Marilyn I'll have to get some coke and whisky in try it for when I get back from Chester! I get back the 27th Dec and back to work on the 3rd Jan.

A wee chuckle for the day .........

An elderly woman was telling her grown up daughter about a date she had been on with an eighty-eight year old man.

'I had to slap his face three times in the course of the evening!' exclaims the old dear.

The daughter was horrified.

' Fancy him getting fresh with you at his age!' she said.

'No, it wasn't that' , explained the mother.

'I had to slap his face to keep him awake'.

Evening all
Well done most of the decorating now. Just a few small bits to finish off and left them for our daughter.

Went shopping this afternoon. Now have the beef for Christmas day. Got some gifts too. Also some lovely fresh clementines with leaves on !!! Christmas must be coming, I remember only having these at Christmas.

Popped in to see our son who was waiting to hear from the hospital that he could pick up his wife after a minor investigation. He let us know she seems OK right now. We will go to see them in a day or two.

Then our youngest dropped in on her way home for a chat, but she was surprised we had been to her flat and nearly finished it all off for them. She said we shouldn't have and had a rest.

Tonight I hope to write some more cards.

Have a lovely evening everyone
