23:30 / 23:45 is my normal bedtime..
Up between 07:10 / 07:30 whether it's a workday or not.

good morning. for me it's 5am on weekdays & weekends 6:30. I'd sleep later but the cats would gouge my eyes out

I'd lost my mince pie ! I had taken a bite out of it when the phone rang. I put it down to answer the phone but couldn't remember where I put it . I eventually found it and it has gorn now !

thinking about going out and doing something energetic in a warehouse, just to keep warm.

be careful. the U.S. big box home improvement store, where I have my 2nd job , had 2 fatalities last month. both employees. not at our store, in other stores of the chain

Oh! I think I heard on the nose yesterday that they have caught someone who burgled Mark Cavendish .

That's the Xmas hols started for me but I do have a bit of work to do before New Year. We're an English teacher short so this post has been split between one of my colleagues and myself. Not complaining as I get a good enough salary for it and it keeps me out of trouble.

It was the school's Xmas party today so there's nothing on earth that can match a class of 6 year olds off their face on sugar.

My niece is popping round to collect presents from us and nana for her two girls. Not seen them in 2 years. The girls are coming to see our cats.

Weather forecast is way out. Supposed to be dry today but when I went to the pharmacy had to use the car windscreen wipers so definitely not taking the trike out in that.
Asked out of curiosity about lateral flow test kits. They still have none and cannot seem to get any. I got one on line anyway but the pharmacies generally seem to be having a problem getting any.

No hot water! CH OK but I am now frantically searching round for a local gas engineer to come and look at the combi boiler before Christmas, when we have the family descending for a few days.
I have a British Gas service contract, but even with that the first appointment is Dec 29th

Always good to see mother and daughter in matching outfits at my local shop...

Shame it had to be dressing gowns, Jim-jams & slippers

The youngest was fine - she's not great at mixing yet and usually starts crying, but she enjoyed seeing the cats and playing with a toy kitchen we keep in the cupboard. We've aready got my neices mum coming on Boxing Day, so just invited my neice, partner and the kids as well. She's hopefully going to come - we've got loads of food in and is no trouble to me doing the cooking.

Chilly and grey here chez Casa Reynard.

I slept in and feel better. Anyways, I managed to get my mitts on some LFT kits this morning in a small pharmacy in one of the nearby villages. They had a whole case and were giving them out two boxes at a time. So that's me sorted for a while.

Managed to catch the postie this morning, and she now has her box of biskits.

It is time for luncheon.

Booster jab received

I was taken to the front of the queue because I was on crutches. I would have been happy to have stood in line but the nurse insisted. Made me feel like an invalid

My sister messaged the family WhatsApp apologising that most people's presents will include dog fluff stuck to the celotape

I responded last night that if the wrapping doesn't look too good and is somewhat 'patched up' one of our cat's loves slashing open wrappers. We've one present slashed, and a 'box' from another missing a big chunk.
