I really like it when people put lights in outdoor trees at this time of year.

Funny weather we have been having. DW and I just went for a walk in the sun, with almost no clouds in the sky. Last Sunday was MIL's stone setting, and it bucketed down with rain all day. Looking on the bright side, it's only 3/4 weeks until the days start getting longer again.

I've just run upstairs and got all the tree/decorations out
Sitting here with my Santa hat jingling, with Xmas paper and the table I'm putting the tree on (once it's covered in Xmas paper).

If I am going to see Santa then I need to leave in the next couple of hours.... might go, might not. See how it goes.

Something MAJOR wrong with the tree...... it's got no dangling chocolates.

I need to find some Xmas tree chocolates to go on it .....

I can see you're having a fabulous time putting up Christmas in your own house for the first time. Enjoy

Have spent most of the afternoon transferring phone numbers from old phone to new phone ... couldn't get it to transfer via Bluetooth (not for want of effort and reading of phone manuals).

I nearly got cold and damp for nothing earlier today. I'd got it into my head that I needed to show someone round some vacant allotment plots; just as I put my boots and coat on, I thought "I'll just check I am meeting X at 10.30 (as opposed to some other time)".

Jolly good job I did too! I actually met the person last week at 10.30 and had nobody else booked in for today

Took the boots and coat off, retreated to do some admin on the PC in bed and here I still am, having had a warm and fairly effective day (and have arranged to show the next person round tomorrow) :cool:

There's also a calendar of birthdays here

Not easily searchable AFAIK.

I cam to bed for a 'quick nap' this afternoon. Haven't had one for two days and not getting as much done because dragging through. Fir said he'd wake me in and hour, but instead I slept all afternoon really and he woke me a short while ago with a pot of tea and a story about how I was singing in my sleep and talking a lot.

I've said before I don't pretend to be an artist, this picture. Behind the cat, proves it, ( would have been cute had it been done at school, but it was done of that cat!, lol) no resemblance at all, but for the weak chin)



That is an exceptionally unflattering photo of mauve squeaker though. She's dolly- teddy pretty / cute really. Not gawky and raw like that at all.

Slightly better picture of the squeaker

I've sold 120 hotdogs and a similar number of curry/chilli and rice/baked potato meals today, knackered. Amusement factor was asking the shortest member of the team whether the hot water urn needed topping up as she was not tall enough to look inside, I think we managed to make her try and look 6 times before she cottoned on....

No, but I'm looking at the exact same camera in the Argos sale, along with the Canon 510 and the Sony mentioned earlier.

The Fuji is tempting, lot of camera for the money, if it's any good.
