Wear three jumpers and a vest
And some woolly drawers M&S are the best
And thick warm socks 🧦
No summer frocks 🩱
And rub some Vick onto your chest.

                **********

A cosy blanket, slippers too
Thank goodness for an inside loo!
They had it hard in times gone bye
Could bring a tear now to my eye
So count your blessings, no matter how few.

Better late than never from me too  Happy New Year All  ! 

Well what DID happen  ?

Morning all, sunny and cold here with sleet forecast for later.
I got up this morning to find I'd left the electric heater on in the sitting room all night.  The Smart Meter was throwing a wobbly   

I've got vertigo, or is it labrynthitis or meniers disease, whatever, hoping to see a doctor later 

'Tis a cold winters day
They said snow is on the way
Stock up with milk and bread
Or gin is what you like instead
And there is a big bill on it's way


Wear three jumpers and a vest
And some woolly drawers M&S are the best

I think the ladies got confused about which sex is most prone to the sort of issue they imagined. Clearly Dex is offering first hand advice but I'm pleased to say it isn't needed. Well not yet anyway.

Happy New Year

Yes, I expect you're right.  

Where's Alex got to,  is she alright?

I've got my exercise class this afternoon.  I don't really feel like it, but I suppose I must make the effort.
