Very disappointed, back too bad to even jog, very frustrated.
Have collected turkey and OH has lodged me in a cafe while he & Charlie go & buy me a Christmas present. I do hope the turkey is tasty, it cost 47 euros and is only 3kg.
House as tidy as can be with back handicap, why does everything have to fall on floor just when you can't bend down?????
You all sound like you are ready to enjoy Christmas in your own ways, enjoy, I think I might have a little 'something' in my coffee, purely medicinal of course.
Hope Flynn is OK and vet can help him and also hope you find FIL knashers Chicky. Good wishes to all.

Older fairylet has decorated her cake so I'll try and get a pic and put it on later.
Very chilly here and had lots of hail and sleet.
Thanks for all the kind comments about the poem. It started as a jokey thought and then I just couldn't leave it alone...
I hope if doc looks in, he'll take a look at it and hopefully it might cheer him a little. The famous KEF hotpants were mainly for his amusement
I'll have to go out and get a couple of things before assaulting the chicken with some bacon and seasoning, and making the rest of our Christmas dinner. Hope it's not too horrendous
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Well, that's Christmas dinner finished. We had our son and daughter down for the day as well as the visiting 2 cats and the other miniature poodle, so it was a really lovely family day. The meal went down very well and the gifts were all appreciated.
Our daughter and her poodle are now safely back in Canberra, and our son and 2 cats are staying for a while longer.
Tomorrow is going to be a relaxing day (with A 29 degree prophesy), so nothing more to do but sit and chat,
I'm in bed and preparing for a longggggg sleep. Merry Christmas to all of you who are preparing for their day tomorrow.
Thanks, Dove. I was planning to stop reading back, but couldn't resist a last look. I did solve the puzzle (with son and daughter competing to see who was quickest), but can't yet find a poem. Maybe on another thread. I'll have to look in the morning when my brain is working.
Pat I'm glad you had a lovely day with your family Merry Christmas.
DD what a shame about your back. Take it as easy as you can and have a good, indulgent Christmas. I expect Charlie is getting quite excited.
Thanks for the nice comments about the cake. It's a bit of a cheat as I cook it in a 2lb loaf tin and cut into three layers and fill with buttercream before shaping. Tastes OK though. Look forward to seeing fairylet's cake later. I'm sure your chicken will be done to perfection.
Hope everyone gets everything done that needs to be done quickly and easily and can then relax.

Wonky I believe that brandy is an essential remedy for snottiness
. Have a great time.
The poem was fantastic wasn't it
. Good ode Fairy (sp
)
Happy Christmas fidget
Would anyone like a piece of chocolate log for elevenses? Help yourselves
You have truly got me in the festive spirit with the yule log Lesley!
I have taken your advice and sneaked a honey brandy in my second coffee!
still have the SM shop last buts to do, so that should be fun! 
Ooh Lesley,
That looks lovely, might just have to make one.
Just read the poem, fabulous Fairy, very clever and what a lovely thing to do.
Following your example with the coffee WW, hope you get round the SM ok,
Gorgeous cake Lesley

Merry Christmas Pat - glad you had a lovely day
