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.
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!...............
Raining here, so let's hope it is bye-bye winter!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed. Very grey here too, not properly raining but not really dry either.
DeleteCloudy and dull here with showers. Your February plan sounds good.
ReplyDeleteAlison in Devon x
Hopefully the 28 days will fly by.
DeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWatching curling is good, as it's a possible chance for a medal here thank to the Scots!
DeleteIt’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
ReplyDeleteThere will probably be the odd sunny day here in February when spring seems closer but today is totally grey and dull
DeleteSo cold here this afternoon Sue…the wind has picked up and it’s keen. As the days get longer so the cold strengthens. X
ReplyDeleteSame happened here, the temperatures really went down as the afternoon turned to dark
DeleteGroundhog Day here so we are supposed to find out if we will have an early Spring or more Winter. I've never quite figured out how it works!?!
ReplyDeleteSomething to do with his shadow? there was a bit on TV news here today
DeleteIt is bright and sunny here (MA, US) and it is freezing cold. It looks like winter is not ending any time soon. I'll make more soup today and roast a chicken.
ReplyDelete6 More weeks of cold for you according to Groundhog day mentioned here today!
DeleteSounds like you've got February sorted! Cold grey and wet... hope your rhyme hold true.
ReplyDeleteMe too
DeleteVery interesting about Candlemas.
ReplyDeleteIt's been sunny and mild here but our California Rainy winter isn't over yet. We should get some soon and February and March can be some of our coldest and wettest months! Oh gosh, I love that pretty plate!
One of my 12 Diary of an Edwardian Lady plates. I forget what they are like by the time a year has passed by
DeleteI'm not looking forward to the sheer amount of sport being on my television, thank goodness there's BBC iPlayer with so many detective things for me to enjoy. Alan IS looking forward to Six Nations though, he's a rugby man through and through.
ReplyDeleteNow we are all intrigued by 'and other things' on your menu. ;-)
I'm watching my way through NCIS New Orleans - while the weather is horrible here but looking forward to Skiing and Curling.
DeleteThe 'and other things' means I've no idea what I'll cook up the rest of the week!
Grey and wet here with a sharp easterly wind.
ReplyDeleteSame here - got colder as the day went on.
DeleteForty eight years ago today I was walking down the aisle to the strains of Trumpet Voluntary on the most beautiful sunny February day in between days of stormy, winter weather! A few weeks later we were snowed in for a week!
