    Aloha everyone,

    @moyra we wish you lots better. :grphg:

    I'm intending working on putting up a traffic mirror on the telephone pole opposite us (would be a bit stupid to put it opposite our neighbour :rolleyespink:) and have a friend coming round to give us a hand. Once we have it fixed to the pole I shall need to sit in my car at the top of the driveway whilst he moves it to the right position.

    Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

    Aloha!

            Cold wind has gone :phew: Feels warmer even though the car is covered in frost.

            Have a good day everyone :spinning:

                Aloha everyone,

                Traffic mirror fixed. Now I have to get used to the distorted view it gives. :noidea: My friend, who did most of the work, said that should be easy for me as I have a twisted view on things anyway! :heehee: It certainly shows the view of the blind bend and further along the road but I realised that on a dull day a dark car, without lights, doesn't show up very easily. So I shall have to wait some seconds to spot whether there's movement along the road. The mirror is very good but is showing half a mile of road that is totally out of view from the driveway.

                This week is very busy from the bridge point of view. I'm playing six sessions/matches in four days (Tuesday to Friday) with about four hours, or more, taken up with each session playing and travelling. :phew: Yesterday I opened the club at 1.15 p.m. then had 75 minutes break for a quick supper before picking up my team, driving to London for a match and arriving home close to 11.30 p.m.

                At least I'll have a break on Saturday with helping sorting out the 80th birthday party of a friend. We have to set up the hall and I volunteered to do some of the cooking. So I'm cooking for thirty people. :hate-shocked:

                Then on Sunday I'm playing all day in a match for the county. :rolleyespink:

                No gardening for me this week.

                Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                Aloha!

                  No frost this morning, cloud cover overnight :phew:

                  Just getting light but the owls are still going for it outside.

                  3 weeks till Solstice :hate-shocked:

                    Aloha everyone,

                    A light covering of snow on the ground and cars and more forecast. I'll stay snug indoors for most of the day but out tonight.

                    Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                    Aloha!

                      No snow here. A very light ground frost and car windscreen frozen. Sun shining through fluffy white broken clouds. I hope it doesn't snow yet. Tomorrow morning I am supposed to be ice skating outdoors with my grandchildren.

                      :fingers crossed:

                      G.

                            Aloha everyone,

                            @moyra wish you better today. :grphg: Be careful when you go out as the wind is bringing a high chill factor.

                            @wiseowl hope you're feeling better today :grphg:

                            I got back late last night from a bridge match as they decided to close the slip road off the motorway. :doh:

                            This afternoon I'm going to a charity bridge drive (for the local hospice) and am bound to be dragged into helping run it. :noidea: Then bridge club tonight.

                            Yesterday I cooked the food for my friend's 80th birthday party tomorrow as I'm too busy today and tomorrow we'll be setting the hall up.

                            I don't know whether I'll bother to venture out in the garden this morning apart from filling the bird feeders.

                            Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                            Aloha!
