I am sat on my own watching the daft but enjoyable masked singer - I can never guess any of them but it makes me laugh! I am also cross stitching.

Started with a head cold yesterday so not left the house today and it seems to have done the trick as I am feeling much better.

Hope everyone else is having a contented Saturday night

I’ve spent 2 hours playing darts. On my own upstairs in the spare room. Good for hand eye coordination and mental arithmetic 🎯

I would have played for longer but my shoulder was complaining and I needed to use some ibuprofen gel 😆

Watched " society of the snow " on netflix based on true story of the young rugby players whose plane crashed in the andes mountains and how they survived . A much better film that the original film called " miracle of the andes " I think

Watching Nomadland. Don't think I'll stay to the end in an hour, rather disappointing. BUT I hate giving up on films....will it end happily??

It’s a bit dreary and depressing isn’t it?

I watched the Masked singer too and really enjoyed it's daftness with great costumes.
Then watched The House of Gucci which I recorded at Christmas. Lady Gaga is brilliant in it. She's not only a marvellous singer but a good actress too.

I watched two David Attenborough programmes with DS and GD. The programmes were about sea monsters and the Jurassic Coast,

Monica , we also went to the cinema to watch Nabucco, thoroughly enjoyed it. We love the opera live screenings and it brings opera to everyone and takes the musical snobbery away!!
Bought fish and chips on the way home and watching Shirley Bassey now on BBC2 - A celebration of her 50 years plus in entertainment. She is simply amazing and her voice has not lost its magic.

Went for a lovely big family meal at an Italian Restaurant….9 adults and 4 little ones. Superb meal. The GC always love playing together - it’s a joy to watch them. All in all a Saturday well spent , with family.

I think this must be the most unusual answer. 😁

nadateturbe I used to enjoy playing darts at home with my children when they were young teens. During the dreadful solitude of lockdown early in the pandemic I jokingly said to my son on a video call “ I wish I still had a dartboard in the house”

2 days later a courier appeared at the door with a dartboard and a set of darts courtesy of my son. I love it. When my grandchildren stay overnight we often have a game and I have a solo game at least once a week.

I love playing darts. The hand eye coordination certainly gets a work out but also the competitive spirit and the cajouling. Lots of good fun

nadateturbe Sun 07-Jan-24 21:38:43

Grannynannywanny that was so thoughtful of your son.

Great minds think alike Monica 😊!
