omg how bad is the wind today brrrrr..... Thought my turkey was going to fly away after we picked it up!!!! Soaked cold and feeling grotty..... Festive cranberry lemsip in hand.... Ahhhh well at least my seeds will be watered!!!
Hello all. Hope you're all ok. Stay safe and tucked up in the warm. We've not got any stormy weather here...yet...just the same rain and sleet we've had for days but there's snow forecast for tomorrow...
Did my last bits of shopping first thing but went to the usual centre later to go to the bank- no chance! The world and his wife had descended on the place so I just went home. The supermarket's been open all hours and is open on Boxing Day so it makes you wonder just how much people buy and how much waste there will be. Madness.
Anyway, I've put washing on, had some lunch and now watching White Christmas as I've never seen it all the way through. Can't beat a bit of classic Hollywood hokum on a dreary wet day
Still got girls' presents to wrap and will repair one of their stockings as a little mouse made a home in it one year when we lived more rurally and it's looking a bit sad!
Hope hubby's ok nut
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Verdun, Nut seems to have got her OH quite well trained - he keeps himself amused in the shed doing useful things most of the time, pops out occasionally to stir soup or to talk Men's Shed Talk to my OH when Nut and I are talking plants. He probably doesn't deserve to be trapped in the shed at lunchtime
Glad you and Spike are keeping your heads down - tell Spike not to go sea swimming today!!!

Just had a call on the intercom from OH in the workshop. Could I come and let him out please. A sign had fallen off the wall and jammed between the door and the car.

Oh no! I had something similar happen to me at the museum I volunteer at - something slide behind the door and wedged it fast with me trapped in a smalled enclosed area with no mobile phone (I'd carefully taken it out of my pocket so I didn't break it). I had to scale the wall (no mean feat for I am pathetically weak) and await a passing member of public to ask them to get a member of staff to come and let me out.
We're back from a long weekend in Germany and looks like we got back just in time with the weather closing all the ports! Would not have liked to have spent Christmas Day sat in a port car park in Holland
Last Tuesday, OH was on his way back from Toulouse, and queuing for the gate at Paris CDG airport. 3 fairly drunk glaswegians were queuing, even though this was the Birmingham flight. A security man built like a brick outhouse approached and asked for their boarding passes. They were somehow at the wrong gate. The glasgow flight was on final call, and some gates away. the three set off at a run. One of them had on what I call nappy pants, the trousers with the crotch around the knees. As he started to run, with his duty free carrier bag clanking in one hand, a flight bag in the other, his trousers and underpants decided to start sliding down. OH would have filmed it, but he had already switched his mobile off for the flight. The trousers landed around his ankles, but he carried on trying to run. he then went flying, the carrier bag went smash, and he ended up flat on his face. The other two had gone. Oblivious to the fact his bottles were broken, and he was exposing his hairy backside(not to mention the front) to an amused line of passengers, he then tried waddling, still with his pants around his ankles, to the other gate. Whether he caught the flight or not, I do not know......

He is pretty well behaved Dove, you're right.
I'd put the dog out for a wee but stay inside yourself Verdun

Just to give you a laugh.
