What are you all up to

We're not booking holidays.....we're on our holidays😊

Nor  me  Brue,  Just  bunged  the  monthly  prescription  request  in,  followed  by  checking  the  ABM  financial   state  ,  so  I'm  off  now  to  dig  deep  round  the  cushions,  settee  etcetera,  for  the  carol  singers  donations 

Oh  Crrrrumbs 

We keep booking holidays so as not to be hame and think about what you are doing we will at some point need to do for the same reasons

Off again Saturday  usual haunt

We’re packing. However, just been into our large attic and think we need another sort out. Not helped by the bike workshop that seems to have grown up there! I think this years festive wreath might involve a bicycle wheel......or two........or three🤣🤣🤣

Millie, sorry only just seen this post, glad you enjoyed your morning .

We are off to Castleton for a few days. 

Just catching up, 

Husky sorry to read about your wife, my OH has just got over his Shingles and he was in a lot of pain, it must be very hard for your wife.

Had to collect the caravan from storage yesterday and put it on the drive, we found out the road to the storage site is closed from today and we wouldn't have had access, and we need the van at the weekend. 

Weather not been good, heavy showers, but mild, OH has been out in the garage fitting a new brake hose on the MG, and a bit if welding. I've been at work, boss delivered a trailer load of Christmas trees to the BBC at the weekend. 

All the talk of clearing out, reminds me I must get the spare bedroom sorted before Christmas 

Had a visitor this afternoon so clearing out put on hold 

Pneumococcal jab done no problem, arm not stiff or sore so far.

Would love to go away for a few days but just toooooooo much work to do. Haven't even thought about Christmas yet, no cards bought no presents, wouldn't even have an idea of what anyone wants.

Shingles, Mum had them on her head and face twice and once on her back and front. Sister had them on her back and front. I've had them but only mild (and that was bad enough) on my left shoulder and all down my left arm. It really is an awful painful thing to have, if the jab can help prevent it then why wait until folk are 70 before giving it to them.

Very muddy (for me) on "our" walks today no problem for Rosa and four paw drive,several really heavy showers have washed the leaf fall down the roads into large piles on the corners,

Our post office ( in the co op) has been closed on several days because of staff sickness.there was a "scratch crew" in today,  and it showed,as they seemed a bit out of their depth and had run out of stamps

Have a good time TDA and others going away, we're missing our usual late break so I'm quite envious. 

Husky commiserations to your wife, and you 😉. Sounds dreadful. I worked with someone who got shingles of the eyes - very very poorly!

I've never had chicken pox, I think I may have said before? They closed our primary school and we were sent to play with the kids that had it, as you were in those days, but neither I nor my brother caught it. Missed it when my children got it, theres almost 5 years between them so 2 separate occasions. Hoping that means I won't encounter shingles. Eldest granddaughter had her chicken pox jab last Friday.

Bought my Christmas stamps when I posted my NZ cards first thing this morning.

Very grey but mild day, went out into the garden to tidy and cut back but showers drove me in after an hour  when one didn't pass swiftly and the breeze got up. So have up on that and tackled the Christmas cards. One of the reasons I wasn't looking forward to the task as my Christmas card address book was overflowing last year after almost 30 years use 😲. Crossing out of deceased 😢, change of addresses etc so I'd written a list but not included addresses! Completed the task and enjoyed it, but not done neighbours yet, and decided I needed a new book so walked into town and bought one. Struck while the iron was hot and transferred all details neatly into the book so the task should be more straightforward next year!! I won't post until the end of the week as I don't like to receive mine too early, but that said we have 2 already. 1 from NZ which took 3 days from franked date to arrival which beats any previous record!

Where next enjoy your quiet week, I expect you'll be lost without them 😉.

Helenandtrevor good job you knew the road was closing otherwise ......... 😲😲.

Takethedogalong where are you iff to? I know it's a cottage, so I do pay attention 😉, just forgotten destination if you said! Enjoy.

Please all of you don't mention sorting and clearing out it's something that needs doing here but were not good at it!
