Bloody crazy. It’s shut one day and even then you can usually find an ethnic shop or whatever we are allowed to call them now that will be open.

I find most people call them ‘ corner ‘ or ‘ local ‘ . 😀😀

Morning all

First again? This'll have to stop.
Off for a stroll down to the village later.

Arrived into Leeds yesterday evening an hour late. Bags dropped off at hotel and straight to the local tap room a two minute walk away. Sampled a few interesting beers, one of which was a Christmas stout at a heady 17% 😮😎
Off to parkrun shortly,
Have a peaceful day folks 🎅👍❄️

Slept a bit too well last night and was up at 0645.
Nothing, nowt, nada to do today.

Coooeeee. Christmas eve today. Doesn't feel like Christmas though.

Anyhoo. 6 deg for us. We had an awful lot of rain over the last 2 hours. It's stopped for now thank goodness.

Another slobbing day for me. I might tinker in my workroom

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all.
Both MrsP and myself have got sore throats, not sure if it's just a cold or the start of flu or streptococcus A.
Going to stock up with lemons.
We were both awake at 2am feeling very warm.
Enough of my minor problems.
Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning. Grey and breezy here. Shockingly bad sleep last night. I will be zonked by lunchtime so getting chores done while my brain is working.

Ironing done, potatoes prepared and blanched, sticky red cabbage made. Now it's back to Tesco for bread 😱 😭😱 and then pick up #2 son.

That then should be that and I'll grab some 💤💤💤

Well, I can say click’n’collect at Morrisons was uneventful & simple 😎
Bread sauce missing, but we will survive (or go hunting later…who knows what the day will bring).

Left us the afternoon to blast through the last 4 episodes of ‘The Traitors’ - surprisingly entertaining fare, with some good twists: I maintain that watching the first in a new ‘reality show’ series is the only one to see: everything is new 👍

Bit of a tickle in the throat, but looking forward to a relaxing few days ahead: ‘the kids’ are mostly in charge of food, which will be nice: Merry Christmas all 🎄😎🥳

Unbelievable! Queue to get in the car park. Queue for a trolley! A trolley!

TESCO IS OPEN AT 9.00 ON BOXING DAY. WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL PEOPLE THIS.

I have to get up early and go back. There was no bread. None! Fruit? Stripped. I only wanted some grapes.

Weren't you there adding to the queue?

They're open 9 o'clock on Boxing day!

Gorgeous day here. 7 deg and bright sunshine so I am about to put a load of washing outside.
