Woke up to a warmer temperature than it was when we went to bed last night, 2.1°C. It remained a cold, blustery day climbing up to 5°C by late afternoon, together with the wind we had rain and sleet, those a few miles further north got freezing rain and snow.
Given the lousy weather we brought our weekly shopping day forward and headed up into Folely. Not too much had changed, there was some new construction in the retail area, so maybe they are recovering from the financial meltdown that seemed to hit the south quite hard.
Today is Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) down here,I always knew it as Shrove Tuesday, a day for pancakes, lemon juice and sugar when we were kids. It seems to be a big thing as the kids get two days off school for it. There are plenty of parades to mark the event, but we decided to leave them all to freeze their butts off this year!
After lunch Lyn headed over to crafts and got a warm welcome from people she met last year. I hung around in the trailer working on electronic, computers and model aircraft.
Tomorrow’s temperature is forecast to be 62°F, hopefully the forecasters will get it right.
Happy Birthday Barbara!!!!!!
