Morning all. Does anyone have stats for the R in the fourth row, fourth column?
4:04 am

hiya matty *hug*
4:05 am
mattygroves

Hugs back! How's you?
4:05 am

RE 5/12
4:05 am
sprite

quite a few challenges in life atm, but hanging in there. And you and yours?
4:05 am
zoozzoom

Hello, Sprite & Matty :-)
4:06 am
zoozzoom

Just finished my first run through and have 9 left.
4:06 am
sprite

*hugs zooz* Hello dear man, how are you? And how are your parents doing?
4:06 am
mattygroves

I have bronchitis, which isn't fun but (probably) won't kill me. Because of the 'Beast from the East' and that I'm working from home today, which is nice. Or should I say shirking from home ;) Jeff is with his mum and has been for the last fortnight but should be back on Sunday. So that's the Readers' Digest Condensed Version of my life ;)
4:07 am
zoozzoom

I am well thanks. Mum not so good dad is okayish. I would like to go and see them but it is pure ice everywhere at the moment.
4:07 am
sprite

I hope you are taking it very easy, with a bronchitis! Shirking is the way to go, lol.
4:07 am
zoozzoom

Hope you feel better soon, Matty.
4:07 am
sprite

the weather is evil, zooz. Should be better this weekend though.
4:08 am
zoozzoom

Hope so. Beast from the east and storm emma from the south at the same time was not nice.
4:08 am
sprite

amen to that
4:09 am
zoozzoom

I refuse to give the strom name a captital letter as it was so nasty lol
4:09 am
sprite

can't begin to say how grateful I am we are not camping out and canoeing this weekend, as was the plan.
4:09 am
zoozzoom

Capital*
4:09 am
sprite

lol
4:09 am
mattygroves

These names for the storms are so cheesy
4:10 am
zoozzoom

Oh gosh glad you decided tocancel that one, Sprite! Yuck.
4:10 am
zoozzoom

Maybe that could be the next name, Matty. Mccheesy.
4:10 am
sprite

there would have been no way to keep warm. The freezing, we could have managed. But that wind to boot... nope.
4:11 am
sprite

lol @ McCheesy
4:11 am
zoozzoom

Yeah I think with that wind chill factor would of been too cold even if you were cuddled up.
4:12 am
zoozzoom

It was 11c in my house last night with the heating full on lol
4:12 am
mattygroves

Hah - love it
4:12 am
sprite

that wind steals all and every heat. Better to postpone and enjoy the comforts of central heating.
4:13 am
mattygroves

I have turned the heating back on in the house - my view is there is no reason to freeze unnecessarily.
4:13 am
zoozzoom

wish I had central heating instrad of this crappy electric economy 7 rubbish.
4:13 am
zoozzoom

instead*
4:13 am
sprite

amen to that, matty
4:14 am
zoozzoom

Back on? It should of been on for weeks now! You are a tough cookie, Matty!
4:14 am
sprite

central heating rocks, for real low temps.
4:15 am
mattygroves

Nooo...it comes on twice a day - it usually goes off during the day as no-one is here. But as someone is here...
4:15 am
zoozzoom

My parents could not live without it that is for sure.
4:15 am
zoozzoom

Ah I see.
4:15 am
mattygroves

BTW, does anyone have stats for that pesky R in the fourth row, fourth column? Pretty please?
4:15 am
sprite

especially a sick person who needs coddling!
4:16 am
mattygroves

Nope just my normal shoes, Sprite.

4:28 am

very good safety investment, zooz, and not expensive
4:30 am

My birdbath keeps freezing over so the birds can not drink from it. I suppose they can drink the snow if that makes sense.
4:31 am
sprite

just put some salt into the water, zooz
4:31 am
zoozzoom

It is very rare we get these conditions here, Sprite.
4:31 am
zoozzoom

Would the birds still drink the water?
4:31 am
rubyfoo

They usually bathe in the fshpond, but, of course, it's covered with snow & ice. l put ou bowls off water, but they freeze too fast
4:32 am
rururocks

Maybe something just dawned on the bird?
4:32 am

preying for better conditions, ru
4:33 am
zoozzoom

Just looked, Sprite salt is poisonous to most birds.
4:33 am
rururocks

Maybe the birds will go ice skating?
4:34 am
sprite

no, no salt, indeed. Dextrose (grape sugar) should work
4:34 am
rubyfoo

that's why we don't put salt on the ice out front
4:34 am

Ha I see lots of duck skating on the rivers when frozen when I lived in Oxford.
