Good morning All x
Sounds very quiet and still outside but I've no idea what it's doing weatherwise as I haven't yet put my nose out.

Just running the hoover over the place today with the possibility of going to see daughter's new Victorian fireplace which she's having done today. She certainly puts in the hours at work to make these things possible and I'm so pleased for her.

Some wrapping must be done too !

Morning all. Still dark in Northampton, but dry.

Yes, I also am Blue45Sapphire, but hopefully from now on will be my original BlueSapphire! Mix-up occurred because apparently I had logged in on my Kindle fire with a different email address and had to have a different password. Will delete that account.

New Kindle fire arriving today but will not have time to set it up till the weekend.

Excellent new film from Robert Redford yesterday, 'The Old Man and the Gun'. I heartily recommend it, very gentle and a lovely story. I sat and enjoyed it with a glass of Malbec and some salted vanilla caramel popcorn. Felt a bit sad though as it was the sort of film that late DH would have loved, as I could just see him sitting next to me with a smile on his face.

Off to panto this afternoon to see elder DGD, who is dancing this year.

Willow, one of my yoga friends bought me a box of Whittakers coffee creams this week! She had heard me say that they were my favourites. I think she got them from a pound shop.

Hope it's a good day for all.

Good Morning all and to those who follow. Dark and damp here at the moment in Fife. Have quite busy ay, blood pressure check first thing then some shopping and off to see Santa at a certain garden outlet with 2 x DGS's. so looking forward to it. Everyone seems to be very busy today the rush I fear has started! enjoy your day.

Good Morning from a drizzly Black Country.

Appointment this morning for my yearly Asthma check. Then pop to town for bits and pieces.

This afternoon, I am driving over to my DS and family to take their presents and we won't be seeing them over Christmas. He will be 43 on the 29th, so taking his Birthday present as well.

Enjoy your U3A party Beechnut I been a member for 20 months and just starting to feel like I 'fit in' now.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning all. Still dark but I think it's dry in East Northants. Today I'm tracking down my favourite Whitakkers coffee cream dark chocolates and it appears they may be available in Iceland (the shop, not the country) so fingers crossed. I hope it's a good day for everyone!

Morning All

Dark and cold here in Norfolk, but the stars are shining which is nice. Had a lovely day yesterday with DGS looking at the seals and their pups on the beach. DGDog came too and was most perplexed - dogs with no legs smelling of fish?!

Nothing planned for today although I do have to find an excuse to go shopping. I’ve just thought of something to buy DH for Christmas!

Good morning all, dark and damp in Lancashire, I'm meeting a friend later.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Good morning.

It's still dark in North Leicestershire but I think it is dry.

We have lots of bitting and bobbing to do today and some tv catching up! Oh, and a mountain of ironing. sad

Good morning all and I hope it’s a good day for everyone.
Dark, wet but not raining and cloudy here. Nothing much on this morning so I’ll do some pottering around the house then I’m going to u3a Christmas party this afternoon. My first one, I was a new girl last year and too shy to go ?.

Morning Mick and others to come.
I'm up early because I booked a taxi to take our visitor to the airport at 5 am but it didn't come so poor DH has had to do the honours and the house is wide awake.
Funeral later today. It's warmer than lately here in the Scottish Borders.
