What are you all up to

Perhaps I should have read the book before watching the movie, I might have understood it better. It might been better on the big screen in the cinema with better quality sound and images than on a small portable caravan tv!

It seems I'm getting duplicated again! It seems to be the new forum's answer to the blank page. One problem disappears and another problem emerges. Can this one be fixed? And what does the p mean at the bottom?

The sun has risen here and it looks like a nice sunny morning. Hopefully, the fuel station will be open today as I need to fill the tank of the new car. We also plan to do some shopping st the Tesco Extra supermarket in Durrington.

It was as near a "day off" yesterday as it gets on a dairy farm.

Christmas Eve was mostly spent doing as much as possible to make Christmas Day easier. And by getting up at 4.45 am morning work was done by 8.15. Then nothing to do, except open presents, eat, drink and fall asleep until 3 pm and afternoon milking. Back in the house by 6.30 pm and relaxing in front of the fire and television. Loved Doctor Who, but a bit unmoved by the Strictly Christmas Special.

My super human hearing came in useful at 3 am this morning when I heard noises from the barn - a gate had come open and cows were wandering round the back of our house. A case for (almost) the Midnight Cowboys.

That's quite an eventful Christmas Day for you, Goldie!

We stayed over at our daughter's last night at Upper Hulme near Leek - about 200yds from the entrance to Blackshaw Moor Caravan Club Site.  The site is well and truly locked up for the winter.

We passed by Northbrook Farm Club site on our way to Tesco and that too was well and truly locked up for the winter, David. We've got a seasonal pitch there for 2017 so we're looking forward to when they re-open in March.

Have a nice day at your daughters. No doubt there must be plenty of leftover turkey for you to enjoy!

We're using some of our leftover turkey to make a fried rice dish for lunch and we're having some turkey soup to go with it. We also bought some crispy sweet and sour chicken whilst in Tesco.

We filled up our new car fuel tank whilst there. It cost just £26 of unleaded to fill the tank compared to £84 to fill the Shogun with diesel! A huge cost saving!

Just popped to the Goyt valley to take the dogs for a run, before heading back home.  Off to a friends for Boxing night tea.

Was snowing this morning - Now the sky is very dark and the torrential rain is almost horizontal.  We are having a quiet day after yesterday's celebrations. 

It will soon be time for the afternoon dog walk, so hope the rain eases a bit.
