Merry Christmas 2010

Well it's here again, and this time its a white Christmas. It's a long, long time since i can remember one, i think i was a small child.
Almost a month now of this freezing weather, and it looks like there is more to come.

We are having a gammon joint for Christmas dinner this year, and the aroma coming from the kitchen is really nice. Just when i need to lose weight i shall, no doubt, be putting some on. Bring on the sprouts!

We are going to Andrew & Suzannes for Boxing Day, i am looking forward to that, and i know there will be lots of salad, which i need to eat!

I hope everyone reading this has a really nice time, and i welcome a chat on msn (tonypne@hotmail.com) or Skype(tonypne). Also my Facebook name is Tony McKay-Rhodes.

Look forward to hearing from you.

the BIG freeze

The big freeze continues in the UK. Last night was the 14th consecutive night where the temperature was below freezing, and on some nights it has gone as low as -12C round where we live.

The forecasters say it will be the same for at least another four days, with more snow. Luckily we have not had the heavy snow that other places in the Uk have had.

On the up side it means we get another cold weather payment of £25- for each period of 7 days where the temperature has been below zero!

I just had some of my home made mushroom soup- it doesnt half make you feel warmer!

Our friend , Robbo has now moved to Hong Kong from London. He is selling insurance policies. Over there it is around 30c almost every day and he seems to be enjoying the experience.

thats all for now! i must get some Christmas presents bought this week!
