What are you all up to

We had an invite to the Peterborough Conservative club today for lunch and live music,organisation of the Club looked very chaotic, (what does it say for the "party😕"but food and band were both good☺

Best forward wishes for your 70th.Goldie (just proving I can count)

Husky - Glad you put a smiley on your post.

Good luck to all who have lost loved ones during the year.

Yesterday was so bad that I couldn't get out. The rain wouldn't have bothered me but branches were falling so we stayed put. Made up for it today with a brisk walk. Bumped into a neighbour who was trying to deliver his cards whilst walking with 2 crutches and 2 dogs so took cards and dogs off him and sent him back up his drive. Just because you get older doesn't mean you get more sense (not having a go at you Goldie👵).

Bangers and mash with onion gravy for tea.😝

Thanks, Helen, it's going well. 

After the horrible weather yesterday we woke to a sunny morning and all of the frost had gone. I was surprised to see a patch of snow on the ground last night when I was out with Flyte at 10. Easy drive over to Snainton and surprising little traffic in our direction around York although there was quite a queue heading in the opposite direction. The site is certainly a good find easy access and very quiet.

Happy birthday for next week Goldie.

Glad that you had a good trip Goldie. Hope that the weather stays fair for your next trip.

Good deed done for the week there, WN.

Busy day today. Had our, what seems to becoming an annual get together, at a local pub/restaurant for family members. People came from Southampton, London and Northampton as well as the MK contingent. Not forgetting baby Mila who is about 4/5 months old and the star of the show! At Margaret's sister insistence we had to wear Christmas jumpers. I don't quite match up to Colin Firth in mine!!!

David

Well done David.  OH won't even buy a Christmas jumper, never mind wear one!! I do have one or two bought over the years and like an opportunity to wear them.  That sounds a lovely occasion to get everyone together.

Goodness WN. Your neighbour sounds like a disaster waiting to happen - 2 crutches, 2 dogs and a handful of cards!  Good job you were there to help out. Well done.

Happy birthday Goldie.

Gradually getting through the long lone of concerts, practices and services before Christmas.  We were packed out for the Polesworth Abbey Carol Service last night.  I have a bit of respite today before more performances and practices before Christmas Day.  I haven't told anyone about my 'day off' today.  Stillvhave to take a keyboard speaker in for repair, but hopefully some Christmas shopping later.

David

Happy Birthday from me too, Goldie, hope you enjoy your special day when it comes along soon. 

Can't resist another bit of glittery celebrations...

Glad  to  see  you  are  all  busy  &  productive  this  week  .

Did  a  bit  of  'present shopping'  in  Sainsburys  in  Nantwich  today  . I could  have  managed  to  do  it  in  Crewe  but  I  decided  to  get  the  lads  on  their  carpark { Poles  ?? }  to  give  the  Ducato  a  quick  wash  while  I  was  inside  shopping.  When  I  got  back the  'van  was  sparkling  and  the  moment  I  removed  the  alarm  they  swung  all  doors  open.  then  they  swiftly  wiped  down  the  door-frames  &  even  the  carpets  got  a  wipe  over  too  .

Normally  I'd  do  it  myself  but  I'm  creaking  like  a  farm  gate  at  the  moment  and  if  I  got  down  to  wash  the  wheels  I'd  need  a  long-jibbed  crane  to  get  me  upright  again  !!

Still  the  alternative  ain't  one  to  select  is  it  .

Enjoy  yourselves  with  your shopping, wrapping,  writing, posting,  days off ( sneaky  that  one  David )  and  enjoy  your  'Special  Day'  Goldie

Happy birthday Goldie 🎂🍾🎉🎊🍹. Apart from being nearer Christmas can I ask why celebrations will be nothing flashy like your OH's? I know his was a double celebration but please ensure they you have a big fuss made for you. Show them this and tell them I'll ensure they do 😂😂😂.

Lovely bright day. Called into B&Q as I wanted a red bow or similar for my door wreath and it is nextdoor to our Wyevale. Christmas over there, few artificial trees about half a dozen and some  poinsettias and red plants! Felt very bah humbug and very sad as it's still a week before. Got what I went for in Wyevale. Thought I'd call in Asda as I passed, police car blocking the road into the carpark glimpse of a fire engine about the loading bay. Travelled on to another garden centre. Beautifully Christmassy 😀😃. Spoilt for choice but got something, quite pleased with it but next year I'm definitely doing a new wreath.

Lovely relaxing reflexology this afternoon. 

Been awaiting delivery of DIL2B present, saw something online and ordered. Slow on acknowledgement saying there would be a delay because of volume of orders! Was a tracked item and it was then I discovered it was being made in China 😯😯. Sent to Yanwen 11th arrived UK 14th. Checked earlier today, not updated further. It was delivered this afternoon 😀 phew! It's exactly as shown online 😀. So that's the shopping all finished wrapping of last bits, need OH to make himself scarce! Mince pies to make, aiming for tomorrow morning, then I'm sorted bar fresh shopping.

Got a trip booked to see Kew Gardens lit up on Friday. Its beginning to feel a bit like Christmas 🎄🎄
