jetlagged but here at last
met the wife maria yesterday at terminal 4 heathrow. plane was 20 mins early and only had to wait about 40 for her to go through immigration etc. glad i had the sense to take warm clothes as it was the coldest day so far as she wouldnt stop telling me
we got back home after train journeys early evening but she was so tired went to bed at seven. up at eight this morning and went to my local to meet my friends after i had cooked a large english brunch.i think she enjoyed listening to our conversations but didnt join in much as she was still feeling tired, fell asleep in the afternoon and went back to bed after dinner at seven. so all in all my kids havent seen much of her yet, hopefully if she is feeling better tomorrow we can put up the chrissy tree etc.the living room is so hot i keep nodding off myself

Congrats for another happy couple!
I awoke this morning and noticed our car covered with frost as well as grass in the garden. This is the start of winter for me
. But she will be happy seeing snow later.
Let her keep warm!

Ah, Ian ... it all sounds soooo familiar, mate! Myrna's flight came in nearly half an hour early, too ... 06.00 hrs ... except SHE'D flown into Manchester Airport - where I'D "hung around" all night beforehand. Brrr!

Like you, I had had the good sense to bring along a large handgrip full of warm clothing ... as it was still just early March when Myrna arrived. Reckon the likes of British Gas should be doing a roaring trade on the Stock Market very soon - with the heating bills you and I can expect to pop through our respective letterboxes this winter, if the past few days are anything to go by. It's 
freezing up in Jockland as well, man!
Great to know that Maria got here safe and sound - in spite of the jetlag!

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

Then second time there was snow, i made a ball but it didn't look like really a ball because I can't make it round.
I had a good sleigh ride and practiced ice skating.
I have experienced snow all over the loch of Scotland, been to highlands of Scotland and seen alpines from Schiehallion mountain. I feel I am an eskimo loosing my sense of humour.

thanks all for your kind messages, and no this is her first time away from phil. ive just shown her how to use a vaccum cleaner as she not used to carpets, next is the washing machine and the dryer. the jetlag is wearing off and i think she is getting better used to the cooler temps even with the heating on. later we will be putting up and decorating the tree before doing our first grocery shop Originally Posted by South-east boy

i think you got the wrong impression
i do more than my fair share of the housework in fact ive done all of it this week including cooking and washing up. apart from the weather there isnt anything she doesnt like, she spent 2 hours on skype with her family today excitedly talking in visaya about the house , pub and local morrisons. friday we are going with a group of friends to cheltenham to do some shopping for more winter clothes, a good excuse to pop into witherspoons to get warm
