Its a pensioners club, I'm 71 next week and one of the younger ones, several of our friends that go there are in their mid 90's, and I don't want to risk seeding a dose of the lurgy through people of that age, we're both disappointed, its a good evening out and we usually meet up with my brother in law. I'm now feeling better than I did earlier so I'm hoping its something thats short lived.

Pleased your feeling better👍👍

Barnet,
Good morning all.
I'm a bit late to the party today.
Sainsbury's have delivered the Christmas wine order, some of my favourites were discounted and if you bought 6 or more there was an extra 25% off. I'll get the ale from Morrisons as they have a good offer on bottled ale.
The dog was walked early, and there was the first frost on the ground. Although it's a nice sunny day out there, and at the moment I'm watching the various of birds on the feeders in the garden.
I've also peeled three large jars of onions and salted them ready for the pickling spice and vinegar to be added in a day or so's time.
Soon it will be time for a bimble out on the bike for a while to keep the legs ticking over.
Another busy day in paradise :cuppa:

Good morning from a bright and sunny Lancashire. Cold but would be a great cycling day. Granddaughter is here but gone swimming with Nana so I'm grabbing a late breakfast before I do a few chores - more wood down from the allotment, kindling etc. Just mundane stuff. We are taking the small one to buy a Christmas tree. I can't help but feel a tree is a frivolous waste of money, especially this year. Scrooge has appeared.

How are we doing with heating? We're running ours 3.5 hours a day. Keeping every door to every room closed, running the wood burner from around 8.00am and living in the backroom where the burner is. For evening a heavy fleece does for me and Mrs P has a blanket and hot water bottle - TV is in the front room.

Most of the kit I was wearing yesterday is from Lusso. They have a repair service. Free if bought direct from their website for items less than a year old if repairable. My gilet is a month outside the period so I'll wait to know the cost before deciding what to do. The bibs look 50/50 to me as it's a biggish hole in the knee. I have to give Lusso 11/10 for service, they have been outstanding. Great communication plus I asked if I could pop in with the kit rather than trust it to Royal Mail - Lusso is only 20/25 minutes away. Yes, can you get here before 3.00? If not tomorrow. I like Lusso kit and from today forwards they are going to be my first port of call for everything - if they have what I want they will get my cash.

Auntie now sorted for another week. Gawd, that was hard work.
For my sins I look after her bank account. As its coming to Christmas I have to guess how much she needs as she keeps changing her mind about who is getting presents and how much....its an impossible job:sad:
