Stormy Weather

[Anna]

Someone's obviously been nicking our warmth!

'Twas the thieving Welsh S_A, after a grey and gloomy start it was suddenly blue sky and sun and the temperature reached just below 8° by 3.30pm. Sorry!
I noticed today three trees covered in white blossom (Winter Cherry?) that were not in bloom two days ago and this afternoon - the sound of lawnmowers and strimmers from far and wide. So, Spring has Sprung and I have had (still have) the windows open! Bound to be cold and frosty tonight though as so clear and a beautiful sunset now developing over the hill.

Best wishes to marthe for her husband's speedy recovery and to saly for her voice to be restored and of course to ferney - keep taking the liquid gold, whisky is such a good cure for coughs and colds.

Ooh; I love Penderyn - the pilot light bursting into life with the first sip (one swallow doth a Summer make!) then a gentle reassurance that all things are well and all manner of things shall be well; and that lovely almond-y aftertaste. Welsh Gold, indeed!

As heartwarming a post as I have ever read on t'Forum, that!

Thanks ferns - it made me

[Nick Armstrong]

Yes; and turn the corner onto Gargrave Road and you can get a three-piece suite, a kebab and a Tattoo as well!

You are properly cheering me up, ferney!!

However, 8o has also caught my interest with mention of Stainforth's pork pies! Should be trying to get hold of same? (ammy will testify to the importance of the pork pie...)

Yes they are the business caliban....bought fresh and hot with marvellous juice [later to be jelly] runs down your wrist if you aren't quick....

I see they can be ordered online...

Following your earlier suggestion, I put aside the pharmacist Linctus and the paracetemols and had a large Tallisker last night. Slept undisturbed for 9 hours for the first time in three weeks and woke feeling much better than I have done in a long time! Tallisker on the NHS?

Slàinte!

Ah, yes Talisker!! Way to go Ferney!! :)

I seem to be feeling a lot better today than i have been in a while. Bit overcast today but the sun seems to want to come out and play!!!

I agree with Cali about the importance of the pork products but I think you need to look out for Stanforth's rather than Stainforth's on t'net

Yes Mr Google and his all-knowing robots performed the necessary correction!

I have just seen Brummie Simon's forecast.

He predicts just one more sunny day - tomorrow - followed by a slide into wettish weather, but on the mild side apart from Scotland, lasting until early next week, when I'm afraid we will all be back to cold easterlies, with low rainfall amounts, which are expected to last through for most of the remainder of the month.

Thanks for that dear S_A. I think I would rather not know as still have a very nasty cough which keeps me awake at night. I like a drop of Scotch, but feel it would be difficult to cope with atm.

... sorry to hear that, salymap. There seems to be a lot of it about. We've had sore throats and nasty gunky coughs here - and it has dragged on for more than a week now - very wearisome

[eighthobstruction]

salymap....I bet that the coughing is bad for your back too....bestizio x

It's bad for the neighbours too. Ths is semi detached with bedrooms in the middle. Ah well, get better all of you.
