What are you all up to

Excellent strategy Jayess, It's time people woke up to the waste of Xmas cards, Valentines cards, Easter cards and Birthday cards and shopping excess.

Much better being more personal and actually visiting, or if that is not possible then a telephone call

Or perhaps a 7 day pill so hibernation over Xmas might be possible. Benefits being richer, weight loss and less likely to suffer the onslaughts to health that overeating can bring.

If there was a pill I'd take it. 

People get swept up in the Christmas season and sometimes forget that it's not a universal festival. The clue is in the name 

Renewed our home insurance today, person in office in London was asking if it was cold up here as they had -1.  Actually mild today, we have 10 degrees at present, and some sun.

It's been quite chilly here, I was very surprised to hear the M5 was closed through the Bristol area yesterday due to ice (mostly on the Avon bridge.) The sky is clear and sunny just now so it looks like another good sunset and a cold night. I took a late afternoon photo on a walk yesterday, the sky was a wonderful pink colour.

That's a puzzle, can't add the photo? 

third attempt at sunset.....

Our fog cleared and I needed sunglasses on our walk. Sun going down now temp plummeting too. Fingers crossed fog stays away. But boy it's chilly. 

Talking to a friend in the village when out on our walk today. She told me that a young couple, recently moved into the village earlier this year had gone out on Christmas Eve, about 3pm, to deliver some presents to their children friends. When they returned to their house they found that they had been burgled with all the presents stolen and the scum had also stolen their car to take them away!

It's the first burglary that I've heard of in years in the village and it's all the more surprising in that they live on the main through road in the village so plenty of people around. I suppose seeing strangers loading presents into a car on Christmas Eve wouldn't be surprising, particularly if you don't know the people who live there in the first place. Lots of strangers around visiting at this time of year.

Thieves are scum though.

Gosh that is absolutely stunning brue. Haven't had some really wonderful sunsets this year. 

Easter cards and eggs will be in the shops next week
