🎄Happy Boxing Day 🎄

Thanks for all the pics folks........really need to work out how to do photos! Lovely to see you all 🙂

Christmas Day Pleasures
1. Quiet time before everyone else woke up.
2. Present opening with Buck's Fizz and Christmas tunes. Everyone was pleased with their gifts.
3. Posh Xmas breakfast buffet of croissants and choice of fillings. (Forgot the cream cheese so had Brie instead!).
4. Dinner was ready for 3pm. Crackers were a bargain from last year, so popped in a scratch card, and 3 of Us were winners! Food was a success. No room for pudding until 9pm 🤣
5. Played Kufu and watched Soul en famille. DH and I went to bed about 10pm, leaving the young people to work their way through their Xmas stocking bottles of spirits 🙄

There have Also been moments of serious arguments amongst the young people ☹️

Have a lovely day 🙂

Good morning

Sounds as if there have been some good Christmas days in the parish, despite everything.

Love the photos.   No one ever looks the way I imagine them!!  I remember a Radio Luxemburg DJ  with the sexiest voice, and when I saw a picture of him he was ancient!! I was about 15 so he was probably about 40! I went right off him. Now I'm ancient and everyone in photos looks young!

S Sue -  I hope your day went well, and that visitors were allowed in your area. Wishing you seasonal love and peace.

D for V - I thought of you x

We had a lovely day.  DD and partner came for dinner and stayed all afternoon.   It was lovely and felt very relaxed.  Lots of lovely, thoughtful presents all round.   Some of the best received were the cheapest, but absolutely perfect for the recipient.  Very MSE here.

Lots of texts, whatsapp, messenger etc with absent friends, near and far.  Technology has helped a lot recently.

After the visitors had gone, and a little lie down, I decided to tidy round in the kitchen.   I was wiping the inside of the oven door, and it came unfastened at one hinge!! I'm glad it waited until after the dinner was cooked!  We decided to shut it until a later date. And have a drink and a think.

And now back to 'normal'.  Going to check out the sales for warm jumpers ( not today though). I fear there may be a few more weeks of meeting on park benches.

Happy Boxing day everyone

Happy to read that many had a good Christmas 🎄 day 😊
We had a cooked breakfast at our Christmas set table in the new kitchen/diner with lots of twinkly lights and candles and the fire roaring - very civilised 
Ditto Christmas lunch but with the doors and window open as son turned up and stayed for lunch 😊
Lunch was a success and also enjoyed by the oldies we delivered to
Lots of lovely presents including Escape to the Chateau book, the Yorkshire Shepherdess book, a Himalayan salt lamp as well as smellies and choccies! 🎁
Lots of whatsapps and photos exchanged with the family throughout the day
Chilled afternoon and evening on our own with a bit of tv, reading and a glass of port 🍷
Have an enjoyable, peaceful Boxing Day 😊

Loving the sound of the Christmas celebrations.
For yesterday,
It was just the two of us, or three if you count small dog, but a lovely day was had.

We had some lovely presents, including a large number of books and treats, small dog was delighted with her new rope toy but as always the best bit for her was ripping up the wrapping paper.

Lunch was tasty and it took a good long walk afterwards before we could face the trifle!

Cold and sunny with a beautiful sunset, no snow although reportedly cathedral city had some.

Playing Yahtzee and cards in the evening with a programme listing the top 50 songs from the 80’s playing in the background, much singing along going on and this become increasingly silly as the level on the bottle went down 😉

Amp

it was tugging at me yesterday and this morning it 'came' to me.  You look like a Christmas Genie that's just popped out of a magic lamp.  The hairstyle, scarves, swirling around your feet.

It must be true because you certainly do not look your human age.............

Big kiss
