ampersand

Welcome Shelits-🤲,
DG for your son's return home and your shared day🫶.
1. Here's another who put laundry out in the sunny bitter cold this morning. Will soon find out how it is.🤞 Remember lifting an aran jumper off the line in SW France one frozen morning and it kept its shape! 😀
2. Last sunset of 2025 was fierce and fiery up on The Gallops. 

3. Emporium carpark stuffed this arvo, worse than Christmas, huge delays.  Handed in a smart solicitor's carrier with package inside, found on ground beside Doblo.

4. Instead of birthday bits, &'s Sarcoma UK fundraiser is well underway.
5. Bin men came and very welcome they were.

Hearing even more extreme EXTREME cold and icy roads+temps forecast, plans changed.  No coast.
2026 began first in &'s Aotearoa home town and this lady saw it in:

For today,

The never underestimated pleasure of a decent nights sleep, wonderful!

Spent the morning at the yard with my big girl, tidied up her forelock and legs, applied frog & sole conditioner to feet and generally cosseted. My young neighbour is away visiting family so checked on his lad and gave him a treat or two, much to the disgust of my girlie who stamped her feet in protest!

Small spend in year-end sales, some of my boot socks have been darned & darned but there is nothing further I can do so ordered three new pairs from the marine condiment shop.

One of my presents from beloved was a three book tome by Edith Wharton, reading and enjoying.

Now watching a TOTP NYE special and singing along with (most) of the songs!

Happy New Year to all that read and post here, all the best for 2026 🎉🍾

Pleasures for today 

1. Lovely crisp morning with sunshine, walked little dog and no mud for a change.
2. Met a friend for lunch, she treated me for my recent birthday.
3. Shopping at a local supermarket, they were giving away free potatoes and veg so had my first taste of Brussel sprouts and cabbage this month.
4. Still enjoying my Christmas Tree.
5. In bed as working for next 6 days had a few days off between from Monday to today. Fingers crossed any fireworks don’t wake me.

Wishing you all a Happy & healthy New Year
