Gerrit

 Yet another storm...we are having 40 mph gusts, with stronger overnight, and yet more rain with added hail.

I think that they should have shut the snow gates much earlier....and people should have heeded the weather forecast and warnings.

Indoors jobs today

The district nurse came today and she has been having problems with her central heating like us...both sorted now, thankfully..ours was an air pressure diaphragm which is supposed to keep the water pressure up, hers was a damp control box.

She was pleased with Pirate..but we will all be glad when he hears from the hospital about his next step.

Tidying and sorting continues...and Pirate has joined in on his Stuff!!

I am getting pieces of old jeans ready to patch my favourite shoulder bag...from the inside, as it is black. The bag that I mended at Xmas time in NZ last year is definitely worse for wear now. It doesn't help that the black cloth that I bought in Geraldine has faded a little so no longer matches the bag! But it has done a good job for the past year.

...be sure to put rocks in your pockets so you don't blow away!

Oh, Tom's advice is so right on the money! Glad to hear the nurse is pleased with Pirate. We have high hopes for him.

Glad you have your central heating sorted. All the best to Pirate.

You are getting hammered by these storms! Are they bringing snow in or just pounding you with wind and rain?

Better yet, bar the door and keep your feet inside!!!

It's not over yet! hope the storm passes without further ado your neck of the wood. It's so mild in sunny surrey you wouldn't know it was happening we are lucky to be so sheltered. Wishing you lots of good things in 2024, a positive plan to manage Pirate's Health challenges and have qualit time together and some time for you to be creative, your sewing/patching sounds relaxing, I am looking out for some red vintage velvety material to make an evening bag... half the fun is the hunt! Happy New Year to you and yours. Betty.

No snow yet, here, but we are getting hail mixed in with the rain.
