Winter

[Diane CBPFC]

We have lost a lot of the snow from the roofs and decks but still a lot on the ground.

Tarqs - I do love crisps too and of course I got some.  The thing I craved for most was some little plants to pot together and was lucky to find a few mini spring plants (not many available), I assembled them into a kitchen table spring garden which has cheered me up all week. I also got a whole bunch of fresh fruit and veggies. 

Hubby did bring things home - mostly eggs and milk and once he got a bunch of bananas.

Talking about "The Great Escape" I dug my little dog Rowley out of a pickle after all the snow slid off the roof in one fell swoop and trapped him in a pocket of safety. Also I am listening to such an interesting audio book called Prisoners of the Castle by Ben MacIntyre who also wrote Rogue Heroes. Real men's stories but put together in a storytelling way with a great narrator.  It is one of those books that will stay with me.

Is Diamond Lil up and about and walking yet?

Also was DL able to see "Song Sung Blue"?

Um...no and no.
She got home at the end of December but is in a wheelchair for the foreseeable future. She is also still in a lot of pain with nurses coming in daily to help her in and out of bed. Her daughter---my niece---is staying with her at the moment and that's a big help. Typically, my sister remains upbeat but I know she's in considerable, almost constant, pain.
Thanks for asking, Diane. I have already passed on your earlier good wishes and those of others on this board. They were much appreciated.

Well that sucks.
