Morning all, and a happy and healthy New Year to you all - with WHITE RABBITS!
Had a late evening last night eating and drinking with friends - and had a lift so could indulge in a few glasses of wine. All the family coming for supper this evening, so I’ve started veg prep and am just about to lay the table. Going to make whinberry tart (our annual Christmas treat) later and hope it all goes to plan.
Stayed up late last night myself. Watched Jools Holland who was really excellent as usual. Sunny here today so I’m going out for a walk later.
I watched Robbie to see the new year in.
Happy New Year to you all xxx
Cold and gloomy here so in by the fire for me. Kids will probably turn up later
HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone 
We watched Robbie too…also watched Peter Pan Goes Wrong…reminded me of the Whitehall Farces with Brian Rix…found it very funny…
Horrible here …think it has just stopped raining at last!
Ididn’t know Robbie was on or I would have watched him.
Frosty first thing,now nice sunshine.Bedding out on line wonder if they’ll dry.
Been on line looking for best deals for car and house insurance-both due this month.My head is spinning!Think I will have a strong coffee before I carry on!
Robbie was on C1 Jess
Lovely warm sunshine here, My daughter popped down so I had a much needed haircut
Thanks Jac I’ll try I player. Another nice sunny day after the frost disappeared had a walk and then did some food shopping.
Spent the day clearing up after the family supper last night. Still don’t think everything is back in the right place, but not to worry, it will all land back sooner or later! Rang DIL and she came to collect the (large) remains of the beef - it would have taken Rob and I the rest of the week to demolish it. She had a surprise this morning, a pair of twins had arrived in the sheep shed! Someone had jumped the gun somewhat, they are not supposed to be lambing until March!
Anyone else confused what day it is ?!
Another frosty morning.Through the front window it’s foggy but out the back window the sun’s shinning-think the weather’s confused as well.
Weather has been really confused here as well . Frost out back and on car but sun on window of balcony really hot .had to keep window open . Went out for my weekly pub-lunch and it was really spring -like
Anyone else glad that everything is now back to normal. Regarding television programmes and the shops being open.
Know what you mean Jess, its all as far away as ever
Overcast and chilly here so a day in for me with the tv later
We had a lovely sunny day here and I got out for a walk.
I’m very glad that we’re getting back to normal - also glad that some things in the house are getting mended! Engineer comes tomorrow to have a go at the oil-fired cooker (again). Engineer came today and mended Rob’s wheelchair and approximately an hour after he left it broke again! Engineer came on Tuesday to mend the bath and there is another coming tomorrow to do routine checks on all the equipment! Oh and I forgot about the phones. Two phone lines out of order on December 22nd. |One came back on 23rd, the other is still OOO despite two engineers enquiring about the other one and promising to fix the one that’s still out.
Think I need a lie down in a darkened room…
Cold frosty morning here.
Granddaughter is in hospital.Her BP is high so they are keeping her in until the baby is delivered possibly next week.Her due date is Feb 7th.Going to see her this afternoon.She’s asked for chicken sandwiches and white chocolate buttons!
Xmas being on a weekend always throws me…never sure what day it is…mind you…that could be an age thing
Just to make it worst…no dance this week cos poor Sian has tonsillitis …on antibiotics so she’s hoping to be back on Monday…
Lovely day here 
Hope all goes well with granddaughter Rhosyn xx
I had a nice surprise this am , a young lady who lives downstairs knocked my door and asked me if I wanted a whole chicken ??? Her mother is pregnant and even the sight of it is making her feel sick . It was still in its packaging so guess who will be eating chicken for the next few days
Hope all settles down for you Sue . Our electricity went off last night and that was bad enough .By the time I found the torch and was trying to work out what to do it came back on . We really depend on electricity dont we
Best wishes to your granddaughter Rhosyn, she’s in the right place to be looked after carefully.
Oil fired cooker is now alight (problem was with the fuel filter, not the cooker) so looking forward to being able to cook on it again. Phone still OOO although a gentleman in India assured me that the fault was corrected yesterday!
Friend rang this morning and suggested a trip to the cinema this afternoon (she’d bought 2 tickets, but her husband had gone off for the day). His loss! What a wonderful film (The Eagle Huntress) made in Mongolia about a 13 year old girl who captured her own eagle and won the cup at the Festival etc. It was breathtaking, the photography alone was worth an Oscar. If you get a chance, go and see it.
Rain is in for the day and my laptop is playing up again grrr
