On Weather And A Break In

A warm welcome to my new follower, Jennifer :)

Well it's 9.20am and it's still so dark here that I need the light on to type this :/  Yesterday was bitterly cold and we have had torrential rain over the last couple of days too.  There was a light covering of frost when I woke up and more is forecast for tonight.  I feel so lucky though compared to parts of the US.  The news last night reported temperatures of up to minus 30 there and the footage showed so much flooding and damage.  My heart goes out to anyone affected.

What's the weather doing near you?

I am furious....on Tuesday night 2 men in hoodies broke into the local food bank.  It's held in a church and CCTV filmed them breaking in.  They broke down doors and ransacked the building.  They couldn't have broken in for the food because the only things taken were Christmas puddings, mince pies, chocolate, computer equipment and donated money.  The worst thing is that it forced the food bank to remain closed whilst they cleaned up the mess and got the doors replaced.  How could they do that to their own community?  The food bank currently helps around 200 people. I so hope they get caught....

Today will be another family day.  DD & family are coming this afternoon so I want to get some fresh bread rolls to make hot dogs for tea (I already have sausages and onions) and then I want to make Millionaire's Shortbread for afters.  It's one of their favourites.  An extra donation will be made to the food bank too...grrr...

I used the last of my Boots points to buy a couple of toiletries for DD; shampoo and anti-bac hand wash for their kitchen (handy for use after the kids feed the rabbit) so they were FREE, my favourite price :)

Anyway, I must get a wriggle on now that the rain has paused.

Thanks everso for popping in and do stay safe x
