Good Morning Thursday, 18th December 2025

Good morning all, it is going to be a warm few days

I am going to spend a few days indoors I think. Should get the Christmas Day forecast tomorrow.

Of course today I have the excitement of bin day in the morning. Having tested my new air fryer I am going to throw the old one in the bin.

Have a good one

Take care.

Hi

Good Morning Bruce and all who follow.

No Frost overnight and a welcome few hours break before the rain starts again.

No White Christmas here, just another miserable grey day.

This learning to walk again after so long in bed is not going well.

It is hard work, shuffling rather than walking and a lot of lower back pain.

Such is life.

Showna has stopped working for the Christmas Holidays, her husband stops work tomorrow.

Tomorrow is when the builders here in the UK finish at lunchtime for their two week break two weeks wages and their bonus payments.

It is known as Black Eye Friday, the drink flows and so do the fists.

A very busy day for the Police, Ambulance and others.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning!
Dull, cloudy, drizzle

Nothing much planned for today
I have food in, so there’s no need to go out
Might just manage a bit of vacuum cleaning
And that’s about it

Good morning from here in the ā€œBig Appleā€.

Icy cold day here again, so were off down to the bottom of Manhatten, see the statue of liberty and go up the freedom spire and see what else we can do. Meawhile, it seems BT are trying to rip us off with oversea data charges even though we’re on a different network.

Have a great day all…

What’s the Freedom Spire?

It is something I have never heard of.

Hello my friend,
I’m not sure whether you received my reply, as I’m not very good with these things yet.
I truly hope your health is improving.
May today, and every day, be a good day for you.

@Bruce Good morning Bruce :blush:

A warm few days indoors actually sounds quite sensible especially if it comes with a new air fryer. Bin day and a kitchen upgrade… living dangerously there! :smile:
Fingers crossed the Christmas Day forecast behaves itself. Whatever the weather does, I hope the day brings you a bit of calm and comfort.
Have a good one too, and take care

Good morning :blush:

Sounds like one of those quiet, slow-paced days dull skies, light drizzle, and zero pressure to be productive (the best kind, honestly). Having food in already is a small luxury, and if you manage a bit of vacuuming, I’d call that a win
Some days are for doing less and letting the world run in low-power mode. Stay warm, stay cosy, and enjoy the calm.

Good morning from warm Thailand :thailand::blush:

Wo, icy cold Big Apple day but that sounds like a perfect plan anyway. Statue of Liberty + Freedom Tower is a classic combo… cold outside, big history, big views, very New York!
BT trying to sneak in overseas charges while you’re on another network? That’s impressive levels of cheek :roll_eyes: Hope it gets sorted without too much chasing.
Enjoy Manhattan, stay wrapped up, and make the most of the day, New York has a way of making even cold days feel special. Have a great one!

Hello friends from all around the world,

Today I’m really quite free. but only this morning. I’m using the time to catch up and get things done related to my online pen-friend groups, which I belong to in several places. After that, I’ll take care of some housework and then head out for a neck and shoulder massage. I’ve been feeling a bit stiff from office syndrome (the glamorous side of desk life :smile:). Or may be watching too much war news.
In the afternoon, I’ll drive to another home where I usually stay only on weekends, to do some cleaning there.

I hope everyone is finding happiness in their own way.

Bruce, I’ve been busy with work lately, but now I’m feeling bored because the holiday has been too long. :joy:

Its the world trade centre building that was constructed next to where the two towers were destroyed on 9/11. I believe it is the tallest building in new york.
