Thanks, Sue. I am so depressed with the ongoing cold and snowy winter. It just doesn't seem to be letting go this year. Last April, from 13th. onwards, we had temps in the mid and high 20's. This year, we are 10 degrees below normal!

Perhaps all the northern hemisphere is affected this year. Our winter was very long and often cold.
Now it's warm but not every day.
Bernard is working in the garden. He's displacing several plants before it's too late to move them. We planted a clematis, a red one, and we need to protect its root with shade of some sort. So he is planting small bushes to the south and west and while we wait for them to grow he is putting a small wall on both sides. No cement, just piled up.
We have little news from my elder son who is now in London looking for a job. I think he will have to wait a good while. I hope he doesn't give up and go back to Trinidad. We wouldn't want him to settle there for good. We'd never see him as Bernard refuses to fly there.
My MIL is very nervy and tense. There is an epidemic at the home. There's some intestinal virus and everyone is confined to their room. until mid May !
I can't put up with her ways so I've decided not to go to see her very often. I'm also going to ask the staff to do her laundry. She won't let me go to her wardrobe and doesn't change her clothes. I can't handle that.

I am sick to death of the snow. Below freezing temps for the rest of the week.
You can place a couple of flattish stones around the roots of your clematis. That's what I have done with the five I have and they do very well.
I hope your son has success in finding a job. I don't think it is easy anywhere right now. I have sent out almost 200 resumes since 1st. January, and have had one interview, which didn't offer a job. I am just resigning myself to the fact that getting a job is not likely, given my age, and the fact that I live so far from places where there are jobs. Employers prefer someone close, I suppose.
Is it really legal to confine everyone for 6 weeks?! I would have thought that the health dept. would have something to say about that. I can see restricting movements and visitors. That was done at a few nursing homes here last year. There were quite a few deaths, unfortunately, before the virus was controlled.
It is probably for the best if you don't keep trying to be there for her. It seems like she doesn't appreciate the attention.

Oh Kat, she likes the visits a lot, but just has no idea how she appears to others. This lady is a very anxious person but lacks a certain type of imagination. She is not going potty but is losing her sense of reality too. Her memory is very bad. She's strong in body but the only morale she has is a battle for her dignity and her sense of what is right. That's hard to handle when she doesn't realise what is suitable for her.
As for rules about confining people to their rooms, well I suppose it's legal in such a service. They have some very weak old folk there who are bed-ridden. It's not just a home for the elderly. There is another section for other types of old people, like those who are mentally weak.
We are asked to put on disposable overalls and gloves on entering, and to throw them away on leaving. That's to prevent the germ moving around into the other parts. The staff take extra measures and the dining room is closed. Still I have seen several of the old folk in one room talking.
It's a shame this came just as MIL was making a few friends. They haven't closed their doors. They just ask them not to leave their rooms.
When she first went there she expected to die very quickly, so she didn't care about her surroundings. To her great surprise she has recovered pretty well. She's not doing any work and eats more.
So she has realised that she now lives there, and that her clothes are there, and that the wardrobe is hers. So she doesn't want me to touch the clothing, just at she didn't want me to in her flat. I couldn't fetch her anything from her wardrobe. Bernard neither.
She thinks I shall move everything around and unfold it and she's have all the bother of putting it all back properly. It's a bit of a mania. I don't care, but I'm not handling her laundry in such circumstances.
Of course she is not happy to live there and even mentioned going back to her flat the other day which is out of the question.
We are NOT going to be there 24 hrs a day any more. She needs someone at nights. We can't afford to employ people.
We've explained several times but she forgets. So as before we are waiting for her to die. At least we can now get away a bit and shall do as soon as the weather permits it.
All that sounds very callous. I suppose I've become so.
I'm OK otherwise.

Thank you, Lea. I always did love this script!

you are welcome, I wish I could use more of them but I get all aggravated between the scripts and the darn plugins. I have worked for hours in my folders, with the spreadsheet for plugins, then still they don't work with the scripts, so I gave up. If I can use one occasionally, I will. But it is very few and far between!

This script is from the original 2.05 version. It does not use any of the new plugins. It works very well with the 2.08 beta. I can send it to you if you want.

Thanks, Mark. I haven't been doing too much with apo lately. I'm afraid the terrible weather has me so bloody depressed.....
And it snowed again yesterday, with more for today and tomorrow and Thursday. When will it ever end?!

Snow. Yes, we had it in Peterborough too. "Merry Christmas!!" That's what I've been saying at work all day today - and more on the way for Wednesday. It will end... sometime... soonish....i hope...
I've been having a little fun with it this year. At work, there is a corner in our parking lot where they push most of the snow. This year I held a contest for who could come closest to guessing the date the snow would finally melt. 'Finally' is the operative word. Because it had all melted two weeks ago, but lo and behold, this morning, there is a new snow bank! So the challenge is back on. It's a good thing I didn't delete all those emails!! The winner gets a 30$ gift certificate. But when it's all said and done, I'd rather be wearing shorts, and somewhere warm!!

I don't understand how anyone can have FUN with snow! Blame it on my age, maybe, but I'd just as soon never see snow again, EVER!!
Good luck to the contenders in your snow bank melting contest!
Hey, did you catch the Man U vs Porto game? 2 all draw, so Man U are only 1 point ahead of Villareal in Group E. They play Porto in the second leg on 14th., so keep your

I did not catch any games this week. Last month I was getting Setanta free - now I miss it, incredibly. I will be moving soon, so I probably will get the Sports package when that happens. Also, I've been so busy at work (only one day off this weekend) I haven't been able to watch anything but hockey in the evenings, and catching some highlights on Sportscentre (and they rarely show many soccer highlights).
I will keep my fingers crossed - just for you!!

Where are you moving to? Somewhere warm, I hope!
And thanks for the fingers crossed.

Just across town, into a condo. No more shoveling for me!
