neighbour sometime overnight to say they have had to rush off unexpectedly as his father has died...could we do the bins, co...

3 miles today, we areVIRTUALLY at Aldi opposite Tilbury docks t

Morning I gather its due to rain most of the day with a small window early afternoon. We shall use this small window to walk to the post office as we have a letter to post to our neighbours in France. We like to keep in touch as they are voluntarily doing so much to look after the house. The post of...

Made it to Dartford today :laugh5: DBA2EF18-4971-4B41-8990-9B5DD3C00DFA.png I used to work in Dartford, very close to where you ended up. West Hill Hospital (opposite end of town to East Hill funnily enough). Bob used to work near Dartford, he worked at the technical services at the old Littlebrook...

Yes it was nice to get out, made a change not to be surrounded by fog

What is the source of your sensory deficit in your foot, Plaques? Nerve damage? 20+ years ago two discs went pop big style. At that time the top surgeon ex- Bosnia war zone said it was to dangerous to operate. When the pain subsided it left me with no feeling in my legs. Fortunately the left leg re...

Made it to Dartford today

Stanley, I am not sure how we cross the channel . Perhaps we swim . Bob suggests fish and chips on the ferry

Morning Love those slippers Maz. It promises to be a drier day today , so I think that we will do a walk after our brunch breakfast. I am logging our miles on our virtual walk to Paris from the Tower of London. The weather has been so bad we haven’t got very far yet. The site I am logging them on ha...

Sounds good Maz! Sue, virtual you will be piling the weight on with all these cakes :laugh5: Virtual weight is OK Wendy :laugh5: thanks for the birthday greetings. A January birthday girl gets used to cold, wet, foggy , windy celebrations 😆 An extract from the tale of the Lambton Worm . But the wor...

I have just had another message and virtual cake from Erin et al, with full musical rendering of Happy Birthday, candles and empty plates after eating my cake

Morning A wet day, all day is forecast. Yesterdays promising start resulted in yet another day of fog starting by just after breakfast. I had my dance and pilates classes and spent another day doing the jigsaw and sorting photographs. I had a lovely whats app session with Eve. This weeks cookery les...

Oh good!

Mine are definitely brought on by a specific position of the foot. Its not a short stab its lasts as long as the foot is in that position. The physio says we are a lot further forward than a month ago as I can now control when it happens, we have worked out the precise angle of the foot that does it...

Morning Beautiful dawn, but very cold indeed. Next to no snow. After physio yesterday I spent the day sorting photos on both my laptop and ipad, my treasured genealogical stuff and finally old photo albums of Bobs Mum and Dad. We found a letter in their box, along with some photos. The letter was wr...

If the latest version of the weather forecast is right Sue we can expect some snow. I've just sat down after an hour and a half in the shed. I shall post on that shortly. I've just been out to have a look and we have significant sleet falling. The snow arrived on the way to the physio. Its more lik...

Morning It was a very good art workshop yesterday, a nice snowy frosty scene. I haven’t photographed it yet so can’t show it. Because it finished at 6 it was a bit of a rush to tidy up, eat a meal and be ready for pilates at 8.00 pm This morning I have physio, unfortunately there is no change in the...

Claire said she didn't want us to be bored during lock down

It wasn't an anti Wales remark." Well, all right David but less than complimentary about welsh men. Sue, that jigsaw would drive me mad. Its a few minutes at a time job. We both drop into it every now and again for a few minutes. There is a logic to the pattern which we have worked out. Once you ge...

I mis interpreted ‘just a memory of drunk lads when I was in the army’

Jigsaw coming on well , had to do so e this morning to clear a couple of trays of sorted pieces so I could set up my art.

I'm glad you are getting on so well with the archaeology course Sue. I've just sat down after an hour and a half in the shed and will get my breath before getting a breath of fresh air in the back street, making breakfast and posting on shed matters, I see Bob has been active! As for the weather, s...
