So sorry to hear your very sad news BlueSapphire 💐
Hope your son’s ankle recovers quickly Mirzuna

Fairly quiet day with just upstairs to clean and take some Christmas food items from the freezer ready to take to DD2 & family on Monday. We will stay over. I’ll probably need a lie down for a week afterwards!

Hope all those who are unwell rally in time for Christmas.

Good morning, bright but windy again today, I will start to ‘curse my Gammon’ later today (a La Phoenix) and I have mince pies to make.
Then some cleaning and ironing to do.
Ive abandoned my ideas of making cakes, sausage rolls, trifle and flapjack as we really will have enough food once I’ve started cooking later today. It’s only 2 days and we won’t starve.

Good morning everyone from south Manchester. It’s dry and seems mild out. No plans hurrah! A very easy day ahead. That said, we may drive over to see my stepfather for an hour this afternoon. If so, I will do my Christian Duty and pop into the larder for him (on the busiest weekend of the year 😱) if he needs any ‘messages’ getting. I’m kind like that.

Here’s Matt.

Good morning Mick and all from a dull northwest coast.
My music club friend’s mulled wine and mince pie morning yesterday turned into a practically all day event. Very enjoyable with a good turn out from the club and she had prepared a lovely spread, pate, various cheeses etc etc. a little music and a bit too much mulled wine for me followed by a little Prosecco. I don’t drink now so am now feeling it. Another guest gave me a lift home, it’s not far, then he stayed drinking coffee and talking the hind leg off a donkey. I’m taking a taxi to pick my car up.
DD arrives later and my celebratory day means I’m behind with Christmas prep🙄. We must pay for our pleasures!

I’m so sorry Bluesapphire, so sad and send my condolences and thoughts to all with worries 🌺🎄

Good morning everyone from Severnside. It’s dry with swiftly moving clouds.

I’ve taken an age to read this morning as I got sidetracked by the Fisherman’s Friends links and then as usual for me I see another song I want to listen to.

I’ve some ironing to do and will potter today.

Have a good day all 🎄

Good morning Mick and all from cloudy grey Lancashire, currently 10°C. If it wasn’t for the wind it would be unseasonably warm.

No real plans for today other than a little housework. We were late to bed (again!) as we were binge watching that brilliant Nordic Noir series The Bridge. We watch quite a lot of foreign language films.

Have a good day whatever you’re doing. Sending love and healing thoughts to all who are under the weather.

I was brought up Methodist and after much googling realise that we sang O For a Thousand Tongues to the same tune as Joy to the World. I have heard While Shepherds sung to Lyngham and love it.

Oh BlueSapphire such a shock for you all, quite traumatic especially so at this time of the year when family plans will have been made in full expectation of fulfilment. So sad. Please accept my condolences on your loss. 💐

Good Morning Michael and all
It’s a lovely bright day so far
A few hiccups here , both ears infected , bloodshot eye and the veg are mouldy !!
I am lucky , I can’t hear the complaints , I’m in my own wee bubble 🤣
I’m cooking ham for my Son , it’s in the slow cooker where it is ensconced in apple juice and peppercorns, my hand slipped and there are a few extra fell in !
Thinking of everyone 🕯️🙏🏼

Very late reading all your posts today. A quiet day at home finishing present wrapping. Had a nice catch up yesterday with some friends for coffee and mince pies. I am sitting here counting my blessings after reading some of your posts. We have all our family near by with no estrangements, we all have reasonably good health although some chronic conditions and although not wealthy by any means we all have a comfortable lifestyle. What more can anyone ask for at this or anytime of the year. We are very lucky. Enjoy the next few days everyone as best you can. P.S I hate New Year.

Good morning from Glasgow. A late start for me as I slept soundly for 10hrs when I did eventually fall asleep. Another stormy day here, a coory doon day sounds perfect.

GM, I follow your mantra, carpe diem but there are days when it is beyond my reach. I hope your battle is quickly over💐
Such sad news and a shock for you Blue. My condolences to you and your family. 💐
Safe travels Brook haste ye back.

Have the best day possible all and as always, heartfelt good wishes to all who are soldiering on through difficult times.
