I am a bit behind things this evening.
Been on the 'phone for ages!

Hi, Rusty!

We have 1C tonight.........with 2C tomorrow morning!

Nor does there seem to be any sign of frost, so far.
Ah, I like long chatty phone calls.........so long as it is good news of course!
Do you ever use Skype?
I cannot remember whether we have mentioned this before?
It is free, and also enables you to see each other during the conversation.
Unfortunately, I find I cannot use it as looking at the screen triggers off a migraine (something to with the camera pixels...and a flickering effect?)
I think it is time for a coffee.......

Hello, Elle!
Just a light covering of snow, so far.
I have never used Skype.
I am a bit old-fashioned!
One of the ASDA girls uses it to keep in touch with her mother in Bulgaria, and another has a mother in Texas.
They find it a Godsend!

Hi, Rusty!
I should have thought that your friends in Norn Iron would have introduced you to Skype - it would be so easy to keep in touch that way, at no cost to any of you?
I did try it for a while, especially whilst elder daughter was working in the US...... and then when she had the baby over there......but it had such an adverse effect on my eyes, I had to stop using it.
Just a personal problem..........it seems to work well for most folk.
Any news of the Aussie Open?
What of their wonder girl, Maria?
Have you watched any tennis today?
I shall see what I can find out on Google...........

Good morning, Elle!
Snow here.
May not be on here until evening.
Have things to do.

Hi, Rusty!
Oh dear!
Today did not work out quite as planned.
A phone call, just after I'd replied to your message this morning, turned my day around.......
The cousin whose wife died just before Christmas, contacted me about the funeral arrangements
It will be too far a journey for my husband to attempt - a woodland burial in North Yorkshire - as I fear it will put his health at risk, especially in the present weather conditions.
So there have been various things I've had to sort out, and other family members to notify.
Tomorrow I need to organise the flowers.
How has your day been? I hope you managed to get everything done?

Not a good time to travel.
Good of you to organise things.
My day has been fine.
Will be busy again tomorrow.
