What are you all up to

We're on a bus route, which the local council never grits, and have no grit bin either, but other streets, with no bus route do have them. It's unbelievable really.

Pete, hope you can find some nice places locally, you always seem good at hunting down tasty food venues, take care and whatever happens, have a peaceful Christmas. 

Pete, I echo Brue's post. Is your band not in demand over Chrimbo?

After plumbers visit yesterday it was a relief when shower worked this morning. A day of taxi driving for MIL who had various appointments and a Christmas party to go to this afternoon, so I took the opportunity of getting in those food items that tend to be hard to find near to Christmas as people who never normally buy it suddenly find that Christmas will be a disaster if they don't buy some only to end up throwing it away 3 days after the big day!

Has anyone seen our Rudolph? He goes missing every year, mainly because we forget where we've stored him only to reappear usually on Christmas Eve.

I spotted him with his head sticking out of an upstairs window above a butchers shop as we headed into Scarborough today. Wonder if they're selling Reindeer meat as venison for Christmas.

Pete, I hope that the weather over the next couple of weeks is kind to you so that you can get out for some decent walks. 

WN. I think he might be on the roof of Queensgate car park in Peterborough. He looks in good shape and very festive.

Somewhat unusual day today. Woken by the telephone at around seven this morning. it was my youngest son. Joss (13) not well with a cold could we look after her? You agree to anything when you are half asleep! She is no bother and generally happy to entertain herself on her iPad although Margaret did drag her way to make some mince pies which not only did she enjoy but also prove to be quite competent at the task in hand. Apparently she had made bread the day before at school. After lunch Margaret and Joss settled down to watch the DVD of the new Mama Mia film when another frantic phone call from Simon. The dog walker had rung to say one of the dogs had had an accident and manged to rip out one of the claws on his back foot out. So Simon was off to Northampton to collect the dogs and take the injured one to the vets and could he bring them to us afterwards. The more the merrier we thought. Doug was quite subdued and he did not like having his back leg dressed up! Even the younger dog seemed a bit quiet, perhaps the incident frightened him? They had all gone by 5.30pm but they will probably be back tomorrow!!! Other than that its been a lovely day weather wise and not too cold. Even managed to wash most of the motohome.
