Methinks he may be at the beans, again.

Friend of mine with a Berlingo got locked out in a ferry queue with keys inside the car. Fortunately another pal who is also a cyclist and car mechanic to trade was behind him and managed to open the bonnet, disconnected the battery and managed somehow to open the car doors.
Mine is a Peugeot which is similar with a better spec. than the Berlingo but I now never leave the car with keys inside.

A Tepee? Mine's one of those but with a lower spec. than a Berlingo (Tepee Urban) to keep insurance costs down for my 17yo.

A couple of late presents bought, and son no. 2's last bits for his new Ridley have arrived so the LBS can fit those next week once they re-open. Then he can actually use the thing, having been originally due in March. We ordered, and paid, for it back in July 2020

I've also finished my external marking, having got a shove on this week. Normally I'm being chased because I'm late, and last, to finish. This time I'm 10 days ahead

On a more concerning note SWMBO spent Monday evening with someone who's now tested positive for Covid, in their house. She's doing lateral flow tests daily so we don't increase the risk to my parents tomorrow. Son no.'s 1 & 2 plus myself will also do tests. My parents don't see the point of testing themselves, but they're the ones most at risk.

We have broadband. It has been activated, router/modem is set up, everything is connected.

I have some very happy children.

Normally we'd say stay positive but this year it's stay negative.

Have you said goodbye to them yet? Or have they just gone?

Definitely not. We don't have hills here

Erm, what about Shippea? I seem to remember that the road rises at least 2 feet to cross the rail line.

Well, that's Wigilia done and dusted. Herrings in a dill & cream sauce, smoked mackerel pate and lots of bread & butter. Couldn't be bothered with the salad. Then had a and some Piernik (Lebkuchen) and a couple of clementines. Now just chilling with the girls.

Steady on, you'll get vertigo!

 

[Jenkins]

Is there an art to wrapping presents ?

If there is I don't seem to have got the hang of it !

My sister's method is wraping paper, sellotape & a bottle of wine. You can always tell how far into the bottle the present was wrapped.

And Monday is Boxing Day.

As far as work goes, Monday is Christmas Day and Tuesday is Boxing day (for the purpose of allocating public holiday shifts)
