@Steampunk_Prof Morning Prof 👋😊

Bludy freezing here & we still have enough snow to make travelling to & from the main roads hazardous!

Thankfully we still have a ‘round robin’ bus service that serves the nearby villages so at least the ‘main’ road up the hill is gritted!

I’ll send you a sample in the post 😜

Have a good day my friend 😊🫶🐿️🖖

@skyfire747 Hey Puzzler 👋😊

Hope you had a good day my friend! 😊🫶🐿️🖖

@skyfire747 Excellent!

Hope you have a good Sunday! 😊🫶🐿️🖖

@UnclePJ G’day PJ 👋😊

Great minds think alike!

We’ve just polished the day off with a Chinese takeaway - I do miss fried rice, don’t wanna risk Geoff getting too upset with the shrimps!

Enjoy what’s left of your day mate 😊🫶🐿️🖖

😊🫶🐿️🖖

Chinese is always a good time! We make most of ours at home, since we only recently had one pop up in town. We’ve managed to get pretty good at it, so we only go out when we’re feeling like something we can’t make ourselves.

I’m not sure who Geoff is and why he’d be upset about the shrimp, though!

It’s been a good quiet day. We’re in for more snow over the next few days, so there’ll be more like it to come.

Hope you’ve slept well! 😁🤙

@UnclePJ Morning PJ 👋😊

Geoff is my gouty left big toe - he is sensitive to puritans (ok purines, but I prefer my version 😆) & sea food is jam packed with them - meat is not ideal but sadly shrimps / prawns etc are basically like tormenting a mad bull!

We have another quiet day here - I spent parts of this morning playing a new game - Dragons Dogma 2 - which is a very different sort of game to the RPGs that I’m used to. I’m not sure that keeping track of 3 ‘followers’ is going to help me.

Settled down now we’ve had launch to watch Mrs S’s detective shows.

Hope you & Auntie PJ have a most excellent day 😊🫶🐿️🖖

Afternoon Maj1 😀🤙

Gout, is it then? Yikes, that has to be rough. I guess we learn to live with the things that hamper us, though. Sounds like you’re doing a fine job and not letting Geoff ruin your day.

I’ve put off clearing the drive yesterday. So, I have that chore to do after lunch, which will commence presently.

Give Mrs. S a hug and pat those kitties for us.

Cheers!

@UnclePJ Thanks PJ 😊

I wrote a long piece on gout for you, forgive me I have pinched it for my diary as others may be interested.

I hope that you have finished your chores & are having a relaxing end to your weekend.

😊🫶🐿️🖖

Thanks Maj1 😄

I’ll have to give it a read. I know very little about it, other than it is a foot issue. Something about alcohol has some impact on its severity.

I managed to clear the drive, just in time for some more snow! ❄️❄️

Hope you have a nice quiet evening and a good night’s sleep! 😁🤙

@UnclePJ One of the things I forgot to mention is that it’s a form of arthritis, also that the pain is caused by the uric acid in ones blood reaching levels where it crystallises & with glass like sharpness shreds the joint!

Good job on the drive - thankfully the thaw is setting in so not a problem I need worry about for a few days!

I did thanks I hope you both did too! 😊🫶🐿️🖖

We did, thanks!

Auntie PJ has doctor’s appointments for most of the day, and I’ll be working from home.

We’ve had a couple of thaws this year. Right now we have about two of the probably 5-6 feet of snow we’ve received left on the ground. It’ll probably have another 4-5 inches of snowfall today and tomorrow. It just snows a lot here.

Other than the constant “mowing the driveway” as I like to say, it’s really is a joy to see and I still enjoy the muted sounds. When it’s not blowing sideways, that is. 😂

@UnclePJ I think that we will ‘enjoy’ more snowy winters for a few decades to come!

Hope you’re day is going well my friend 😊🫶🐿️🖖

Une partie des NFP sont d'ores et déjà sur Bluesky, il me semble.
