It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife

I got my lung function checked today and it hasn't dropped any further. I've lost a bit recently but it's starting to stabilise at 54%

Also got a plan in place to tackle my health, it means more treatment and antibiotics and nebulisers but hopefully it will make a difference

The staff at my new CF clinic are all really lovely too!

Delighted you got on well and are now 'in the system' in England.

There's a lad who lives in an apartment across the way from mine, and he spends hours on his balcony, with a cup and ball, endlessly trying to get the ball into the cup.

Over the past two years of watching him from time to time, I've noticed that he's started adding in some tricks. He tries to spin the cup in the air, catch it, and then locate the ball. Albeit with awfully limited success. He has even gone further, despite not mastering the previous bit, and tried to spin the cup, bounce it off his elbow, catch it, then catch the ball. Again, we're looking at a staggering fail rate.

This morning, he is camped outside on his balcony with the snow falling around him. Ciggy in mouth, skiing jacket on, and a look of grim determination on his face as his frozen hands grip onto the wooden cup and ball.

I'm getting a blanket, lying on the couch, and watching this for the next while. I think it's going to be a good one.

I love Whatsapp and technology .! Far from smartphones I was reared but I love mine ! Just got a video of my little granddaughter rolling around in her first real snow experience and its fab to be able to see it .

One of the neighbours is outside shovelling snow off all the footpaths and entrances to people's houses. He's delighted with himself.
I think he's even more delighted that the investment in that snow shovel is finally paying off

Being sent home at one, no class tomorrow and maybe not Friday either.

Our neighbour shovelled all of the snow from our garden path too. So sweet! The same man brings around our bins too while we are at work. Such a kind person.

Deadly isn't it!

I'm getting out there later and shovelling so I can be that guy

I think I'll be doing the same.

I was snowed in with a few smallies in 2010 after that I stockpiled kitty litter, shoe clamps, salt, and antifreeze.
When I moved was told to ditch them as the weather doesn't get so bad here, mmmm, who's glad of those things NOW?

Cut up an apple and put it out for the birds, locked the cat in and the garden is now full of blackbirds having a party

I love everything about this post, Knex.

TH that I'm rooting for Knex's neighbour to succeed where before he's failed. It can be an inspiration to all of us.

My mum bought bread because she thought it was funny that everyone was going mad over bread this week and she wanted to join in. So I took full advantage of it and made a sausage sandwich. Yum!

Walking home I saw a tabby kitty run under a of tree, they were peeking out at me and then started kneading the snow

Aldi was almost all out of bread today ... except for rye bread, which (a) I like a lot, since I was turned on to it by friends in in Denmark, (b) lasts a long time if stored in a sealed container, and (c) is fairly cheap. :cool:

A big bright moon shining on white snow and a strange stillness around the place . Beautiful

I live down a lane and can't get out to the road. Three different neighbours phoned today asking if I was ok. Good people.
