I'm sure there's another thread I should post this on but I'm in a little cafe by the cash and carry and just ordered a cheesy croissant. It's lovely, but why oh why won't they give you a knife and fork and a decent napkin? 🙄🫣😡 Hot melted cheese everywhere and very sticky fingers. 😡

Good morning from a rather dull Yorkshire. There’s a hint of the sun trying to break through but it’s not being very successful. Welcome to another new month, December already. Happy birthday @Hostafan1.
I've had my 'flu jab. Only 1 person before me in the queue at the pharmacy.
Bought 50 stamps for the UK at the Post Office but forgot to buy the French ones!
Eyes are stinging a bit, slept badly, awake in the small hours thinking about Schindler's List and Ukrainians with no heating.
Bought a bird table and a packet of meal worms while I was in town, for my robin who can't perch on the fat balls. Need some sunflower seeds but they'd run out.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Morning all, thick fog here, not very nice at all. Had my usual walk, then managed to catch the chappie across the road who services our boiler, it looks like a valve is stuck in the red zone which isn't right, so he's going to pop across later to have a look at it. Hope the boiler doesn't pack up before the new one is installed in January!
It's weird you have to have the heating in on in summer @Pat E.
Weve got to count our store of stamps @Busy-Lizzie, in case we need to buy some more. We did have lots left over from last Xmas which lasted quite some time. It appears that the Royal Mail swap system is somewhat chaotic as people are reporting that they are getting more back in new stamps than they sent in.
Right, better go and check if the washing's done and put another load in.
Afternoon all. Thank you for starting December off @Dovefromabove.
Are stamps cheaper in France @Busy-Lizzie? 50 UK stamps is a small fortune these days.
Feeling very slightly better but the pain on coughing is zero fun and I wont be well enough for the Xmas party on weekend. One of my work mates will also be having her own lemsip party, as she just messaged me to say she has c’vid.
I was waiting for the new month before jumping in - hope that's ok!
Torrential downpours on this side of the Atlantic yesterday and a freeze-up overnight. The winds have been wicked and we've had a few snow flurries today. The Arbor Day Foundation just shipped my bare root trees and I'm worried it's going to be too cold to heel them in, but all research says this is the best time of the year. If things keep going the way they are, we're going to have a rainy winter rather than snowy. And me with five sets of snowshoes just sitting there getting dusty! I suppose it gives me more time to plan for spring projects, so I can't complain.

Hello and welcome aboard @CrankyYankee ☕️ … I once had a dear friend who came from New England … she and her family lived in the UK for a while … but she married a Texan USAF helicopter pilot and travelled the world and eventually our lives changed and we lost touch …

Hi everyone. Overcast and a bit cold here this morning. We’ve run out of bread and a few other things so it looks like a quick trip to town for us. Luckily Hubby is happy to do the driving since I wouldn’t trust myself to do it with my fuzzy head. 🙄
Nice to see a new person on the site. Hi Cranky Yankee.

I've finished making the orchard fence bed and planted more tulips in it. Couldn't do it before as it kept raining.
