We went to the big Tesco again today. My Mum didn't know if she'd be up for coming but in the end she did and she sat on a bench again while he went round the shop. I got rid of the soft recycle and then we went up on the lift....

Sharon Elton @xFiacre No snow here at the moment but they're predicting snow storms for tomorrow. I'm sorry your lunch out didn't go to plan.

Some nights you just want to have something simple, filling, and still good to eat for dinner. So, we just decided to make ham and cheese sandwiches on toasted bread. I fried up some onions and sliced some tomato and we added...

I'm not going shopping to the little Tesco today because it has SNOWED! (See picture above.) When I got up this morning and saw the snow on the back garden I was horrified! I don't like snow. It's OK on pictures or on Christmas...

Isn’t English weird? The past of teach is taught, but the past of preach is preached, but not praught, as you might think it ought to be. And I just came across another linguistic oddity. The white powder descended from the sky...

Fleur @xFiacre The other day I heard a member of the House of Lords condemning someone else's use of hyperbole - except she pronounced it 'hyper-bowl'. How embarrassing on national radio!

Today’s date, the twentieth of November, issues forth with a sober and serious tone when said aloud, don’t you think? There’s certainly nothing twinkly about it, in fact if dates were occupations this one would be a bank manager...

Today is the first time I’ve actually felt cold this winter, and the first I’ve worn a sweater outside. The temperature has dropped to 4 degrees, the sky is piercingly blue and the strong, cold shafts of light coming like arrows...

The atmosphere in my kitchen this morning is one of warmth, comfort and security. And nostalgia. A pot of apples is stewing away happily, cooking apples infused with cloves, cinnamon, ginger, lemon juice and a splash of brandy....

Late this afternoon, as dusk was starting to gather, I took myself out into the back garden with a bottle of red wine. A mild November afternoon it was, the air full of the smell of decay and the trees almost devoid of leaves....

With 30 degrees Celcius two days ago, I thought winter would be here only when pigs fly. In hindsight, I see how wrong I was! The chilly winds from the Ganges mingling with the scent of Shiuli flowers...
