The warmer temperatures and yesterday's rain helped clear the roads - our lane was totally clear today, but our trackway very icy and I nearly slid out sideways onto the lane. I put my mask on and trudged round Tesco, but have to say I was quite tired when I came out from pushing the trolley round (cat food is never light), nor tins etc either. I kept in 2nd gear and drove onto the ice slick and made it straight up the incline and into the yard. Phew. Right, everything put away and if it blows a blizzard tomorrow, I've got it covered. I had a quick jigsaw hunt in the charity shops and Cefynllys School charity shop had these in, for £1 each.
This lovely colourful one shouldn't be too difficult to do as lots of different colours in it.
I am going to rest up now. Clearly my upper body strength needs some working on, especially as I have a Fair next month.
Oooh, nearly forgot, Keith's Lufwaffe photograph album is in auction at the end of the month and they have given it a very glowing write-up, so fingers x'd . . .
Sorry, my brain not up to much in the way of words.
Yes, all our ice and snow vanished overnight, it was quite short-lived really wasn't it. At nearly all our previous addresses it was just getting to the road that was the hardest thing in bad weather, I'm glad you managed to get out, and back in safely.
ReplyDeleteYou did well to nab a couple of 500 piece jigsaws, they seem the rarest in charity shops these days and just £1 each is amazing. Good luck selling Keith's photo album. xx
There's still some here on the higher hills. My farm track/bridleway treacherous until it warms up properly.
DeleteI thought I had a good buy on the jigsaws too. We seem to get a reasonable selection of 500s round here.
I've always been leary of getting puzzles from thrift shops, etc. because I'm afraid all the pieces won't be there. Perhaps I worry for nothing. :-) Love, Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteWell, if they're not, they're not. You can do as much as possible and if one or two pieces missing, can't be helped. Over here they normally count the pieces.
DeleteAfter my hassle with my latest puzzle I'm thinking about 500 pieces in future
ReplyDeleteOur snow has mostly gone, but the pavements are still icy. Bus today and bus tomorrow for me I think. All being well the car will get an outing on Saturday
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you finally made it out the door, and managed to get around on the ice.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Well done on getting out.
