What are you all up to

We have had 3 days of leftovers and the fridge is now looking empty.  Not going to bother much with food for New Year, trying to use up all the bits we have in the freezer as defrosting will be due soon.

Going to DD's tomorrow to do some stuff in her kitchen, and discuss how many tiles she will need for it.  Some electrical stuff to do first, so she needs to order the bits.

Looking for an invitation to DS's place to see their revamped lounge and dining room as there was only the new carpet in place last time we were there.  

Hinted at dinner on the 1st, but seems they may be going out.

Lovely day clear skys, but was dodgy underfoot with black ice when walking into town, where trees had dripped after yesterdays fog,OH to docs as still not well ,not helped when he says there are more and more people having  illness that are not being able to get a diagnosis for,so its back to the drawing board again

JVB, hope your OH will get a bit more help with that, with surgeries shut down for holidays this is never an easy time of the year to be ill. 

Today I have been v busy with v lively grandson. just having a few minutes peace with some children's TV! 

Thanks, we are lucky as our surgery in the village is very good with quite easy access (for these day)with mostly very friendly and helpful doctors,with receptionists who are also helpful , also a lot of the "retired" doctors still do locum work there,the doctor OH saw today was  the son of one of the original brothers who ran the practice ,when the surgery was also their house,when kiddy winks were young(in their late forties now)while waiting to see one of the brothers, they were often taken into the garden where there would also be sick wildlife(proper country docs) 

Its a bit worrying when the doc says that there are more and more illness they cannot get a diagnosis for

,At' Longleat',see post on 'Solos' New Year ..

I hope your OH gets a disgnosis tomorrow and gets better soon JVB. All the best for the New Year.

Happy New Year to you as well Triky. Have a great time.

Mrs H had the cough & cold thing for about three weeks, but seems to be getting over it now. She tried to pass it on to me, but I refused to accept it.

Positive thought.....the way forward 

Up at 6am again this morning, breakfast in bed for Mrs H, finished writing my report then de-frosted the car and another day at CAB.

It seemed to stay cold all day, so didn't even bother with my usual stoll around town at lunch time.

Stunning photo, Brue. 😊

When we were at the Doctors yesterday, she told us she had seen 26 patients so far and 20 of those had serious chest infections. It seems a nasty virus going around, the Dr says she has never seen so many folk in one day with the same complaint. 

Weather still quite mild for the time of year.
