I have spent most of my morning watching The Greatest Story Ever Told. Since I sat down, my youngest has asked me to bring him out for lunch so I will happily do that. We both like the Darts so two Christmas dinners in the local is now the plan. I love having no work to do
You’re not grey and gloomy you’re a lovely person. It’s hard not to be affected by what you see on social media these days, some things are harrowing. Also I think Christmas can made us feel down as well as up. Be nice to yourself when you’ve put the washing on. Sending a virtual hug xx
I'm OK Anj. Would be better if it wasn't for this bloody cold which keeps reinventing itself. I was going to report in today anyway as I'm going to be out of commission for the next few days and will sadly miss Brett's Xmas eve escapades. Off with Peter to Truro Xmas market tomorrow then spending Christmas at his parents,returning some time on Boxing day. Rob asked me a couple of months ago and it's a big upheaval for them with people having to share beds to accommodate me and the house a bit of a building site. I don't like being a nuisance so I was planning to politely decline and, tbh, I need to get to spend Xmas on my own at some stage. It's the only "special day" I haven't now. But before I got to tell him he went and bought a whole Turkey. Which was basically for ne as I'm the only one who eats the dark meat.
Happy belated birthday mate. Hope you had a good one.
Ah blue although I’m busy I’m sure you and everyone realise that it’s Mrs bl who does all the “ heavy lifting “ , metaphorically , at Christmas . I keep trying to rein her in a bit as she does so much for friends who need her help , but it has caught up on her physically and emotionally at times. My last big role will be picking up the turkey early tomorrow.
Aren't you off to South Africa with your landlord soon or did I dream that Fred?I'm OK Anj. Would be better if it wasn't for this bloody cold which keeps reinventing itself.

Busy January lined up as I'm in Liverpool for 2 weeks and looks like a very busy schedule including anniversary of mum passing and 3 birthdays, including my sister's 80th, which is the primary reason for the trip. It's also Cal's birthday and I'm spending a couple of days with my BIL on the Wirral. I'm trying to persuade him to go to Barcelona fir a couple of days in February for my birthday but he hasn't taken the bait yet.
Anyway that's my news, such as it is. Hope everybody has an enjoyable festive period.
No you are right mate. They are taking a mini leg of one of the Queens world cruises, getting off at Cape Town, where they are staying until the end of March. They asked if I wanted to join them for a couple of weeks to coincide with my birthday, but before I'd even confirmed he got back to me to say that the people who owned the property where he's staying wanted a silly amount in service fees to cover the extra person, which I wasn't prepared to pay. I could probably get a decent hotel for half the cost.

I must have got the message telepathically, as I’ve got stuffing and gravy boxed off today and thought there was only one man to whom I wanted to relay the good news!!I'm OK Anj.
