    Morning all. It’s 45c on the veranda. I won’t be going out there. 😳

    Our friends have just left. They praised my cooking 😇 😊 which was nice. You would have been most welcome @Ergates. It was a good evening.

    @D0rdogne_Damsel have to say I agree with the others, best not mix business and social. Ergates' excuse about a Zoom meeting with Charlie sounded good.

    I'm glad your car started @didyw.

  • Good morning all 😊 ☕️ 

    1C bright and dry here in Norfolk with a tough of frost. Hope it wasn’t too chilly when @Hostafan1  got home. I suspect he’s sound asleep right now. 

    @D0rdogne_Damsel … what a tangle … as others have said, a little distance while things settle is much the best way … it would be the same whoever was involved and whatever gender. You have a very busy life … no one will be at all surprised that you can’t be available to anyone as a confidante. 👍 

    Glad the car started @didyw … poor Wonky is having car problems 😞 

    We’ve had a bit of a lie in … son has a later start today and we’ve got nothing vital or this morning (other than topping a chicken and leek pie made previously with some pastry I made yesterday. Then it’s choir this afternoon. 😊

    Good morning all

    I have just eaten my Boxmenschen. Today is St Nicholas and tradition dictates you must eat it one of these: 


    so I obliged. Children will also get their presents today brought by the Kleeschen (St Nick).

    It's a sticky situation Dordogne, they are not friends are they? So I would follow the advice given above.

    How are the @punkdocs?

    Good morning all!

    A bright but cold morning - nice to have sun.

    Keep warm Mr and Mrs @punkdoc - I expect you know how to cope with this silly virus!
     Nice menu @Busy-Lizzie salmon and leeks go together well.

     @coccinella Exactly!  Today is for the Nicholas on this site.  Enjoy your Boxmenschen!!

             Le jour de la Saint Nicholas
             De décembre est le moins froid

     Stay safe.  Stay warm everyone.

    Crumbs! If we split the temperature between us - that would work nicely 😁

    What is the Boxmenschen @coccinella? Sweet or savoury? 

    My only advice @D0rdogne_Damsel is don’t get too involved. 

    Have a good day all.

    Good morning all.
    Home about 1.30 am.
    Case was waiting on the belt when I got thought passport control. Only 2 in front at the passport machine, out of the airport within half an hour of landing.
    It dipped to -1C at one point on the way home, but it was a decent 2 hour drive.
    Now to start the mountain of laundry.

    Welcome home, @Hostafan1. Afternoon nap, or an early night for you, after your late night!
  • Didn’t think you wore much on holiday @Hostafan1 😉 
    Glad you had a good trip home. 

    Poor Wonky and her Lovely Hub seem to have a lurgy too 🤗 ☕️ 
    Hope the @punkdoc s are on the mend 🤞

    Morning all.

    I was going to say what @Dovefromabove said @Hostafan1 when I read your post. I thought you wore swimming trunks most of the time and the hotel supplied the bedding.

    I hope @WonkyWomble and lovely hub and @punkdoc and Moira are better soon. My OH is heaps better now, just a bit of a cough left.

    Frosty here, but there is sunshine.
