I do concede that probably mostof you've had more snow than me this week. But it still hit -5 last night!!

Stay in and keep warm!

This wretched disease has now arrived at my bowles and is causing problems. I'm shedding weight downstairs rapidly, whilst retaining (if not actually increasing…[Read more]
