‘Evening All’
Glad we activated the heating last night! It’s Baltic out isn’t it? We’ve had a hunkering down and keeping warm day. I’ve chatted to both daughters and my stepfather on the phone. It’s heartwarming as a mum to hear your adult children are relaxed and happy in their homes, getting ready for Christmas.
I’m about to fry rib eye steaks with onions then Himself is going to watch the England match. I’m into The White Lotus on Sky Atlantic so well both be happy bunnies this evening. Right, time to pour a glass of red.
Enjoy your Saturday evenings kitcheners whatever your plans.

GrannySomerset York is a very special city. Sahara clothing is ultra chic. You won't regret treating yourself to top quality garments. They are made to last. Have yourself a very jolly evening.
You must be greatly looking forward to your granddaughter's concert.
You too, annsixty. You deserve as many jollies as you can cope with.
Mumofmadboys Lucky you! Lucky birthday boy! Your choice of location sounds amazing. Enjoy every special moment.
Blossoming No snow hereabouts. Although a snow plow was seen trundling by. 
Llfl Sorry about the migraine. I trust that it passes quickly. Mr Soop suffers from time to time. A buggeration with bells on.
Although I am not a footie fan, I have been rooting for Morocco during their match played this afternoon. They won. Their goalie is a star. I also finished a munro of ironing. 
Time to log off and look forward to lighting the log fire, relaxing and enjoying a Saturday evening G&T a little later. My best wishes to you all.
Have you noticed that we are heading towards a new kitchen sometime in the near future? You had better believe it. 
Back with again tomorrow. Thank you for your company. 
Frosty good morning greetings to you lovely lot.
Yia your presence and deep love for your son will be a tonic for him, I'm sure. He certainly needs your support. May he grow stronger and more positive as time goes by. Take good care of yourself. You matter. 
muse Your tree is very pretty. Hand-made ornaments are the best, in my opinion. I approve of the slabs. They lend a rustic feel to the display. Take care on the icy pavements when you go for your x ray on Sunday.
Jax The very mention of fish and chips makes me drool. It is my number one favourite meal.
Blossoming All shades of purple ranging from palest lavender appeal to me when I select any clothing or accessories.

Nannytopsy Two years is a shockingly long time between your diagnosis and seeing a surgeon. I guess that I shall also need to wait just as long. I've had both hips replaced...in the "olden days", when the NHS was under far less pressure. x
kitty Your Bertie may be as tall and certainly as handsome when he grows up. That is a good photograph. Will you print it for Bertie? I bet he'd love that on his bedroom wall.
And talking about disparity in height. DH saw the same basketball player in JL. We are all mortified that he approached him and asked someone to take a photo but he remembered Bertie.
Hello Kitcheners. The log fire's a glow and the mulled wine is doing the same for me. I braved an hour decorating the tree outside on the veranda. Looks grand, my nan would say. It has lot of hand made adornments, I've gathered over the years. Excuse the muddy slabs. Much soil was needed for the tub. Water and brush will be out tomorrow.
What a full morning Blosssoming. I wish you all the best in the New Year with the retinal specialist. Hope your eyes have recovered tomorrow.
It sounds like 'Eau Sauvage' is bringing back lots of lovely memories Urms.
Freezing here in Cornwall too Yia. I remember so well my walks to school in Derbyshire after a snow fall. Passing huge drifts. In later years, driving was non too pleasant either. It will do your DS good to have you there. You too.
Stay safe and warm soop if the snow comes your way. I'm with you on the reaching elderly-ness is not for wimps. The physio did a fair bit of twisting and manoeuvring of my leg when examining my hip. Off to the hospital on Sunday yes Sunday for the x ray. Good luck with your knee.
I'm expecting a call from my DS on Sunday. He is starting to cope with his work pressures. DGD2 is there with him for two days so it will be lovely to have a quick chat with her. She has been so withdrawn of late. He is so supportive but says the mock GCSE's have been quite stressful for her.
I think more mulled wine is needed. MrM has just come in from the cold. I'll now recap on more of the kitchen news I have missed this week.
kitty Bertie is growing into a fine young man.
Blossoming I am pleased to hear that you are being well cared for. Eyes are so very precious.
Went to GP at 11:45 with a very troublesome knee. Have been relying on my arm crutch both inside and outside house. He checked movement Ouchie! Says I have advanced osteoarthritis and damaged cartilage. Made appointment for us to go to hospital there and then for Xray. All done! So...he thinks a surgeon will either advise knee replacement or cartilage surgery. Reaching elderly-ness is not for wimps.
Running late. Love to you all. Snow forecast, so keep warm and stay safe.
Until tomorrow.
An early ‘Evening All’.
By, it’s cold tonight and can you believe ... I’ve had to Turn the Heating On! 🥶 Don’t fancy a shower in a bit then dry my hair in a cold bedroom, brr!
We went to the Trafford Centre on the bus today. All our Christmas shopping is now done. The mall wasn’t too busy either which was great. No need to go again now till 2023. 😁
Himself guided me into Swarovski (had to look up how to spell that!) to choose something for Christmas that I’d like. I chose a pair of very bling hoops and of course I shall be wearing them tonight for my book club Christmas meal. To be honest we don’t always bother buying for each other - sometimes, yes, sometimes not. No rhyme or reason to it. Now of course I’ll need to buy a present in return! I’m thinking a bottle of ‘Eau Savage’ by Dior after shave (or eau de toilette as it’s properly called). He splashed this on when we got wed in 1974 and I still like it. Him too! ....
🤣
Lovely photo kitty what a great achievement!
