Thanks for the start nmlc.
Brrrr, chilly this morning but dry for now. Managed to get the bedding out on the line yesterday for a blow. It was half dry so it went on the airer by the fire for a while and is now folded and put away.
Hope you're ok Nelski.
What talented Grandchildren you have Izzy, well done to them. There was a SA brass band playing when I went shopping on Saturday and I thought of you!
I had a catch up day yesterday, lots of little jobs that needed doing (and got done) and some much needed food shopping that was quite expensive but I did get lots of cheese for Christmas as it looks like the Dutch contingent are coming over at some time and they eat a lot of cheese, especially Stilton and very strong cheddar. Anyone else noticed a shortage of crackers? Not the boxes but the boxes of a single type?
I've made a pot of soup, Thai carrot, that I can have for lunches this week to keep warm - our building is freezing and the front door is always open at break times so I need to heat up.
Hope everyone is well, take care. XX
Well I was a busy bee yesterday and got off to an early start. All the presents bought so far got bagged or wrapped. Not very MSE using bags but it makes the job so much easier and quicker. Then the cards that are for hand delivery got written, so just the ones to address left to do today. It's touch and go whether I will have enough cards and I thought I had bought plenty. I usually get far too many and have some left for the following year. Not so this time.
I don't bother with lots of decs these days but what I do put up I will drag out and maybe put up next weekend. It might make me feel a bit more festive.
Have a good day folks if you can and ((HUGS)) for the poorlies, fed up and MIA. NELS I hope you are improving day by day. IZZY well done to your DGD she sounds a star.. Take care all, keep warm and safe xx
keep safe and warm all
Had a nice pub lunch with BFF and her DH yesterday. Back on the wagon today. DH and I are on leave and will visit nephew's grave then go Christmas shopping.
M&S came back with a less than friendly email saying I need to either cancel my order or pay the difference. So, thanks to @-taff I quoted the 'must be as described' part of the consumer rights act as the website STILL says the chair has a "feather scatter back cushion for sinking into" and it doesn't - it's a fixed cushion made of hard foam. Let's see what they come back with. Thank you @-taff xx
Dinner tonight is SW prawn and chilli spaghetti.
You made me chuckle about your book club content @ScarletRibbons !!
Have a good day everyone and hugs to the poorlies

Overcast here and chilly but no rain due, OH managed to cut the grass yesterday which looks a lot better, he also hung the outside Christmas lights which look very festive, they are on a timer so only on for a few hours but they do bring a bit of Christmas cheer.
Two ladies coming today and we will stay at home this morning and do some baking and some arts and crafts, we will maybe get out for a walk on the sea front and stop for a hot drink after lunch.
Roast chicken tonight left over from yesterday so just need to re-heat it, I dont re-heat the chicken just the roasties and veg, the chicken will be sliced and have gravy on to warm it enough to eat, so a nice easy meal tonight.
DW has been emptied and I have put a wash on, have tidied through and I will hoover before my guests come.
Nels hope you are ok and not so sore xxx
Scarlet you make me chuckle re the members clutching their pearls
Have good days all xxx
Yesterday morning I pottered around upstairs putting away things, deciding I didn't want to keep some things and getting a bag for the CS. Now the hall window ledge is clear of extra stuff, it's very deep so it's easy to leave things on it.
Last night I lit two of the candles on the advent wreath. Tomorrow is St. Nicholas day, it's when children (🙋♀️) in Germany wake to find a few festive biscuits or chocolate from St. Nicholas part of the build up to Christmas. I'll leave something for myself!
Today is banking spreadsheet day. In the olden days it was balancing against the cheque book, now the task has changed so much. Anyway, I enjoy doing it.
For now I wish everyone well. Happy Monday to all.
Coxy Good luck with M&S not really acceptable or customer friendly
Izzy What talented GD's i could never even master the recorder at infant school
Scarlet Although they will be clutching their pearls in public i bet they read the book cover to cover :
Right have a good day everyone stay safe warm and dry xx

We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
