Lakeland weather ...

Hello,

Here I am again with a short entry just to let you know that I am still alive.

We have rain here in the Lakes and I am very happy about that. If it snowed as much as the torrents we have had today, then we wouldn't get out for a month of Sundays. Lol!

Well..my oven has been fitted in, but the day after that the central heating boiler wouldn't come on, so we had to get a chap out to look at it. Bear in mind this is a brand new condenser boiler just put in this summer in readiness for the winter and cheaper bills.

Seemingly there was a small leak in one of the pipes so he put some 'magic fluid' into the system, and so far so good!

It was perishing cold at the time and it made both Bryan and I think of those poor folks who only can afford to heat one room and leave the rest cold.

Luckily for us we have the log burner, but when we left the room for anything our breath was condensing in the air.

Bless all those who are cold at this time of year. It just doesn't bear thinking about!

Fortunately we were only one day like that..to think of others who have to put up with this every day is a horrible thought.

I had a little memo to tell me it was Yasmin's birthday today.

Happy Birthday Yasmin!

Hope you had a lovely day!

I have just found out this afternoon that my grandson Ryan has a girlfriend. He is nine years old and so is she! Bless them!

Her name is Bethany and he wants to buy her a Christmas present. So.. he has asked his mum if she will help him to choose some jewellery for her when he comes home from school tomorrow.

When Samantha told me, I couldn't help laughing with her about it and then agreeing that he was 'growing up'. Bless him! Girlfriends at his age. Lol! Young love...eh?

She also mentioned that Hollie our granddaughter had been telling her Dad that she got up to dance at her school's Christmas party.

Her dad said "Not with a boy surely Hollie!" (She is 7 yrs old).

"Don't be silly daddy it was with a girl!"

"What if it had been a boy daddy?"

"Then he would have to ask my permission Hollie".

"Really daddy!" she asked.

"Yes.. they have to go through me first before they can dance with you" he smiled.

I guess that's the way all dad's feel about their precious daughters.

Well..my phone call from Samantha has used up some of the time I had intended on using on my entry. Must pop off now and make tea for Bryan and me.

I hope these pictures end up where I want them this time.

Thanks to eeryone who offered me the answers to moving the pictures about.

I also want to offer my prayers and condolences to a friend who lost her mum a few weeks ago. She is missing her desperately and is in need of prayers to help her grief.

Praying for her and her dear Mum.

My next entry should have some more photos of the summer and Halloween on it as I have managed to find the cable which downloads the pictures onto my computer.

I had left it in the suitcase which I had taken with me in the summer when I went to look after my grandchildren and son-in-law. Iain had to go into hospital to have both legs operated on for varicose veins. Samantha needed me there to take the children to school, and collect them, as she was at University. We mum's come in handy now and then.

I hope to be back again tomorrow after I take my car in for its annual service and MOT to pop them into my entry.

Meanwhile...take care those of you who are having this awful cold weather across the pond.

Cheerieumsky for now.

Hugs
