Ne'er Cast A Clout.....

Well, as they say (and who are they anyway?) Ne'er cast a clout 'ere May be out.

There is some debate as to whether that is the month of May or the may blossom.

However, yesterday saw the removal of all my thermals (I know, I know, but I am a cold person)

In the middle of the night I was too warm and removed my pyjamas.

Then, back in bed, I realised that the night store heaters would come on soon, so I went through to the living room to turn it off. I had not shut the curtains in the living room, of course........

However I reckoned that if anyone was around at that time of night they would get a bigger fright than I would. After all, what can you do, but wave?

Today I have been punished for this as it is a rather wet day.

However, The Best Sister In The World called round with canine friend, and we had a cup of tea and a biccie. She also changed the light bulb in the hall for me (I am forbidden to do such tasks in case of a fall).

I am having rather a struggle with my current jigsaw. This serves me right for choosing a difficult one for sister's birthday..... I am in need of something of a breakthrough and then it should take off a bit better.

Sis and friend came in through the French windows, and I could gather that the temperature is still good. It is drier outside and the sun looks as though it is trying to struggle through.

Elaine,

Never was a truer word said.. we are having more ups and downs weatherwise this year than every before (it seems).. will we ever see the end of the wintry weather we have been experienced... though last weekend was nice and warm (and meant washing dried outside for a change) we are now back to cold wet days...

Thanks for your recipe for Tinkers casserole have given it a bit plug it was very very nice and just what I needed last night.. Boss and I enjoyed it very much, he even said how nice it was, I had to tell him it was from you.. can't take the credit this time :-)

Actually it may have looked quite warm but there was a very cold east wind. A purchase of a VERY warm, long, fleece from the charity shop (for all of £4.50!) was gratefully received by partner for walk with furry friends in the afternoon, then borrowed back by me for evening out to local event.
