Good morning Mick and all to come. A bright and sunny start to the day in North Surrey.
Shopping trip was successful yesterday and we have purchased a new sofa (delivery 13 weeks), now need to prod DS to get project managing on the improvements I want doing.
DGS1 had an end of school “fun day” yesterday which unfortunately was spoilt when a wasps nest was disturbed by their camp fire smoke and resulted in 6 pupils and 2 teachers getting stung. Poor DGS was one on them with 3 stings on his ankles but he was a brave soldier with a story to tell.
Pancakes promised for breakfast. DH will do the school run and I will do the dog walk before it gets too warm. Bathroom cleaning and then off to work for a late shift.
I have been organising a family get together and tomorrow is the day, feel very fortunate with the weather forecast. We are picnicking in the park, 4 generations, 26 of us. Last minute details to ensure seating for oldies and shading and that we don’t all bring the same food.
DH was watching the golf yesterday Grandmattie, looks a lovely setting.
Sending Marydoll best wishes and hope you are feeling better soon
Happy Friday to all ☀️?

Good morning from a grey E Kent. We are promised sunshine this afternoon.
Today is Christmas Day. We are celebrating with our boys to compensate for DS1 not having one in India. It will be lovely to have them all here. Turkey, crackers, silly hats, the whole shebang.
Now that the Open is fully open, the traffic past our house is horrendous, bumper to bumper from 0530 to 2200, making it hard to leave the house. Added to which there are about five trains an hour which close down the roads…. Thank goodness it is all over by Monday. Then the cleanup and deconstruction start….
Hope all our absentees including Taichi Nan, and *Marydoll” are doing ok.
May today bring peace to all the GraMmingos. ????☀️

Morning Michael and all who follow. Sun hasn't broken through yet here in the north. Looks promising though. My happy share is that son with NHS who had leave application turned down has now had it approved which means I will be having a yearned for visit. Like many, longest we've ever been apart so........ Yippee!
