What are you all up to

We went out to see "Sleuth" last night, hadn't ever seen it and thought it was clever, especially the misleading programme that was handed out, all part of it. Might go and see daughter on her fiddle at Clarks factory Outlet today, new band for her, but don't know whether I can face the crowds.

Yes Goldie, the countdown has begun. 

Thank  you  for  the  info,  CY  --  that  sounds  even  more  magical  than  the  thingies  I  was  thinking  about  .

And  thank  you  too,  Goldie  --  I  do  like  a  good  giggle  after  lunch  .

Any  way,  no  more  time  to  play  here  --  I've  promised  myself  at  least  300  slides  to  check  before  evening,  then  a  few  laps  of  the  living  room  on  the  exercise  bike    followed  by  'washing  up'  but  at  least  that  won't  involve  talkative  strangers  borrowing  my  Fairy  Liquid  !!

Woke this morning feeling a bit better, 

Sorted round the house, and put the washing in, hadn't felt like doing much so lots to do.

Went to a lovely little Christmas Craft Market at our local village church this afternoon and bought a couple of Christmas presents. Called in at the pub too, all the decorations were going up, it was looking very festive. 🎄🎄🎄

Good luck with all those slides to check ABM.

Helen,  glad  to  hear  your  feeling    a  little  improved  and  a  little  shopping  therapy  really  can  work  wonders .

As  for  my  slides  --  there's  only  another  60,000  or  so  to  go  before  I  start  on  the  digital  ones  --  calculations  reckon  I  will  take  about  4  years  in  total 

Glad you are starting to feel better Helen. We've spent the afternoon at Clark's Outlet, got a few pressies, did some foot tapping and clapping for our daughter and fellow musicians. They were raising funds for the air ambulance. Full tilt tonight at Glastonbury with other bands, more funds for a local food bank. We have the visiting dog who was pleased to see us when we returned.

Hope you make progress with your slides ABM. 

Glad you're feeling better Helenandtrevor,  don't do too much too soon! These bugs have a habit of returning. How is the shingles patient?

Sounds like a nice day brue. At least you had a reason to go and the added bonus of finding Christmas gifts. I hope it wasn't raining.

Moved our motorhome storage pitch yesterday. New plot a bit tighter width wise but in a much sunnier spot, last one had bank and hedges on 2 sides at least the height of the motorhome, so hopefully the solar panel will get more exposure for longer and generally they'll be more air around. Be interesting to see what is stored on our old plot. Had a general air through the motorhome, it was dry and sunny but a keen breeze! Had a late lunch in a country pub, always busy despite having few nearby houses, very tasty and Ridley's ale. Weather turned as the light failed.

Grey and wet today, don't think it's been light! Went to visit "cheerful" aunt. Not been for a bit as we've been germy and she's had nasty bug. Little changes, certainly didn't lift our spirits 😉.

Spent the last couple of hours avoiding starting writing Christmas cards, I'll start tomorrow 😂. Must at least do NZ ones.

ABM that's some task you've set yourself 😲. I hope you're labelling them with details of date, where and who? Lots of folks offered photos and plenty of searchers lived them in the archives but without a minimum of info they're not much use 😢

Goldie - the countdown certainly has begun! Mrs M's community choir gave their first Christmas "performance" today (well they had the decency to wait till December 1st I suppose!). So I've been left in to do the cooking and wine tasting!

Upside is that I get to play all the CDs which are otherwise verbotten! So a marathon Joni Mitchell session tonight and Van Morrison tomorrow. 

We've been to Chatsworth Market today and have combined it with a visit to our daughter and son-in-law.  We picked them up and took them - Ifree parking with my disabled badge.  I don't know if we would have gone otherwise - £20 For parking (£10 after 3pm.)  It appears they want to encourage people to car share.

Just been sorting through the Christmas Lights, to check they still work  going to need some to decorate the caravan next weekend, battery operated ones of course! 

Wow ABM, 60,000 slides that's some task!

Bakers2 the shingles patient is much better thank you.

Moulesy enjoy the music and the wine. 

Brue hope your daughter and friends enjoy playing and raise lots of money for the good causes.
