What I did today.

She posted on the thread about bickering today. Don't worry, crimson.

I'm worrying about number. Have we heard from her since her grandson's nativity on Wednesday? Hope everything's ok.

Feeling virtuous! Packed day clothes. Only undies, belts bags, nightwear, hair things, toiletries, medicines and jewlery to go. Oh and shoes and paints and swimming things! Help I'm running out of cases!

All sounds wonderful

Lovely!

And we will raise a toast to you, jeni, over our now traditional New Year smoked salmon sandwiches in front of the fire.

Have a superb trip jeni! - Not sure when you're off, but as you're busy packing can't be long now..........

Have the most fantastic time jeni. It sounds fabulous

18 days on the Queen Elizabeth from Southampton to Southampton.


But we do go via Cadiz, Oporto, Lisbon, Rome, Piraeus, Gibraltar, Barcelona and Vigo.
It's not going to be very warm so ineed jumpers and things as well as evening dresses, cocktail dresses and 'elegant casual' whatever that is?

I'm hoping its as as much fun as it was last year when we we had George McGavin from the lost land of series on our table! We were the noisiest table and got complained about, but it was great.

I just wish all of my friends from GN could be with me to share it.
I will drink a toast to you at new year!

Multiple cases jeni sounds very decadent .... where are you going?

Yes undies would be a good idea, in case of emergency

Lovely morning here. I've been watching the local lifeboat performing man overboard practice! I'm glad I'm not the 'man' it took at least 1/4 hour!

I've now packed one case the one with the evening dresses in. I suppose I ought to think about day dresses and undies as well.?

It's a beautiful morning here in Cheshire with glorious sunshine and just the hint of a breeze. Hope it lasts

Well, at least now the power's back on I can have a cup of tea [goes off whistling 'always look on the bright side of life, tedum tedum tedum tedum ]....

crimson things can only get better!!!!!

Diana with a bow??? I was wondering why anyone would tie a ribbon around a nude statue.
It is surely time for bed!
Night All .

crimson I hate it when that happens. I lost some programmes this week because I forgot the electrician had turned the power off to do some work.

Sat down at 9 to watch the last ever two episodes of The Killing; 9.30 power cut. To add insult to injury my house was the only house in my street that was affected. Power came back on just as The Killing had ended. Don't want to watch it on iplayer as want to watch it in comfort. The perfect end to what has been a lousy week .

Lunch on the Quayside with sister and BIL, not too busy, I think everyone was shopping in the city centre. Last time I will see my sister this year because both of us will be off visiting family.
Rang my elder sister to wish her a happy birthday, 72 today, she was baking for a tea party she was giving this afternoon. I never get to see her on her birthday as she lives in Germany.

Just had a peek at your Berliner Brot recipe Nelliemoser it sounds delicious. I am definitely going to make one. Thanks for sharing it

I get days like that annodomini, I took to writing things down to force myself to do things....

Bags And all! My "Berliner Brot", Fruity, nutty, chocolately, cake recipe as mentioned several posts down the list is now cut and pasted into Christmas Recipes. in the Recipe section.

My SIL got the recipe when living in Germany, and used to make it at Christmas. I loved it so much I have now been making it for years.
enjoy. or goes well.

I gave the two fingered salute to a bunch of London motorists. Now grandsons know how to give two fingered salutes. They also know about the one finger salute that we got given back to us. And their vocabulary has expanded considerably.

Such fun.

I've spent most of the day intending to do things and then putting them off. But I must get the cards into the post on Monday or they won't get anywhere for Christmas. I did do a bit of Waitrose shopping because I had a money off voucher if I spent over £40 - so I got in supplies for when my sister and BiL come for New Year - mostly liquid supplies, of course.

Thanks annodomini, have you had a nice day

Cheelu, what a satisfying day.
