I know this sounds ridiculous but has anyone noticed it's been lighter the last few nights.....we've had bright afternoons and clearer skies and my eyes have strayed to the clock to check the time and I swear we've added a few extra minutes:)

I thought the mornings were light for this time of year .

Only 17 days to the shortest day, that'll fly by now. Much easier to contend with now the end is in sight.

Might be just the lack of cloud, TM. Was glorious here this afternoon. And we are heading for a dizzying 13 degrees by next weekend, bringing a bit of rain with it, but after these frosty nights it will seem lovely and warm.

I'm struggling to stay awake but just realised that my nails are a mess. I think the smell of the nail varnish remover might just wake me up:rotfl:

Looking for any lunch deals in Chester (susie must know)no luck groupon or woucher or recommend good eating places.

off the top if my head Chez Jules - French and very lovely, 2 course fixed priced meals with daily change of menus

But I will have a proper think tomorrow - is this for lunch or evening, normal dining out or special occasion? Weekday or weekend?

meals don't seem to cone up very often on grpupon/livingsocial for Chester - I suppose it has so many tourists it does not have to try so hard. Sometimes you see good afternoon tea deals - Ive seen one recently for Blossoms which was excellent value.

I will join you on a list TM, but then I haven't actually entered yet.

Been busy weekend with DD1 down with Teeny. :A

And after they went had to cram both freezers into one, biggest game of tetris ever which Mr TS took charge of but we lost. :eek:

So a chicken defrosting for tomorrow and we ate apple pie and ice cream for afternoonses.

One freezer is sat on patio defrosting the other is in Mr TS's workshop hopefully just for the day.....and now there is a nice big gap in anticipation.
