Happy anniversary to you both Kalu, 💐💐

I’ve just picked up 2 brown bins full of wet walnut leaves, I’m pooped, the bins are rammed and I still have plenty to pick up.

The Christmas gift is strapped into the car for tomorrow, just the gifts to wrap.

the sun is shining, MrOops has made me a milky coffee with biscuits and I have a new book to read……so all is good.

Have a good rest of the day folks.

Happy wedding anniversary Mr&MrsKalu 🎉🥂

Isn’t it just? Grandmachrisy. I think that’s why it’s such a popular thread over the years. We’ve gotten to ‘know’ one another because we share small snippets of our lives on this regular basis.

Long may we continue - and any readers who’d like to become newbies here are always warmly welcomed.

So right, Urms.
But you’ve stopped asking newbies how much their house cost! I remember being puzzled and a little outraged that you should ask such “personal” details. Being rather naive, I didn’t see the joke! 😂

Good morning Mick, Annie and all. It is cold,,,but our lovely cleaner is here working her magic. The window cleaner has also been, and I have booked him to come next week to clean the gutters, fascias and soffits?
Happy Anniversary Mr &MrsKalu 💐🎂🍾
Marydoll hope you soon feel better. Keep warm and rest.
Lovely to see some pictures of your brand new bathroom GrandMattie, nearly all finished now, enjoy!
Our trusty washing machine broke down on Monday, just after I had stripped the beds and put all the bedding in for a wash. The water came in, it turned a couple of times, then the under wall cupboard lights went out, and the machine stopped. DH went into the garage and reset the fuse; start machine again, and off went the lights again. Well, the plug for the W/M is down at the bottom of the cupboard, difficult for both of us to get to. So DH collected the kneeling stool from the shed and we managed to check the plug fuse. That was OK, so it was the machine. Called a recommended repair chap, he reckons it is the heater element, so will order one, and try and come before the end of the week. We bought the Miele W/M in 2006, and I think this is the first time we have ever had to repair it, so it doesn't owe us anything. But, Oh how you miss it when it's not working! Luckily we have a serviced Launderette, not too far away, so got the soggy washing washed, dried and now put away.
DH has just made a coffee, and we will probably be off out shortly.
Have a good day one and all.

Happy 49th wedding anniversary kalu ❤️

Happy anniversary to you both Kalu

Congratulations Kalu.
harrigran, each time I see you and georgesgran posting I wonder where in Durham you both are 😀. I think you live in the far north ( possibly near the town that used to be red), georgesgran in the centre, as for me, I’m in the far south.

Sar53 o totally agree with you regarding the new M & S in Lakeside, I found it very dark and claustrophobic compared to where it was previously sited.

Another coincidence I am due to go to Bluewater with DS and D in L (the ones that live near you) on Monday, happy shopping 🛍️

Oh Maw, what a wonderful day out. I’m green with envy.

Good morning one and all from a frosty West Cheshire.
Brrr, I feel your pain Liberty, hope that tank gets sorted and you can defrost yourself.
Christmas light trail sounds lovely Pittcity, that should make your walk enjoyable throughout December.
Hope you feel better soon Cornergran, you’ve been through the mill lately.
Enjoy your holiday Roses.
Lovely wreath Alygran.
Matt never fails to hit the nail on the head does he Urms.
Have a good day everyone

Good morning all from a heavy frost covered but otherwise, sunny Glasgow.

Only outing today is to have my bloods done, still trying to get my BP down to a better reading.
I bought a heart shaped helium balloon yesterday which I have put in DH’s room to see when he wakens. It’s our 49th wedding anniversary and we are happy we can share it together.
Not much else going on today and thankfully no shopping to do as I noticed the Christmas shopping frenzy has begun.

Enjoy time with your family Brook. DD1 wears a Dry Robe for dog walking.
Feel better soon Marydoll. A lurgy is the last thing you need.

Best wishes to all for a pleasant day and kind thoughts to those with worries.

Good morning everyone from a sunny and frosty Northampton; 0°C outside, and forecast to stay round about there all day. I kept the heating on low all night, and I think I will change to the winter duvet next time I change the bed.

Buses packed both ways yesterday on my outing to Milton Keynes; had to stand for the first part of the journey - no-one offered me a seat!
Got a lovely dressing gown in John Lewis for elder DGD, the Next one will be returned on Friday. I did have a look round other shops, but nothing compared anywhere near the JL one.
Had a nice lunch in Ask, then ventured down to M&S. Looked at the slippers but wasn't taken with any of them. Also tried on some black jeans, but even the short ones were too long for me! And wrinkly round the legs! All I bought were some sweets, my favourite wine gums.

Book club this afternoon, last meeting before Christmas, so I have got a dozen mince pies out of the freezer to take, plus a bottle of fizz. We shall be discussing Kate Atkinson's Shrines of Gaiety, which I very much enjoyed.

Wrap up warm if you're going out today, otherwise stay in the warm and snuggle!

Good morning all. I just fumbled and lost my post - entirely my own silly fault! I was paying too much attention to the birds on the bird table tussling over the last of the suet balls. I must go and exchange my cosy hoodie for some warm clothes and get out there on replenishing duty.
It's really cold here today because the wind is coming straight down from the North Pole. This little house is well hunkered down in the landscape, but nothing escapes that north wind! No sign of snow on the hills yet though, and there has usually been some by this time of year.
Yesterday was a good day - the tai chi class went well, the fish shop was well-stocked and I had a coffee with a friend. What more could a body ask for
Today holds I know not what - but nothing if I don't move myself!
Have a good day everyone, and I hope the poorly and those heavy in heart have a better day today x

Good morning everyone from south Manchester. It’s misty and frosty here. We’ve not been awake long! Both enjoying TIB at present. I plan to write the Christmas cards today and get the ones off to Spain and Australia.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning from a foggy Co Armagh, it’s 2 deg at the moment
Yesterday went well , Dentist doesn’t need to see me for a year , £25 well spent
Off to club now , then out for lunch with my Daughter,
Glad to see some happy people , and thinking of others 💐🕯️

Good morning all 🥶.
Sorry to hear of your heating problems Liberty. I hope it gets sorted asap! 🤞.
Your flat sounds perfect now GM . Home sweet home! 💐.
How annoying GG about your cleaning fairies. Perhaps they have the dreaded winter bugs.
Have an easy day Marydoll. Youve been busy of late.

Today Dh might go fishing but it’s too cold really. I will go to Mass and then my two friends will pick me up for a charity Soup and mince pie lunch. Our elderly Bridge friend organises these lunches a few times during the year. She’s 91 and a force to be reckoned with. Last month received the MBE for charity work. Amazing lady. ❤️.

Keep well and cosy everyone.

Good morning from a cold and frosty Essex coast.

Yesterday we went to Lakeside, mainly to have a look in the new M&S. I was very underwhelmed by it. I much prefer the large one at Bluewater where I am going on Monday with DD2.

DH has gone to his boat, well wrapped up. I think lots of coffee will be drunk probably with a dash of brandy in it.

I have Christmas presents to wrap, admin to attend to and maybe a little dusting if I can conjure up some enthusiasm for it.

Enjoy your day everyone and keep warm xxx
