I do wonder what the 'boy' thinks when he sees the advert, he could be a father himself now. Isn't it the advert from many years ago... or am I mistaken

So looking forward to the rest of your blogs on this great tour of yours. I have always fancied Bermuda. Never been. Your fair critiques are a great read for us.

Ooooh word for word what we have said Terrierjohn . I like kids but when that boy runs on I cringe. I wonder if it was done on purpose.. kind of reverse advertising.. after all we are talking about it. (I know what I mean 🙃)

Very pleased to hear your good news Avril. Even at 5.30 in the morning!😂

and to relax and do something you enjoy doing for the rest of the evening. And to eat chocolate if you have any over from Christmas (or finish any Prosecco!😃

Yes I got nearly four hours. I saw there is a bad weather warning for this week ie ice and snow, so have just done a food shop online just in case. Only a day or two early. Good Luck at the Drs Lincslady or rather 'fellow owl;😄 The cheese sandwich was delicious. Just off back to bed.

Good morning.. any night owls about? I am a food fancier who gets cravings. Here I am really fancying a humble cheese sandwich. I am also trying to lose weight. Should I /shouldn't I. I never have had good willpower!!🤣

As we missed having our own turkey this year we managed to finally find a turkey crown a few days ago. We missed the cold meat and pickles next day, then the turkey stew then the curry. I am cooking it as a roast today, but have decided to do it all in the Ninja. I am wishing myself good luck.

Thanks Kalos, sounds like a good service. I'll ask my pharmacy.

Kalos I have googled everything I can think of re Sure Med packs and have found the makers/distributors, but can't find anything about chemists who provide this service. Even giving my post code didn't help. Any ideas? My meds are increasing and getting a bit complicated. I would even pay a small charge. Goodnight x

I enjoyed your last honest and fair 'log' Selborne. I am going to try to resist reading it every day and read en bloc every few days or so. Looking forward to them. Best wishes to you and Lady Selborne for an amazing trip.

Enjoy every minute.. Have fun We have no cruises booked yet, but are taking off to Potters Five Lakes in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to it. ps,, OH said we had a podiatrist appointment this afternoon. I felt something was amiss. Drove there. Wrong day!! So embarrassing being turned away My New Years Resolution of no more ear bashing worked!!! I said nothing and fought the urge to gloat... nearly😄

Oh dear, am I the only person here who likes grey days. Also grey cities.I agree there is too much rain at the moment but as I just said to OH, I would love to be in Wales at the moment, walking the fields, hood up and wind blowing. I wish I could but I can't. We are supposed to go to town today. I would happily go in the rain, but OH has suggested it might not be a good idea with my scooter or two sticks🤣 Strange, we are all different. Sitting on a desert island beach just doesn't appeal. I am getting better, I am liking summer a little bit now. I often wonder if it was something to do with being brought up high up in an old victorian house ... well in an attic really. I just don't know.. but at least one person is happy if the sun don't shine 🙃😊 Please don't throw me out. I like it here!

🤣 Shouted this one out to OH in another room. He laughed out loud. Hope the neighbours weren't listening🙃

We loved the "Stay Home, do nothing, go to bed early" Ticketmaster ticket a few pages back, but cracked up when Yorkshire Phil asked if it was formal night. Still laughing now Thank you x Happy New Year to everyone xx❤️

You just chat away Avril. You've listened to us lot enough times. Really hope Frank makes a fast recovery, and is soon on the mend. He's in the right place. Take care of yourself too .. Best wishes v x

The box!!!!" Preferably with a nice hot cup of tea.🙃

Just popped into Tescos. Thought I'd better let you know... The hot cross buns are in!!! Actually labelled as hot cross buns. Also saw a pub saying "Book now for Mother's Day Lunch" I give up!🙃🤣

I woke up this morning craving turkey and ham stew, but we went out for Christmas Lunch and out Boxing Day. The plan was that yesterday when we were out at my daughter's inlaws and we would 'nick' some leftovers from them and bring them back, but when we left people were still eating (and drinking) so we slipped away without asking for a doggy bag.The doggy bag would have been given happily as we have spoken many times about the young ones wasting good food.🙃 I feel so cheated out of one of the best Christmas things that we are going to buy a small turkey crown at the weekend then two days later it will be time for the stew. I won't put vinegar in like OH does😀😍

So sorry for those affected by covid. I hope you all recover well. My daughter works in a Private Hospital and it is quite bad there. She wouldn't come here the other day just in case. I think there is more of it about than they lead us to believe.

Better not comment on here or I'll spend Christmas Day on the naughty step. Have you seen what's been going on on the Ambassador site. A right shenanigans. Bit complicated for me to explain but 800 cancelled for their Christmas Caribbean cruise for saving 6000 short trips. You will get it when you see it.Too late to get anything else. Very sorry for them.

Sometimes we look at the calendar and moan as we have booked too many things. Sometimes we ask each other what we have planned and the answer is 'nothing'. BUT the most asked question is "what day is it?" (That is apart from "Now what did I come in this room for!")

Just popped into Morrisons for newspapers and it's almost empty,. Also, I had e mails yesterday offering me an Ocado slot slot for Christmas and also something called Tesco Whoosh delivery almost immediately, and yesterday there was my Iceland order delivered in under three hours. Add that to the 15p vegetable war that is going on at the moment, and it makes me think they are all struggling for custom this Christmas. Josy, love the tree and so glad you decided to do it.

Thank you everyone for your good wishes. I wont say anything about pain or lack of it or it will all go wrong. Eddie 99 .. welcome to the ATE Club (awake too early), that's a new name, and it is very exclusive you know and only opens in the dead of night to a few elite😄 Josy, as everyone says, you must do as you feel right, but can only say that if it was me then putting up the tree and a few bits and pieces would make me feel better. Merry Christmas and a Happier New Year to everyone and thank you all for your online support, and friendship. xx

Now I'm not up with the fairies. Yesterday's procedure went well. I wont mention pain or lack of it or it will all go wring. It was very funny in parts like me threatening to run off with the anaesthetist but what happened about the knickers really cheered us up. What made us laugh is putting on the dreaded backless gown I asked about knickers. The nurse said that each surgeon was different and to ask him. Not an easy thing to ask a handsome Thai/Chinese? Surgeon. So as he left I said "Oh Underclothes?" and he turned and said "You can leave your knickers on" and rolled up and left laughing. I was very pleased because I had to launch face down onto three stomach pillows when in the theatre. I don't think that was pretty.🤣 Anyway it was all over very quickly. He said he found the spine twisted worse than it looked on the mri and he wasn't surprised at the amount of pain. I hope it all lasts for a few months but can only watch and wait.
