Happy Christmas Eve π π»π π»ππβοΈβοΈ
The drive around the villages was lovely. Some houses had better light shows than the councils. I donβt know how the main lights are funded, but the selections went from really lovely right down to pathetic π Our village seemed in the middle, but oddly some of the fancier βtwirled around the lamp post lightsβ are all down tiny side streets were you donβt see them when passing through. The fish and chips were excellent, but it was a terribly long wait to get them! Poor MrWW valiantly queued.
Today we have the fire lit and donβt plan on doing anything π

Merry Christmas friends. I hope you have all had wonderful days.
Everything went well here apart from my Yorkshire puddings pancaked! I have no idea why as itβs a tried and tested recipe. Anyhow, they went out to the birds and some aunt Bessieβs were quickly thrown in. We have enough leftovers to feed an army. We are in a food coma on the couch with a fire going.ΒWe watched the first ever Kings speech of our lifetime. The queenβs speech always felt like such a waste of my time when I was young, but now it feels quite patriotic. We are on Aladdin now, so itβs not all highbrow π€£
Iβve received quite a few Amazon vouchers, among other things, and they make me very happy as itβs an opportunity to save money I would normally spend πNot all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Happy Christmas. Sounds like youβve had a lovely day. DD and I went to my parents which we werenβt sure weβd be able to do at the start of the week as I was Covid positive but luckily I tested negative a day or 2 ago and no one else got it so it was back to plan A with a family Christmas π π». We also watched the Kings speech it was very moving and the start of a new era. I loved Aladdin and have just watched Call the Midwife. Looking forward to the new series of that starting. Iβve got enough chocolate to keep me going for a while and a few bottles of Prosecco so all in all a pretty good day. Enjoy your left overs xxslowly working towards being MF one small over payment at a time :T4

Happy Boxing Day everyone π
I too am looking forward to Call the Midwife. I really canβt do with any medical dramas, but love this so much. All the history is so interesting (even though we are creeping fast towards our lifetime as weβve just hit MrWWβs year of birth) and the characters are excellent. We were so pleased Trixie got engaged.ΒGhostβs Christmas special was lovely too. I did like the panto.
Iβm so glad you tested negative @southern_chick and could go visiting. Chocolate and Prosecco sounds perfect.ΒIβm not sure what today will hold, Β yet it will be full of leftovers π¬Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
