The doctor gets presents from P and postcards from me for all the care P gets.

I think that is very sweet that you give a gift to the pharmacy staff. My very good friend is a pharmacist and she commented that it was incredibly busy today at her work. Maybe everyone was doing the same as you. -Jenncoffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-71209660311220776682016-12-15T15:48:27.838-08:002016-12-15T15:48:27.838-08:00Suddenly very cold here today...not counting the v...Suddenly very cold here today...not counting the very strong wind into the picture, it was about 27 F...think that is -2.something C.<br /><br />It will be worse tomorrow.

It is -7C here (-17C with the wind chill) and the north wind today was so strong it was whipping the snow into mammoth drifts. You daren't go out unless well bundled up with several layers and a sturdy hat and gloves. I am just happy to know the shortest day is less than a week away!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224823051315463861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-80361008898350474752016-12-15T13:58:43.856-08:002016-12-15T13:58:43.856-08:00Haven't had the fog but like you it's been...Haven't had the fog but like you it's been so dark I have had lights on most of the day.

It is supposed to be colder again at the weekend I believe.
