We are getting our precipitation in the form of snow, and it is really quite lovely,- every night someone sends a new blanket down to keep things pristine. With the full moon on Christmas Eve it was all very romantic, but alas, that is no consolation for you, Pat.

My mother used to say 'eating up the oughts' too and I really don't know the origin of it, although I feel I should. Best wishes to your son. Eyes are so important but it is amazing what surgeons can do nowadays with instruments so fine they leave no scarring, nor even blood. We've been walking along the Thames Path today near Cookham (Stanley Spencer country) and remembering when the flood plain and roads were five feet under water a couple of years ago.

On the nature reserve here, the ditches are full but we have no where near the amount of water that we've had in recent winters.<br />Like everybody else, it is so difficult to imagine how awful it must be to experience such regular flooding in such a short time.Derek Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140363868104172311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-7936977390745857192015-12-28T07:10:32.167-08:002015-12-28T07:10:32.167-08:00Great to hear you are not too badly affected by th...Great to hear you are not too badly affected by the atrocious weather.<br />I love potatoes, boiled, finely chopped or gently mashed and then fried with vegetables until nice and crispy on one side.

It is sleeting here now after tons of rain, some snow to come then the system moves out. From 70 degrees Christmas day to 33 degrees this morning. Floods, tornadoes, and winds I thought were going to blow the roof off. My son's fence blew down in the gale. We don't do weather like this as no one seems to be able to drive when it happens. Glad you are able to get out. We'll hope for an early spring. That would make it bearable.
