Butch Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 just finished putting some cranes into storm lock position due to the storm we're expecting (they have massive lengths of solid steel which is on a hand ratchet, so we line them up with holes in the ground and drop the pins in to stop them getting blown down the rails they sit on and smashing into each other) . Then lashed some stuff down which might decide to either topple over or disappear over the next few hours. Soaking wet, covered in shit and looking forward to having a shower and a beer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krapow Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 We went to see Jack and Beanstalk Christmas panto. Really good it was, plenty laugh out loud moments. Then to a nice Turkish restaurant 😋 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They, with a preferred pronoun of he/she/wheelie bin is behind you is the current correct terminology. Though that could've changed as well, i haven't caught up with today's Guardian yet ......................whisper it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 First snow I have been in for some 15 years. Early for lowland Scotland as far as I recall. Gave me a chance to wear my brand new walking boots when I just went to buy my morning newspaper. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britboy Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 My girlfriend and I are heading to York today for 4 nights, just about to set off from Suffolk. She's sales manager at one of the large holiday companies, so she heads up the team that manage and sell space in various lodges, some of which are superb. This one in York is brilliant and we have the best lodge on the park for next to nothing . . 😁 We have our own private hot tub on the deck . . 😜 though it's going to be interesting getting from the lounge to the hot tub in a 1 degree temperature . . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks donkey dick, indeed. Nice view though. Reminds me of Lake Michigan in winter. The cold wind would cut me in half. Didn't matter how many layers I had on. Bone chilling cold. Nowadays it would kill me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krapow Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 We won tickets for Stick Man at Leicester Square theatre, so decided to make a day of it, soak up the Christmas atmosphere around the West End, London does it well. We went to the Christmas Market at Leicester Square, then the theatre, then to China Town and an absolutely superb Chinese restaurant, food was the best Chinese I have tasted, then off to Covent Garden, the huge Christmas tree, their Christmas Market etc. An excellent day, even with it being very cold. Great to see the place buzzing with Christmas shoppers. All quiet next weekend, but then off to see my favourite The Snowman at the Peacock theatre near Holborn the weekend after. Booked tickets for the circus at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park for weekend after. Love London at Christmas. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Woke up to a very heavy frost this morning, minus 1 with a real feel of minus 6. Bloody freezing here. ( don't let @maipenrai read this, he will think it's still mild. LOL ) I am not normally still home this time of year and I can't wait to get to warmer climes. Looking a bit touch and go now with potential restrictions coming in because of the Moronic variant. Fingers crossed for a sensible reaction and not a full ban from countries with it.

Think yourself lucky... We had snow. SNOW, I tell ya! The locals told me we never experienced snow here before i moved here. I would put up a pic, but it's all gone now, apart from the roof of my car, which seems to have turned white. It's a black car... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I am hoping that I won't have to buy a new battery for my car. The starter turnover was slower than normal yesterday when I started her up. But she had been standing for a couple of days. Not cheap for a stop/start battery, plus another 30 quid to have it reprogrammed. Energy bills this year are going to be a lot higher and I have had my central heating on full blast for the last couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
