Keep an eye open for the four horsemen!

Did it get rid of the evil spirits?

Hope so. Is that the origin?

Supposedly.

I've heard of similar ones in Ireland, alas no more. Good to see it still celebrated though.

Still struggling to get out of bed.

Called it a night at 7.15am.

Had a great time too.

Probably too old for all this malarkey but what the heck - we just aren't ready to be old Oldies.🤭

No idea what we are up to with what's left of today.

I have a big urge to eat a tin of Ambrosia custard - probably because one is lurking in a kitchen cupboard. 🤪

I have pottered. Vacuumed, put dishes away, made the bed and that's it from me for the day.

Pork sandwiches today, then more slobbing

Cheese and tomato for us I think.

We have son and grandson here, grandson is crawling well and I've just seem stand up holding on to our settee, the first time I've seen him on his feet under his own steam.

You'll be sorry.....mark my words😄

They battered them 1 nil 😄😄

When I went to the Spar they had an offer on Malbec Rosè which is a pleasant easy drinking wine.
I am just slurping some with my cheese and tomato butty.

Dull as ditchwater. Two positives. Jake Garrett was superb and three points. That's it.

Afraid your boy Tylor Morton went off injured. Looked like it could be several weeks. ☹️

A few weeks ago while visiting the sons et al in Denver I bought a P-line Brompton because......I wanted it. Due to weather concerns I have ridden it very little but yesterday the wind was "breezy" and I got 12 miles in and that was nice. Early this morning the snow for a blizzard began and will require 3-4 shovelling sessions if I want to keep on top of it. If I clean it up evey 6 inches or so that will do it, I reckon.
As far as books go I have always enjoyed Michael Connelly, Tony Hillerman, Robert Crais and Thomas Perry to name some American authors. I think his titles revolving around the word "Prey" are kinda sappy, but John Sandford is also pretty good.
Gotta a lot of grub, stuff to watch on TV, and some new books to read. Life is good, knock on wood.
Be safe and well and happy new year to all of us as well.
