Morning all from my bit of North Leicestershire which is also dark and sounds dry!

Big news - a well recommended (by the butcher!!) slate man is coming this afternoon.

Decorations day today. And lots of catching up to do. Teriyake chicken and egg fried rice for supper.

Stay safe.

Beechnut, the same thing usually happens to me at the haidressers, usually because I am too short for the chair and basin. They now give me a cushion to sit on, which seems to solve the problem.

Good morning everyone from a dark East Northants at DD's. Have not slept well due to pain in my back; had to get up and take more pain killers.

A sad event yesterday evening just outside DD's house. Terrific bang, DS-in-law rushed out, as did other neighbours. Just one car involved; 999 was called and within minutes ambulance, police and fire engine were there. The driver unfortunately didn't make it according to DS-in-law. Very sad at any time of year, but just before Christmas.......

Hoping that today will be uneventful. Wishing for a good Saturday for us all.

Good morning Mick and all his followers. You have been talking about a haircut for a while - I hope you get one, Mick . Mine was messed up last time, so I am changing hairdressers but I can’t get an appointment until the New Year. Still, it gives the rough bits longer to grow out!
Grey and still dark here in Suffolk so a day of sewing and rugby here. What to have for tea? It’s the thing that gets to me about this year - running out of ideas for food. A browse through the cookbooks perhaps ...
Good news about Iris and yes buttons are pricey!
I hope the day is kind to everyone and take care x

Good Morning all from East Staffordshire where it is still dark and feels mild.
It is as we thought DGS did indeed have my smile?
I can hear him waking up now!!
EEV no am dying to know if you had to box DGS ears yesterday.

Off out on a walk today to meet friends,they haven’t seen DGS since last Christmas.
Must go, I will pop back later.
Take care everyone and stay safe❤️

Good morning dark here in Leicestershire but hopefully dry as I am meeting a friend for a walk.

Up early as Sainsburys are arriving any minute.

Hope you feel better Urmston. Typical that the government changed their guidelines on quarantining just as you come out of it.

Forgot. Urm, how did you get on re. ear? Hope GP was able to help.

Good morning from a still dark E Kent.
Posted a pair of rousers and 4 pairs of knickers for Iris, yesterday. Only 6 more to adapt and two pairs of trousers to make. I was surprised at how expensive buttons are these days. Getting a bit bored with altering knickers.
Lots of rugby for DH today. Keeps him happy.
Nothing much on today, just walk round town on the walls as usual, then sewing/cooking or whatever.
Have a good day, everyone.

Good Morning everyone from a dark Severnside.

I intended to go out tomorrow but as heavy rain is forecast I’m going to go today.

I was able to get my haircut yesterday. I could feel the water running down on my hair wash and when it was all finished I found it had gone right through to my knickers ?

I hope you all have the best day you can and Urm enjoys her freedom ?

Good morning Mick and all to come. We had a very wet day day yesterday in north Surrey.
GrandMattie good to hear things are progressing so well with Iris.
I have work again today but will be my last shift before Christmas to enable me to feel “safe” to see my parents and the DGDs. However I fear we will be going into tier 3 this week as numbers are rising substantially in Surrey.
Dog walk this morning and online Pilates. DH always makes me a bacon and egg sandwich when I work a late shift, yummy.
Stay safe and have a good day to all

Take Care,
Mick
