Hug for you being left alone, safest though and Easter may be more promising with Oxford Vac rolling out.Morning all.
Good to hear so many doing well, especially at this, our most unusual of xmas.
We normally head to Laurens fathers, 77 this year, for xmas dinner
and after much debate with him, and considering the up's & downs
they'll be going for a socially distanced lunch with him.
the girls had decided to self isolate a bit more, until then so they reduce the risks.
To help make it as safe as possible, we've decided, I won't be going.
which given the hassles of me making the stairs here and there
seems like a sensible solution.
He's upset but understands, and he's arranging a more lavish Sunday dinner around Easter for us all.
so billy no mates this chrimbo, but a small price to pay to keep him safe.
and on the bright side i've got some Kick *** pain killers that give me that light headed feeling,
so who needs wine......' hic'
Hugs for the leaks @SlimLizzy
and a nice pic of your doorway @Muddy Cyclist
can never remember what they call the end of the bell,
now i just remind myself it's a johnson....(or was it a hancock..)
and lastly... if the powers that be, are looking for people to add to the honours list,
if they ever run out of sycophants and cash donors, that is.
Might i suggest they look at the staff, here, and i suspect many more places,
who showed us just what compassion looks like in this Year. A Year unlike any other..
God bless them one & all
(and check out louise minchens reaction.. Love her)

and i might be going a little early, but in case my meds zonk me out and i miss it
a Merry Christmas to you all....
A big thank you for the support, given so freely when i needed it...
and i hope in some small way, i have managed to repay some of that debt, by my own contributions in return.
I bet he was always well connected!Or Harald "Bluetooth" Gormsson.
No, I think you flounder!Deal looks bleak to some but I've haddock nuff of all that. As for A B De P J, eel do a conger. It has bream difficult, old Mackerel digging his heels in and things looked tench at times - a few stickleback points. I hear mullets will be back in fashion in 2021. I am in the right plaice aren't I?
Merry Christmas one and all.No idea who will be here tomorrow or to some extent why there would be any wish or need to do so at Christmas. So, Merry Christmas one and all however scaled down, different or challenging 2020 has made things. We finally - 10+ months in - worked out where to put a table and chairs for now so Christmas dinner can be eaten in comfort. One of the benefits of waking at 4.30 or earlier most morning is (sometimes) time to think.
Thank you.good evening all
4.8 this morning
very cold here today with a wicked wind and further North across the firth the snow that fell during the night was visible right down to sea level this morning.
Sun came out for the minister's funeral but even sitting in the car it was very cold and the service was over an hour long, I don't know how some of the people who stood on the grass bank opposite the church managed, some of them are older than mr gee and I. We processed to the cemetery (traditional here) but then came home, took us a good couple of hours to get warm again.
Rum and hot coffee was involved
Glad to be mostly home for the next wee while. We shall take christmas dinner to mum's and spend a couple of hours with her tomorrow but otherwise it will be quiet (I hope)
I have already prepared the veg, it always takes longer to peel sprouts than you expect
Hope your day is treating you kindly and your Christmas is everything joyous and peaceful that it can be
@jjraak - hugs for your missing the lunch, your social conscience is well developed (as well as socially distanced )
@JFWinstone - winner for the bg and sleep, hug for the headache
@SlimLizzy - Yuck! soggy pillows, glad to hear you managed to get them dry and I hope you manage to get the leak under control quickly
@dunelm - hugs for the cut thumb hope it's not too painful that's a nice sketch of holly, very free
@Muddy Cyclist - a hug for the visit stress, someimes it seems like every day brings a new dilemma That's a very effective sketch painting, so nicely balanced
@gennepher - a lovely festive painting today and I really like the colours you used

Guess what!
My black wheelie bin got emptied this morning.
Bin men came in the cul-de-sac just for me. Actually I was a bit worried that since I was the only person who put their black rubbish wheelie out, that the bin men might not back down the road.
But they did!
A nice cold Christmas walk with family and then sat with coffee, thank goodness for camper van, to watch the sun set off the heights of Gentleshore common. Never walked there before, good views over to Shropshire but bitter North Easterly.. now back home with Log Stove lit and a glass of wine, should I resist the mince pie?
So Christmas on our own, very strange.

View attachment 46443 We went to the top of the hill behind the house when the sun went down over the Irish Sea in a glowing orange sky. In a southerly direction all the fells were covered in a visible snow carpet above about 1500' and the temperature quickly dropped below freezing.
We couldn't see the convergence since the moon and sky in the west were extremely bright, but the shear beauty of it all filled one with awe this Christmas Eve.
