February Plans

It can be just as cold and grey in February as it is in January and just as likely to get snow. The last big snowfalls here were at the end of Feb 2018 and then the beginning of February 2021 so we are possibly due for another. 

My February will be spent mainly at home again, keeping warm and there'll be plenty to keep me company on the TV as the Winter Olympics start on Friday and the first of this years 6 nations rugby matches is on Thursday, so lots of good sport coming up.

The mobile library is round this week with more books for me - not many crime this time but several non-fiction for a change. They might be  for reading or just for browsing.
There will be Keep Moving Group, maybe a church visit and not a lot else.






Today is Candlemas which I've written about many times before like HERE in 2024 and  HERE in 2019  
And I've also mentioned February weather folklore many times so just one rhyme today............
 

 If Candlemas day be fair and bright
Then winter will have another flight
If Candlemas day be clouds and rain
Winter is gone and will not come again


Monday meal plan for the week in no particular order...........

Leek and Bacon Pilaff + Chunk of home made focaccia bread 
Mini pizzas ( from freezer -uneaten from Christmas) and salad leaves
Quorn Korma curry (one of the batch made recently) with rice and some party extras (bhajis)

and other things!...............

    1. Fingers crossed. Very grey here too, not properly raining but not really dry either.

  2. Cloudy and dull here with showers. Your February plan sounds good.

  3. I love the Olympics, even the most unlikely sports like curling. Annoyed that someone coaxed me into organizing an event on Friday during the Opening Ceremonies! My sisters and I enjoy when we recognize an athlete leading his/her delegation (also, they are identified) and occasionally text each other making fun of some of the uniforms.

    1. Watching curling is good, as it's a possible chance for a medal here thank to the Scots!

  4. It’s a delight when everyone in Britain begins to talk about spring in February. Here it is a cloudy, cold & snowy month with another to follow. DL

    1. There will probably be the odd sunny day here in February when spring seems closer but today is totally grey and dull

  5. So cold here this afternoon Sue…the wind has picked up and it’s keen. As the days get longer so the cold strengthens. X
