Good morning from a clear, frosty morning. The Beeb says it is -2C. Jolly cold. The sky was clear enough for the moon to look gorgeous, and the planet (Mars? Mercury?) to be very vis.
I went into our little town to make an appointment for a haircut and ended coming home with it shorter! DL went in the afternoon for a cut too.
More difficulties from vendor’s solicitor, but things are moving, I trust. I’m feeling exhausted from keeping DL upbeat. Only today and tomorrow, she’s leaving on Monday 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Today, DL is being taken to the church coffee morning/Christmas raffle. It’s her first “public” outing. I’ll join her later, after doing a spot of shopping.
I had a lovely chat with both my remaining children yesterday. They are good people, I’m very proud of how they have turned out.
So pleased that, despite all your difficulties, your heart drugs have finally been sourced and dispensed, Maydoll. Lots of drug problems at the moment. I don’t know if it’s worldwide.
I hope everyone has a warm weekend, both metaphorically and physically. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩❤️

Morning Mick, morning All. Haven’t looked out but assume frosty.

In spite of my misgivings enjoyed the coffee get together yesterday. Frustrating afternoon as the booked call from the surgery pharmacist was two hours late. Worth it in the end as she offered a longer time between repeat prescriptions, two months rather than the current one.

Off along two motorways today for a pre Christmas get together with both sons and their families. Our elder son is hosting. I’m quite excited as we’re not often all in the same place at the same time.

Mr C suggested we go early and also visit an NT we’re both very fond of. Good idea, if we get moving early enough and those motorways are kind to us. It’s been an enjoyable if rushing about sort of a week, next week is much quieter.

Enjoy your weekend Mick, hope the hotel is comfortable and the marker not too busy

Thinking of all those with worries, hope Saturday is kind to us all.

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark, dry and cold here in brackley this morning.
Yesterdays bus trip to Bicester was chaos with a accident just prior to Junction 10 of M40 causing tailbacks southbound on A43 added journey time , with more delays going into Bicester as people were heading for Bicester Village .
Today , the first part of my break with a coach trip to Weston S Mare , the coach firm holiday arm have got the whole hotel , with a Xmas dinner tonight , returning tomorrow but we have a break at Gloucester on the way tday for the Victorian Xmas market .
Take Care,
Mick
