What are you all up to

This can't be me I'm talking about - but having bought/ordered all the Christmas presents, I'm now tackling the freezer, to make room for extra food.

Haul so far - two turkeys, 4 large joints of beef, two ham joints, one large chicken, plus numerous bags of mince etc and packets of fish, and bags of veg.

Not to mention dishes and boxes of leftovers (I think it's mushroom soup for lunch).

All packed into the fridge and cool bags and boxes, until I scrape out and scoop all the long lost peas from the bottom of the freezer.

As I said - it can't be me - I'm not that organised!

We are thinking about next years main holiday now too. We are thinking of the New Forest in Hampshire its an area we have never visited before so should be good. Haven't booked yet but will probably be going the last 2 weeks in July.

WN, I've driven that coast road up to Colliure as well. I found the burnt out cars halfway down some of the gullies a bit disconcerting. Not a route for the nervous driver.

And  that  just  goes  to  prove  Rowena's  point { made  elsewhere, }  that  it  is  so  very  easy  to  misinterpret  the  point  of  a  post  on  here  !!

I'm  sorry  I  misunderstood  your  point  .

Yes David we will. We hope to arrive before the arrival of the Hirundines (Swallows, Swifts and Martins). There are literally thousands of them, usually between the 20th and 24th. March. There is always something to be seen there and even if not then it's quite a large area and so you can get a good walk in.

Up and out early today as a nurse wanted to stick a needle in my arm. Flu jab done for another year. Whilst waiting I noticed 3 missed appointments with a doctor, all before 9 a.m. It's a wonder they don't introduce a system like the CMC do.

Came home and packed the caravan for tomorrow.

CY - We've seen a few of those cars ourselves. I guess we take it easier anyway , what with right hand drive etc. The French side is quite nice but I'm not that keen on the Spanish side until you get nearer Cadaques.

Helen, thanks for your message. Hope T is back to full fitness and it won't be long before you are away.

P.P.S.  David, 

  So  I'll  back  my five ( 5 )  nurses  against  your  nurses  &  raise  you  two ( 2 ) phlebotomists 

We did it on the trike  there were times I didn't look 

Started out bright and sunny this morning after what was a very windy and wet night. It's now gone grey and dull but OH is outside washing the car and giving it a clean inside. 

We are off to QVS(Queen Victoria School) tomorrow for the Remembrance parade and service, it will be even bigger this year as its the 100th Anniversary of WWI. Both our boys and now our grand daughter have attended this school, which has a lot of history. I expect the school chapel will be packed out tomorrow. With a bit of luck it won't rain and will be warmer than it was last yea,r when it was sub zero with the wind chill (I had a cold then as well)  

Another good nights sleep and feeling a bit better today  I'm just taking it easy and staying in the warmth.

Glad to hear others are doing well and still out and about enjoying themselves.

Goldie, well done. My freezer is now full but I've not thought about Christmas presents yet. Still got my eldest grand daughters birthday next week, then another couple of other birthdays before Christmas.

Yes we're here till Monday then 4 nights at Chester before 3 at Preston and then home. Just discussing where to head for over Christmas and the New Year.

Sorry to hear that the results weren't too promising, and that our paths won't cross next week. Enjoy your time at Warwick.
