Wife had picked up granddaughter's bike from Halford's and I really ought to have checked it over. So I went to put it in the car boot and realised the tyres were flat, so flat that putting the track pump on just pushed the valve into the wheel! Then wife noticed the reflectors were rather loose. The brakes were a bit suspect too. Still she did enjoy her first bike ride.

So that's wot you look like,

Cheers, I may start drinking soon.

Only when I'm in a recliner......

Oi, are you suggesting my appearance has driven you to drink.

Don't worry they're only feelings....

I think I am dying from over-consumption, boredom and laziness!

That is not a bad way to go.

It's been a quiet Christmas here, the calm before the storm. My girls and my sister, her husband and three girls all descend on us tomorrow.

We had turkey with roast potatoes and veg, brussels for the 'rents (peas for me, because brussels are an abomination unto Nuggan), and stuffing balls made with sausage meat. All excellently prepared by me Dad. And a chocolatey cheesecake thing for pud (me Mum's creations have to wait till tomorrow).

Other than that, it's been relaxing and quiet. I've spent most of the afternoon reading catching up on this thread. Drama Queen has apparently got a PS4, and Mad Scientist messaged me yesterday to tell me she's found her long-lost Kobo.

Oh, and I've been mocked mercilessly for finishing a selection box in 10 minutes. They don't make 'em like they used to...

Merry Christmas everyone. He's been. We've had a lovely roast turkey dinner and a couple of glasses of wine, a nap and a quiz game. Just been catching up on what you have all been doing.

He will have his re-wenge. (Note to Henry- I will help )

I'm slowly turning him by way of tickling him under the chin. He has licked my fingers clean after dinner. I think I have his blessing.

That is not a bad way to go.

Considering how much I've eaten, I feel sorry for the people who will carry my coffin!

I have just broken wind.

People are shouting at me.

We included the cats in what h

as going on. I even got a chance to play with my Bayko for a while.

 

[Speicher]

I can remember that my brother had Bayko when I was a small owlet. When he moved onto Meccano, I think I was allowed to play with the Bayko.

Sadly we were living in India at the time. When we returned to England, by boat, all our toys would have been given to children out there, rather than bringing them home, except for the two dollies that I had.

I did not have a teddy bear, as the heat of India would not have suited furry toys.
