Morning all, 6.8 here. The very teeniest dusting of snow here.

Just getting light here and I see we also have a dusting of snow. It must be very cold outside as next door have been scraping their car for the past 10 minutes 😱 Stay safe and warm everyone! 🙂 I'm postponing my trip to the paper shop until the ice has had an opportunity to melt on the pavements!
 
I’m up and at it this morning, missed the last two days because I forgot and it was too late. 6.7 today pretty much been consistent all week after Sunday’s shocker. We’re off for a hike today, nice crispy, frosty and hopefully sunny morning, when it decides to show it’s face! Still quite dark. Setting off about 9.30, made the butties and flask is warming through. Should maybe do at least 10 miles I would think.
@KARNAK chin up Ted, we’re all here for you. @Tickledpinknot good on you for being so positive and making, what sounds like, great plans. Everyone else have a wonderful Wednesday whatever you choose to do. 🙂

You going for the evening paper then? Don’t think it’s going to thaw today Alan! You live oop north now remember! :D
 
Good morning, 11.0 after another night hypo. Where's my control gone for goodness sake? probably out on a sledge as everywhere's covered in snow.

I hope Enya helped you relax last evening and you got some rest @KARNAK. Relying on us lot to keep you sane??😱😉

Enjoy implementing your fun plans @Tickledpinknot 🙂
 
08:09 BS 7.1:( That’ll be the pasta prawn salad for dinner then: too much dressing &, possibly, pasta!😳 Was BS 7.1 before & 8.6 after 90 mins then, went to bed. Loved it though!😛 Spaghetti cut into short strands, little gems, prawns, mayonnaise & ketchup. Less dressing next time, I think!🙄 I’ve tried salads before with prawns or smoked salmon & salad leaves but, without SOME carbs, leaves me very hungry. So, tried some previously cooked spaghetti & left to go cold & added in half a portion: as measured by those cut out circle measures! That keeps me full & I don’t think that’s the problem.🙄 I think the fat of the dressing kept BS elevated overnight because of the slow release: need to measure carefully controlled amount next time!🙄

It snowed quite heavily here yesterday afternoon & is still lying on the ground so, I’m snowed in! Definitely felt the nip in the air. Stayed in bed watching old episodes, & the 2 new ones from the current series, of Death in Paradise. The new series 8 has just started on BBC 1, 9pm on Thursdays, without Danny John Jules & a newly qualified female police constable to join the team. I love that show & a nice bit of Caribbean sunshine on a cold day!😛😎

Wrap up warm & put on the thermals: it’s cold out there!😉 Have a good day folks!🙂
 
@KARNAK, sorry to hear your struggling!:( Glad we help to lift things a bit for you!😉 Sending you some bright, bright sunshine to brighten up your day & give you warmth & brightness on the inside!🙂😎😉
 
Good morning from white sparkly Scotland. Slept late and woke to a 6.7. Hibernating today and will forage fridge and freezer for food. Stay warm everyone

Morning all, 12.4 for me which is OK considering 4 weeks of non-stop steroids.
Choosing life again after the anti-coagulant wobble and have some fun things planned for the next week involving husband, kids, horses and ice hockey.
Hope you all have a great day xx

Have a good time
 
Good morning a more positive 4.8 on a very sunny day.🙂 Thank you for all your lovely comments, what a lot of you are going through makes my problems pale into insignificance. I see a lot of you have snow and ice, its still shorts and a light pullover here.:D Going over to Brixham with a few friends for a nice fish lunch freshly landed this morning on the quay.🙂

Once again a heartfelt thankyou and enjoy your day.🙂
 
Good morning all🙂

I slept for 10 hours last night, and even my liver pumping my BG up to 8.7 didn’t wake me. Still, feel good for the first time this week, so alls well.🙂

Beautiful hoar frost this morning. It’s lovely when that happens. Bright sunshine isn’t doing much, neither is the traffic on the Eastbound A59, so I guess there’s a bit of bit of motorised dancing on ice been going on.:confused:

I’ll be hibernating and watching the test match this afternoon. Next expedition planned is the Rovers on Saturday, unless we’re snowed in. Don’t fancy the rear wheel skid show on the wheelchair.😱

Anyway, folks, wrap up warm, and do take care. No unnecessary journeys. 🙂

Apart from Karnak, of course, in subtropical Paignton. Don’t forget the Factor 50. Mr Smug goes to Brixham. Got a nice ring to it as a book title:D
 
I should add, for the benefit of Robin and Northie, that teeny dusting of snow you see isn’t snow. It’s hoar frost. Happens with clear skies, when the dew freezes into ice crystals as soon as it forms.

This was definitely snow, like the stuff that was falling out of the sky yesterday lunchtime. (It was cloudy here overnight.) The paper man left tyre tracks in it, you don’t usually get that with hoarfrost.
 
Apparently my parents only met once, the bonnet of a model T Ford is great for conceiving.:D
