Here, it's chilly and cloudy, so I guess anything's possible. Wait and see. In the meantime, we've done a spot of housecleaning this morning and I hope to start a new book this afternoon. May you all have a good day.

It is cold this evening. We played Rook at a neighbor's house this evening and didn't have far to go to get home.
The forecasts are for snow tomorrow but on an inch or so.

bright and sunny morning after another very cold frosty night....friends coming around later...daughter tells me the bulbs in the garden are showing green tips....so while not imminent there are signs that at some point we will get spring..... unless of course we have all carked it with coronavirus......a whole province containing some 50-60 million people...that to me says there are far more deaths than 600 and far more cases than a couple of thousand...….I suspect as usual our dear leaders are telling porkies....

This morning I opened my eyes to my alarm ring and said (first thing after Alexa, Stop), Alexa, is it snowing? "She" said, Yes, it started snowing a half hour ago and should continue another hour with no accumulation. Wow ... she got it on the nose. The snow is now over with no trace .. in fact the sun is peeking out through the clouds. That's what I was hoping .. NO accumulation.
Otherwise, I have to go out and about this afternoon. Hope all here are having a good day.

A little rain, a little light snow. Working inside today and hoping it clears off by Monday.
Have a good weekend.

It doesn't seem very cold because there's not much wind, but it is spitting snow off and on.
I'm off to Cosco to pick up chicken and salad. Then, back to read and sleep this afternoon. Didn't get enough sleep last night so I need to catch up.
Isn't there an old saying that goes .. gossiping women like cackling hens, never come to a good end?
The book I'm reading, Big Little Lies, is definitely filled with gossiping women! lol Kind of alarming .. not what I expected!

I just now posted an opinion article by Ralph Nader in Politics/ Editorials and Opinions. If you are here visiting and no0t a Babylon member you probably can't get that topic. If you would like to read it, try going to a site called Common Dreams and you should be able to find it there.
It's worth the trouble.
It's still cold. The forecast is for temperatures top go up about 10 degrees tomorrow. Early spring, on the way.

very cold very windy and very wet... daughter too Jakie out.. she says its really stinging out there.. you can feel every raindrop as it hits the skin.. I gather its storm Ciara.... bad news for Jakies family they come back from Amsterdam this afternoon or not as the case may be... luckily they flew straight to Skipol rather than going by ferry... actually that crossing in bad weather is horrendous.. really mountainous seas.....but if you have a good stomach then it can be quite thrilling.. but right now according to the weather report..planes are being badly buffeted when trying to land
Beth never heard tha one... but.. a whistling woman and a crowing Hen.. will frighten the devil out of his den or this about gossip.....listners never hear good about them selves
have had just about every thing thrown at us... flooding galore.. no way out of the village as all roads are raging torrents...several cars have been abandoned and the fields were just grey with water....and the wind and sleet it was deafening... Jakies people are stuck in the Airport as flights have been canceled….still as far as we know.. the damage is minimal and we will find out more in tomorrows light...on our village web site are all sorts of pictures taken from all over ..seems when this dies away over night then we are in for snow

Gossip is frowned on here. Our parents taught us it's cheap and common.
Milder weather is in store this coming week, starting today. I'm leaving in 10 min. to go out to Sunday brunch with my brother and his family.
Later.

I guess its all about the type of gossip....but if what is said is true then its hardly gossip.. plus when does speculation turn to gossip... etc etc…not sure your right about gossip being frowned on.... indeed some may frown.... but hollywood appears to be the biggest gossip mill in the world ... magazines and tv thrive on gossip and appear to thrive on it from the yesterdays Times[is the times a tabloid] it would appear that theres a service coming upwhich the Royals all attend and the Queen has sent a message to P Harry asking him and mrs Wales to attend and bring the baby.......the speculation is that mrs Wales wont attend and or they wont bring Archie with them....
yesterdays storm is now at its tail end.. some wind but not battering,, very dark clouds.. so it will be clean up day for those unfortunate enough to have been flooded.....and along the roads/rivers/railways etc

Sounds liie winter to me, mouse. It's pleasant here today. Jacket weather with sun. The forecast says down in the teens tomorrow night, though, so we're sure to get a little more winter no matter what the Groundhog had to say about early spring.
I've started back to work today for a 3 month tour. Means getting used to early to bed, early to rise all over again. Having some extra spending money for a change will be worth it, I'm sure.
