January DOES bring the snow.

               

Good Morning at last we have some real winter weather its snowing heavy at the moment. It came on about 7am as far as I can make out, have just come back from our local wee shop as we were in need of milk and bread and of course a paper for Stuart, I don't think he could survive a day without one.
Have had a busy week as I told you last week with the addition of another Audiology appointment yesterday as I had to be measured up for new moulds and the audiologist did not have time on Monday when I was there.
Think I mentioned in my last entry I was going to get my Playstation out of the loft. Stuart got it down for me on Sunday but we had a lot of bother getting it tuned in to our portable always have done but this time it would not hold the signal. I had decided to get another portable just for the playstation as they are very reasonable in price nowadays so on Monday after my hospital appointments we went to the retail park a bought a nice little one. What a difference not having to trail it back and forward from the kitchen to the lounge every time we want to play.
Yesterday was having a look in the game shop not many of then stock games for PS1 nowadays but this one does used games.  I choose one a snip at £2-99 and took it to the cashier only to be told they are BOGOF just now so did'nt I do well. So with with all the games I had plus two new ones I am all set so it can be bad weather and I will not get fed up a all, not meaning to be selfish but I do love to play. Have cleared the memory card so I will have to start all the games again quite an undertaking. So off now to see how I get on with Lara Croft in Egypt, 'Tomb Raider IV' for those of you that are not as silly as me.
I have been trying to play games on the PC but online you can't save your game and it gets to me still love my Book Worm but I have that on disc so I get a save on that. Will go now bye bye,

If your PC is up to spec try Metaboli gaming it lets you play games on your PC = real ones - big ones - for a monthly rental and is great. I join every now and again to play one the games right through.

Hi Joan,
It snowed here this morning too, but was too wet to stay on. I think I am too close to the sea! But it was nice to watch it falling! Stay warm and enjoy your games,
Kate.

Hi Joan, I bet the snow doesnt half look pretty. I hate cold stuff though. Today in Burnley we had strong gale force winds, a lot of trees have come down, cars crushed, roofs blown off etc. The shop sign at the place I work broke loose so we had to get security to remove it before it fell and killed somebody. Then the electrics went on the blink on and off. Fortunately when I got home we had had no structural damage.
I've never got into playing games like you, prefer a crossword or sudoku. Maybe I should give it a go someday.
Love Cathy.  xxx
