Anyway its Friday and Fish & Chips plus usual bus trip to Bicester .

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy Lancashire, currently 7°C.

Yesterday I went to the pharmacy to collect a prescription and I remembered to send a birthday card to a niece. Nothing in the diary for today, so I shall see what the day brings. 2 outings in 2 days, what a giddy exciting life I lead grin. If the weather stays calm after yesterday’s storm I may get out for a short wobble. MrB will lend me his arm.

Good news on the eye test Ashcombe. Hope you’re recovering after the nasty fall BlueSapphire, be careful with that ankle. Hope your freezer and freezer contents are insured Marydoll, what a hectic day. We used to visit a Korean restaurant in Newcastle when I was working on a project there Liberty, the food was always delicious.

Safe journey if you’re out and about, I wish you all a good day 🌻

Good morning from a dampish Central region. Marydoll your disasters continue. I would have wept too especially at this time of year with Xmas food in there. Had a busy day yesterday trip to M&S for some food goodies then several other shops visited. GD2 came after school as usual but she is very easy to entertain.
In the evening we were at the theatre. Well of sorts GD2 goes to Rubber Chicken Theatre club which is drama from the tinies right up to older teenagers. They put on shows at the end of the term and this year it is the pantomime “Knight”. It was hilarious. All the little mistakes just make it. At one point the lady who runs it had to come on instead of one of the little ones as they had to go to the toilet. Our Dg was as they say buzzing when we took her home goodness knows when she went to sleep. Another two performances to go. Family spread out so somebody at each performance. Have a good weekend if you can.

Good morning everyone on a lovely sunny morning here. It’s been so dark and wet, it’s good to see the sun again.
Best of all both daughters are flying in this morning for a pre Christmas weekend visit. SiL coming too but I doubt that he and DH will get a word in edgeways.

I keep seeing mention of Christmas cards. DD’s are taking family ones and friends local to them back with them………
I'd better get on and do them then!

Good morning all!

Last night for dinner I had a Clayton Park Bakery chicken and gravy pie with corned beef and tuna/sweetcorn, washed down with a 500ml bottle of Inch's Medium Apple Cider and piggin' gorgeous it was too!

At work yesterday, hubby saw a mouse by my right foot! He scurried off out of the door when he realized he'd been seen! What a gorgeous little babe! It was absolutely PIDDLING down all day, torrential and freezing cold so we hope he found somewhere warm and safe to stay.

Morning all. After a hectic morning I’m just starting to read your posts. Dgd was dropped off late this morning so was late for school! It’s left me slightly discombobulated 😀.
Went to a local town yesterday for a pedicure, manicure and eyebrow treatment. There used to be a direct bus but it was stopped earlier this year. The journey now involves two buses and a wait in the middle. I was like a drowned rat when I finally got home. Pilates last night and after nine months I can honestly say that I’m now feeling the benefits of the classes.
I must, must, write my Christmas cards ( she says hopefully).
Have a god day one and all.
