Much as I love the Brontë sisters, I thought this was hilarious.

I hope you enjoy it too.

Winter weather

I hate the cold weather and it has been below freezing all day today. Tomorrow it is going to be -6c and it’s getting beyond a joke. The snow is just piled up everywhere and each morning we just wake up to even more of the horrible stuff.

We haven’t been able to get to our relatives to give them their Christmas presents either so Christmas is going to be delayed this year, until the roads are safe to drive on again.

Winter has come, the snow has fell,
Wee Josie’s nose is froze as well,
Wee Josie’s nose is frozen skintit,
Winter’s diabolic – intit!

I thought that I would inflict a terrible piece of Scottish doggerel poetry on you, just in case you weren’t feeling bad enough!

Dad's Army

Dad's Army cover

I was lucky enough to be given the Dad’s Army boxed set as a Christmas present. It has taken me till now to finish watching them all but I’ve had a great time doing it. Amazingly there were a few that I don’t remember ever having seen before. They were an absolute life saver during the past couple of months when I kept thinking that the news couldn’t get much worse – and then it did. I think they should be available on prescription for people with depression. I read recently that sufferers improved hugely when they watched hours of comedies. It actually changes the brain patterns. Well, it’s got to be better than popping pills.
