    Thats good Dove, I thought it would be the pump, (not the bra wire though eh!!)

    Evening everyone.  Shopping's done - queues in the village outside every shop, but all good humoured and distanced.  Forgot to buy eggs, bother.  Might need to go back tomorrow...

    Presents are wrapped, washing is done (hooray for the repair man, @Dovefromabove!), house is tidy (ish), so now I need to see if there's anything good on the telly.   :)  But if not, I'll carry on reading Pride & Prejudice for the umpteenth time.  It's a feel-good book which still makes me smile.

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Crikey, Norfolk in Tier 4! I thought it was one of the safest areas. Another reason why I'm rejoicing that OH made it back to France just in time. Having recently had a lockdown we are allowed a limited Christmas here, 6 adults at table.

    Son 2's removal men came and took his stuff this morning. They said they would come at 8.30am, I was just about to step into the shower just after 8am when they arrived. They have left muddy footprints on the carpets. I told them to wipe their feet. SAme company I'm having for my move. Oh dear.

    We went to the SM after they'd gone, eggs, milk, coffee, veg, usual sort of stuff.

    Crikes! I've lost a day somewhere! Didn't realize it is actually going to be Xmas Eve tomorrow! I haven't put the decorations up yet, made mincepies or cleaned the house.
    Better get up early tomorrow then. Where did go, my lost day, obviously can't count.

    @Dovefromabove    People are moving around Uk and Europe from infected areas and there is no quarantine!  Astounding.  Ignorant!  The Northern Hemisphere has such a different attitude than that of the Southern Hemisphere.
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    They know they’re not supposed to @tuikowhai34  ... just the same as Dominic Cummings wasn’t supposed to drive his wife and child up to Yorkshire with Covid during the first lockdown ... but it’s one rule for them and another for the rest of us ... they’re ‘the entitled ones’ 😡. 

    I suspect the East Anglian Tory MPs may soon start to be a little concerned about their long term job prospects 😖
