I don't know whether to feel victimised by this site or not.
I tried to post earlier from my phone - didn't let me and I have no idea why, I even remembered to copy the post before hitting reply. Appeared to still be logged in. So logged out and back in again, wouldn't let me paste in the box. Just wanted to add emoji from the choice CT offers and it only offered three the other spaces were blank. Now clicking on it shows them all
. I do touch type but nowhere near the speed I used to and it takes forever for the words to appear - as far as I know I don't have this issue anywhere else.Been another glorious but chillier day here, forecast for more of the same

My goodness some-one's been busy. 8 pairs of walking boots, did you clean all the walking club's boots then? I've a couple of pairs to do from our last trip, but they'll have to wait as it will be caravan cleaning day tomorrow, provided the weather's reasonable.
Well done Husky,getting the fox's body off the road.

IAN,
have you seen any of the Spy programmes that BBC have
had on recently -- they put a camera in something very
closely resembling the target animals. They were rather
amazed at the reactions of the animals when one of them
died. Giraffes etc reacted just as elephants are claimed
to do i.e. travelling some miles to the same area.
Even the smaller critturs seemed to be saddened when
one of the little camera-animals fell over !! They seemed
to show more "caring emotions" than we have been led
to believe they were capable of !
All these years on the Planet Earth, all our mighty brain
power and the " Dumb Animals" are still teaching us lessons !!

Hi all, taken ages to get on here today really slow, not sure if it the wifi on site or CT in general.
Well we went to the Manchedter show yesterday, bit disappointed didn't buy anything or see anything I'd want to buy .
Bit dull here at the moment though we have seen the sun . OH is happy we saw the steam train go past the site earlier, never been here when its been running before.
Going into Bury in awhile for a wander round the market.

Very cold and frosty today.
Off to MK shortly to see youngest son, will probably be our last visit before he moves to Manchester at the beginning of February.
Won't be able to see eldest son as well today as he is off on a skiing holiday.
Enjoy Bury Tammygirl, Burrs is a site we might be using in the future for visiting Manchester.

Did you get to the Shopping Centre? If so in Middleton Hall there is an interesting exhibition on the history of Milton Keynes as we celebrate our 50th birthday this year. We have been here for 38 years now.

S S s s slow here too, but not the site, nor the internet,
but most definitely my cold cold fingers
!1Neighbours off to North Wales for a Half Marathon run
so I've been feeding/watering their pigeons & house pets
and I've got unbearably c c cold !!
The warming procedure is not helped by the fan heater
blowing off two walls and then up my trouser leg .
Think I'll have to take a Hotty with me when I go to put
them to bed for the night. ( Thats the critturs not the neighbours !! )

Thinking about you today, ABM. We walked into Mold from our village, about a 5 mile round trip and there was the Cheese man selling the Snowdonia Cheese (any 3 for £10).
Very cold and miserable with quite a bit of freezing fog around. The walk warmed us up as did the cheese for lunch!

It's been freezing here all day too, the ground is frozen. We had a bit of sun but then it went quite dark and wintery again. An outside tap froze, we forgot to lag it. I've been cutting back a huge rambling rose that had rambled a bit too far, tree like branches needed a lot of work but I still didn't get warm. Glad to be inside.

With the repeat posts the problem seems to be you press reply and nothing happens, so you try again....I can just about see on my laptop if the reply is moving but on my phone it's just guesswork. It's not us it's the set up on here.

Freezing all day here as well. Went for a walk round Ferry Meadows this morning and the small lake, Lynch Lake, is frozen and the poor gulls and moorhens are sitting on the ice looking a bit bewildered and miserable. Only the large sailing lake is ice free.

What a productive day. At the risk of seeming stupid I have to ask about 8 pairs of walking boots. Why so many pairs? I thought I was a shoe/boot deva but even I can't boost 8 pairs of walkibg boots, or even 4 pairs assuming there are two of you 😂😂

Another cold and bright day here again 😆. Had another lovely long and mud free walk with the dog on the local estate. Stopped off at the cafe for liver cake for the dog and hot chocolate with all the trimmings for us. Well someone has to be quality control 😂😂😂.
Shopped for few bits for poorly aunt, I think the antibiotics are working slowly, she needs gp out again on Monday I think to check her out, her gp practice doesn't open on Saturdays 😣. I'm stunned no wonder A&E is under pressure, that practice says it has 7 doctors but no weekend hours............. rant over. She's as irritatable and short tempered and ungracious at accepting any assistance! Last nights request for shopping started by her telling me, for the umpteenth time, where all her paperwork is, who her solicitor is etc as I need to know 😲 and I ask if she needs shopping only to be told what a nuisance she is. Just keep smiling and hope not to get like it myself 😂😂.
Afternoon of craft work. Trying to design and make a quiet activity book for granddaughter. Nowhere near as easy as the YouTube clips would suggest. But I will NOT give up on it. I have decided it won't be for eldest one as she'll be well passed it by the time it's ready. Costing a fortune for felt and some trimmings not to mention my time and sanity. Now I've decided not needed for March I'll relax with knitting 😂

Bakers, we have 2 pairs each, but I hzve a very much loved old pair that comes out every so often when my arthritic feet are sore and I love this pair for this reason, so thats 3 for me. Then Mrs WN got a new pair last week that will need breaking in and until they are she'll use the old pair ( we tend to have 1 pair of walking boots for heavy winter walking and a lighter pair for summer), so thats 3 for her. Not to be outdone the 83 yo MIL has 2 pairs which needed reproofing, so 8 in total and a nightmare when we all go away together.
I didn't want to do a part job so they all got done whether they needed it or not.

Nightmare day today. Didn't go flying as weather a bit iffy and wanted to get on with floor tiling.
Every job I did seemed to have something go wrong.
Worst was when I had a go at cutting the porcelain tiles. I need some half tiles, so had a go at that. Got a perfectly clean cut........except for the final inch at one end, which chipped the surface.
Tried again, same result.
Tried again, applying the pressure at opposite end. same result, but with the chip at opposite end.
Tried applying pressure in the centre and the tile snapped in half......the wrong way!
So that's four tiles spoiled and no progress.
Thinking of going to Wickes for an electric cutter tomorrow.

Didn't get into the centre today, but our local news had a feature on the exhibition, looked interesting, hadn't realised MK had been around that long.
