Been to Lidl to buy a pair of their ski gloves and some hand and foot warmers.

Just pottering about today. I have a 'early' christmas party shortly as MIL isn't dying (don't ask - just because she felt a little rough one day last week she insisted she wouldn't make it to Christmas - been like that last 10 years). I am not putting on a Christmas jumper as the Nursing Home is scorching, so I'll go in a t-shirt. We've got one of the lounges for the family, and we are taking some food. I'm calling it a family get together - MIL is in rude health !!

I survived the service this morning. It was a bit of an eye-opener. I’m glad I don’t have to do it again for a year.

My daughter enjoyed herself which is the main thing (and she did check every few minutes to see if I was still there and watching her).

I have cleaned and refilled the bird feeders.

Women can sense when such preparations are afoot.

I only have to think about getting up!

You have a Christmas Market? In November?

Foreigners always get it wrong.

You mean like the arrival of Santa?

If it's any consolation, my dad was a minister and he loathed Remembrance Sunday services too.

That I can understand.Our service today started @10:30 so the timing was tricky I imagine. Then the preacher has to think of something new to say. Having a 'parade' must make it worse.

We tried to go to the Remembrance Service but couldn't find a place to park. It was too busy. We came home and watched it on the TV.
We will try to get down early tomorrow to watch that one ?
I went out and got my bike dirty later. I did 9 miles.
A radial engined Yak flew over our house the afternoon and did some aerobatics. The plane was silver and painted blue underneath with a red star on one wing . After doing 2 circuits it headed off towards Corsham .

Survived the Christmas Party. Took booze, and 'hot food' that the other's didn't think about, so that was all snaffled up very quickly.

Christmas lights and all sorts.... way too early, but MIL wanted it. All cleared up and back to a normal lounge in the Nursing Home.

PS got my son to drive.. yay, I like having a built in taxi driver.. I did wash and hoover his car this morning though. I find washing cars quite relaxing TBH, so don't mind (and washing bikes).

Quiet day today. Slept in, then squared away my judges reports and fired them off to Marcia in the GCCF office, laundered my white coat, sorted out some emails and, after lunch, sat watching the cycling.

Tried to do some work on my F3 painting, but I'm too tired, and as it's watercolour, I can't afford to make a mistake.

Going to have the last of the fish pie and the chocolate pudding for supper tonight.

Syrup sponge and custard for pud this evening 😋

That's the joy of acrylic paint: some of my pictures have more layers than an archaeological dig.

Reading and looking at somebody's posts I'm very tempted to buy watercolours. Though I preferred graphic arts. But haven't done anything for many years.
