Thank you for sharing the good wishes, kaleidoscope and white rabbits. White rabbits on the first day of the month is well outside my experience pre this forum as is Chrimbo for Christmas. They are among words/phrases I need to deal with mentally much better than hubby or that hit the spot. Staycation however remains a huge trigger.

Right...new year.

New me.

Back into testing
8.7...ouchie...in the deep end ...gulp.

Scales also complaining.
226 lbs...
(Nope , so not doing the conversion when the result is just meaningless to me )

So that's it....
Embassment over now the big reveal is done.

Head up, braced for action & looking forward to where this ships heading, because there's no heading back the way we came for any of us in this life.

Hoping for a steady breeze & good progress before we head back into port in February to reassess this ships worthiness for longer voyages.

So consider me back to pin cushion duties as of today .

Move along, nothing to see here, ladies & gents.

Marvelous rabbits.

Such imagination & skill to do what to the casual observer looks so minimal , yet with the deftest of touches here & there, offers so much to the viewer .

Well done indeed

Always impressed that at the drop of a hat, you always seem to have to hand the perfect emoji or picture.

An excellent example above.

I hope that means you've gathered every last piece of your shredded nerves from 'Those builders'.

And have now uncreased & smoothed them out to your satisfaction.

I know I shouldn't, but I do feel a tad sorry for whoever has to face our Genn, fully girded up & enraged...no matter how politely you word it....
 
Quick heads up so you can all buy wisely in the January sales. As a chum I would not have you ignorant of the coming trends. The embarrassment you would feel when furiously networking would be excruciating. Black is really, really good - except for teeth, walls and crockery which should obviously always be pure white .


Don't say I didn't tell you.
 
You should see me when I get wound up.

It's all open to interpretation.
The universe over all has entropy , but some areas get organised more but others are worse.
Overall it is slightly more worse than better.
Now that's a thought for NYD.

Be giving that advice a big miss, @ianpspurs

Still getting over the candles we unsuspectingly bought ...
Not Gwynnie the Gloop's alter candles? You didn't put them in the wrong back passage did you - surely not? surprised you can still walk I dislike the smell of the real ones so we bought LED ones. Came with with a remote, 6 hour cycle, flicker and the flame droops as it were, no smell - game changer. They also do tea lights so perhaps a compromise with the Lady of the House.

I think that you exhibited amazing self control @gennepher. Much more than Dame Judi Dench who told a paramedic to **** off when he asked if she had a carer with her.
 
Had them for yonks, button batteries and all, but still have the burners so that accidents are covered up, and the rest of the stench that is vegetables cooking!
 
So, just don’t wash your clothes. To paraphrase Quinten Crisp - after a while it will all look the same.
