Hi fabbers,

DS school has had at least one case of the omicron variant, but DS hasn’t been affected.  DDs school is closed tomorrow, due to covid, but as I’m working from home, it’s easily managed.

Not much to report, other than that. I hope everyone is well.

@chanie how is your new job going?

chanie

@Floss it’s going fine, thanks for asking.  Very quiet at the moment, so I don’t have much to do, but it will pick up after Xmas.  

It’s one mile wear all the way for me, except if I have onsite meetings, when I’ll dress up.  

Is everyone prepared for Christmas?

Hello Ladies, 

I went to watch the Steven Spielberg remake of West Side Story yesterday at my local Odeon cinema and I absolutely loved it. A well deserved 10/10 from me.  There was only one other person watching the film with me, so that made it a really pleasant experience as well for me. 

I cooked 68 jerk chicken wings at Blackfriars Settlement this morning. They will reheat them for the Christmas dinner tomorrow.  I have chosen not to go to the Christmas dinner followed by the social dance, as it is too much of a risk for me. 

I am cooking Nando's chicken for dinner tonight.

sugar I’m sure you will be missed at the party tomorrow, but I’m sure your cooking will be enjoyed.

Hello Ladies, 

Thanks Chanie. I will find out in January 2022 when I return to Blackfriars Settlement what they thought of the jerk chicken wings. 

I got the Metro on Friday and it had a £10 off a £40 plus shop for Lidl in it. I used it today. I got 2 X 6 salmon fillets which will be for me to cook on Boxing Day and New Year's Eve.   

I am going to visit my brother H tomorrow. I will take all of the wrapped presents for his 3 grandsons from my brother to his home. my brother is so thankful that I found good new branded clothing for his grandsons and that I wrapped them and put the gift tags on them. 

I booked my brother's booster online last night as he could not stand around in a queue and he has no access to the internet. He is relieved that he now has an appointment locally.

Hi fabbers,

I started doing yoga a few days ago and I’m really enjoying it.  I never thought I’d be a yoga person, as I’ve always preferred cardio type fitness. I tried an online lesson and felt the benefits on my body right away - ive stretched muscles I didn’t even know I had and it feels good.  

I also had a bit of a wardrobe clear out and got rid of a couple of items that I struggled to discard of, even though I didn’t feel good in them.  I think what sparked me on was finding a pair jeans I bought for my birthday last year,  that I have hardly worn, because I had forgotten about them.  It was a nice surprise when I remembered them.

I went out for a family meal and it’s probably the first time I have dressed up since the pandemic.  I bought a new dress from eBay a few weeks ago, which I wore with velvet flats and gold jewellery. I was telling OH how nice it was get dressed up and that we should do it more often.

Hello Ladies,

Chanie it is good that you have discovered that Yoga is a form of exercise that you really enjoy. It is great to have a reason to dress up, especially now. I hope you and your family enjoyed the meal. 

I had my oven professionally cleaned yesterday and my Living room rug is going to be professionally cleaned this afternoon. I have had to move everything around to leave the rug free of furniture.
