    Morning SGL - glad to hear you're making a slow recovery. This lurgy does wipe you out for a bit but you'll get there. Can you rally the troops to help with your Christmas preps?

    Meantime can you tell me where on earth I've put the dining room table protector? Haven't used it for (probably) 3 years but it's around somewhere. Have looked in all the obvious (and some less obvious!) places.

    Know the best way to find it is to fork out £15 for a new one. I'll find it in the middle of cutting the new one is cut to size🤨

    Good to see you SGL and glad that you are feeling improved. Were you pleased with the Strictly result?
    T'Bird - can't help with the table protector but you're right, get a new one and it will be right there in front of your nose. I've just had brunch and now I'm off to get the village sorted.

    Lovely pics LB and Ante.  Safe journey LB enjoy your visit to rellies.  Topbird hope all goes well making the curtains and finding room.  Sunshine here this morning.  Hanging laundry am.  Saw the strictly final and was very pleased with the result.  They worked very hard doing three dances each.  I think it was the best final, well deserved.  There will be a Christmas special.   
  • Thank you, Rubee, Tbird and LB.  
    Yes very pleased with result, was my fave to win. But good final show. And I'm sure there will be a few new careers in the West End from this. 
    Sorry can't help with table protector Tbird, no idea where you've put it.....except you could borrow mine....i'll send it with Al through the tunnel 😉

    Afternoon all.
    Forecast was wrong and it's a lovely day but very cold.
    Uncle and I must have spent two hours talking through family history which was very interesting as his memory is very good.

    SGL, take things very slowly until you feel better.
    T'bird, I have a spare table protector......somewhere!

    I've popped out to sm and there was some frost on the grass.  Lily hoping you'll get your energy back soon.  I'm still taking my Metatone I'll have to wait until I've finished the bottle but it does help.

    They are buried under the snow somewhere mayhap?
    How come the landlord/lady didn't oust the cuckoos from their cosy BYO corner?

    I'd love to come to some of those traditional carol sing-ins Pansy. Maybe next year I'll see if I can persuade OH to have a few days away in Derbyshire in Dec. Shame about the youngsters though. I do cringe a bit at pub drink prices but I also love a traditional pub. Usually square that particular circle by buying more food and less alcohol.

    Have just had a mug of tea to celebrate finding the table protector. Hooray! It was rolled up in the large cardboard tube my roll-up-a-jigsaw-puzzle-thingy came in. Put it in there so it wasn't creased by folding.

    Obvious really....🤭

    Glad your table protector turned up T'Bird. One of my brothers and our sister-in-law sing in a choir and they were carolling by the tree on the square near where they live and from there they went into the library yesterday. Its not quite the same as singing old carols in a pub but they were very gratified when the folk in the library all joined in. I'll bet that was the only time they could be noisy. If I lived nearer I would join in but that journey once a week is enough for me.

    Hmm you might not say that if you’d heard my singing Pansy😂 Growling along half a key out from everyone else. OH, on the other hand, has a very good bass voice. Used to do amateur operatics until work rosters got in the way. We’ll see if I can persuade him. He does Christmas very much under sufferance with lots of deep sighs. However, pubs, beer and singing he does with much more enthusiasm!

    It’s really not like me to mislay stuff and, actually, the place where I’d stored the protector was a very logical use of an empty cardboard tube I needed to keep. A win win result. If I was posh and used a tablecloth more often than once every 3 years I’d have known exactly where it was!
