Hope you have a lovely time Ginns <3

I am back 'you know where' on Friday but then that is my last visit until 7th January to see my lovely 'Prof' up in Clatterbridge so I can forget about it all until after Christmas :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

Good to see you back....hope you have warmed up and filled up!

I'm off out tonight on a work Christmas do..........not teaching in the morning, just as well!

THANK YOU CYNTHIA !!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

I am back now - I am cold, tired and starving hungry so I am very pleased to be greeted by that lovely breakfast ;-) :-D :-D

I will have this and then sort out what I am going to do for the rest of the day.

Dea Xxx

Good morning everyone :-D

Dea, I will leave some bacon and tomatoes for you on your return. Hope it all goes well ((hugs)) <3

Mo, my relative was from Manitoba. I have the phone number of the son but think I may write instead of calling out of the blue. :-)


Having lunch with a friend today and then picking up grandson........but first, I am going to pick up my new specs, so....SEE you later..... :-D :-D

I'll have a quick cuppa with you Dea <3

Good morning all :-)

Just popped in for a quick cup of tea as I have to be out early this morning to visit my 'favourite place' :-(

Will have my breakfast when I get back,

Dea Xxx

We can eat the orange jello with carrots whilst playing charades.

Where did your fellow live,Cyns??

Mo <3

Charades Jonesey. Don't forget the charades!!! :-D


Am feeling so chuffed at the moment. I decided to look at the Canadian 1921 census and spotted one of my Canadian families on it. Then I found a link to an obituary of my first cousin twice removed.....I thought he had died years and years ago, but no, he died in 2009 aged 97!!!

Just wish I had found him before my mum died as she often told me how she used to play on the farm with this chap when she was a child in Canada. I am now trying to contact his adopted son and family. :-D :-D

After such excitement, I really must go to bed to calm down.....

Night night everyone.....

Soon be Christmas and we can have some nuts, some dates, some tangerines, some chestnuts, some parsnips, some sprouts, some roast tatties, some roast turkey (Quorn Chik'n cutlets available for vegetarians), some stuffing, some cranberry sauce, some roast pork complete with crackling, some Pigs in Blankets, some mashed potatoes with grated cheese, some peas, some onion gravy, some Christmas Pudding with brandy butter and custard, some Mince Pies, some single cream, some crackers containing paper hats, useless prezzies and daft jokes, some Sherry, some sparkling wine, some baked honey glazed ham, some Brandy, something to nibble whilst listening to Her Royal Maj's Christmas message, some buttered finger rolls, some lettuce, some cherry tomatoes, some celery and some sliced redskin onions

Gins a break is just what you need enjoy <3

Hope your lights stay on x

Cynthia glad you finally made it to the opticians

We got quite a bit of shopping done today still got loads to do though.

Just saw on the Scottish news that the city farm my parents helped to set up and that my Dad was manager in and then when he "retired" a volunteer till a few months before he died aged 81 has had to close to visitors due to damage caused by the high winds.

The farm is called Lamont Farm and it has never closed in 35 years.

People are donating food etc for the animals but they are struggling and the insurance won't cover the full cost of the repairs. :-(

My GD's are the 4th generation of my family to visit/ be involved with the farm really hope that donations flood in.

So many people have worked so hard to keep it going and it has given pleasure to so many children and adults.

Oh dear!!

Eeek....alarms are going off left right and centre here. JB just got home to say the lights are out all over the place, including traffic lights

Our neighbours lights are out too, but ours are OK. We did have problems with the electric (underground) a year or so ago and they fitted new cables...maybe that's why

Now we have sirens from ES

:-0

Finally got to the opticians today - only about 3 months late!

All over and done with quite quickly - not much change in my vision but am going to try bi-focals instead of having 2 pairs of specs - reading and driving. I don't have to wear them all the time so will see how I get on. :-D


Ironing done, prezzies wrapped and a visitor entertained......although he did most of the talking... :-D


Time to eat methinks!!

Ey Up~~~~

Only two more days and we break for Christmas (on Friday, not teaching Tue/Wed)

Will have to go and get JBs gifts this week.....his list includes exciting things such as, socks, slippers :-\

Good morning everyone,

Am off to the post office to queue :-(

Hitting the shops today and OH has a sore throat and feels dreadful.

Tough pretend you are a woman, grit your teeth and carry on ;-)

I will be kind we will shop at indoor malls :-)

Good morning all :-D

Thank you for the lovely breakfast Ginns and Cynthia <3 <3

Yes, I brought lots of tomatoes and mushrooms - they are under the grill as we speak ;-) :-D

Dea Xxx

Good morning everyone :-D

Thanks Gins but I nipped out and got some bacon.....cos we can't let our Dea go without her morning bacon sandwich can we? ;-)

Hope she brings some tomatoes and mushrooms with her.


Jonesey, I know just what you mean - you need to space the colours out nicely - never putting peas next to the sprouts! My daughter frequently asks why we have carrots so often. Because of the colour I tell her....:-D


Wet, windy and chilly here today brrrr....have just sent OH to sort out the washing in the dryer. Got to keep him active!

See you later......~~

Mornin all~~~~~

No jello for breakfast but......

Tea and coffee ready, muffins and crumpets in the oven

Couldn't catch a pig this morning!

how about a sweet potato casserole??


........... but NOT with marshmallows or meringue on top!

Humph.
Men.
I am NOT changing my request.

It goes slightly behind the stuffing and to the right of the parsnips.

Geez
