Hello,all--if anyone is still up. I have just returned from taking my friend Zona to the doctor's in Victoria--a 12-hour day , with ferries and freeways--we lucked out, as the cold rain held off until late in the afternoon. We had fun-thrift stores and shopping--but I am now knackered, being up since 4 am. I went to the garden center and bought a wee skimmia, plus some stuff to fumigate the greenhouse. Even managed the last of my Christmas shopping! And so to bed.
Morning Pam. Geoff and Dean, No frost here but blowing a gale. Have nominated hubbie to climb up the ladder to replace the fat balls . No way I'm going up there.
Pam, they look great .
Dean, you be careful as well.
I'm going to decorate the tree today and having a day in, except for a quick visit to Cosco later. No decs up at all yet. Late this year because of daughter's house move and all the too ing and fro ing but going to have a good bash today. Hmm - choc of the day. A father Christmas. ?
Jean- Daughter is supposed to be starting our tree later today or the w/end.
Geoff- moon choc.
Dull & no frost at all today. Cant see many flowers still out now, am going to do a count, as someone suggested on another thread, on 1st Jan. Should have a note from past yrs somewhere.
Oh good, daughter arrived plus her breakfast, good sign. J.
Decided to go to Sainsburys a bit earlier than normal, so left feeding the birds and other jobs until I got back. It was still pretty busy there, despite the early hour. Next week will be chaos.
Wet, wet, wet today and no more frost all next week. Am wondering whether we'll get a white Christmas. We haven't seen any snow here at all so far. Am anxiously waiting for an opportunity to use my leaf blower for fun snow clearance.
Got a busy day today, seems to be the norm at the moment.
Got to fill car with fuel, call at Mums' residential home to drop of some things, pick daughter up for shopping trip to Gainsborough. We go there to a nice little shopping complex, and a M & S Food shop. I want to get all my Christmas goodies from there, and then on to a very good fish and chip restaurant for lunch. I think that is the only reason our daughter will be joining us, the thought of a free lunch
Inka. - sounds as though you had a pretty full day. Hope you friend is feeling better.
Pam.- love your toys, it makes such a difference when you have grandchildren calling. We have lots of soft Christmas toys, but don't get them out now as we have no small children in the family.
Morning Pam, Geoff, Dean, Jean, Jo and any lurkers. Hello Inka, even though you're not here just now.
Very wet and blowy here. Was going to go early to shopping centre to return top I bought in a hurry and doesn't suit me but heard dire weather warnings on radio so had a lie in! May try and find spare Christmas cards later and see how many I need to buy.
Ok, Geoff, I've got the name pondering the choccy.

I know more about airing cupboards and wet stuff than I ever knew before tonight,
Better go to bed

Thankyou for telling me about the festival Lottie 
Some of my Christmas toys

Have a lovely day everyone
A different morning as predicted -no frost-wet and breezy-mumbles about floods now.
All very festive Pam
Today's mystery advent choc-is something that we couldn't see last week-but if we choose- we can see this week-needs thinking about
For all venturing out early on the roads, be careful! We have had loads n loads of reports regarding accidents!
Very, very icey conditions!
Have a good all!
