"The Power of the Dog" starring Benedict Cumberbatch is a truly excellent film on Netflix.
I read a recent post where he was referred to as “ Eggs Benedict Cucumber Patch “ 😁

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I may or may not drop in sometime today. If I am not around, I'd like to wish all you reprebate old farts a very happy Christmas. It gives me great pleasure to bring you lot down a peg or two each day.

I'm off to wash my Christmas bloomers. I have to get them Ready for tomorrow. Father Christmas had a big hole in his bag one year and dropped in to ask me to lend them to him for a few hours which of course I did. It saved him losing some of his presents, so I always get them ready just in case he needs to use them.

Stay safe and have a great day.:smooch:

I think I plugged it myself here a few weeks ago after watching it with (bubble) pal. We enjoyed it too but she missed a couple of subtleties which I pointed out after the film.

Just watch the film. The trailer gives too much away, as they often do.

I have to pretend to be one of you now...

Not in terms of getting up before going to bed (it is 11:30 and I am still in bed, but I have been awake since 10:45 and I didn't get to sleep until gone 05:00).

No, in terms of pointless housework. I have promised that the house will be tidy for my guests.

My spider pets will be chased away to hidey holes and the fruits of their webby labours destroyed by frantic hoovering.

I have already moved my piles of paperwork and caught up in the kitchen.

For 24 hours I will pretend to be a tidy person but once my guests leave, the spiders can come back out to keep me company again! :whistle:

Latest breaking news ^_^
I went to the Spar for the mushrooms. Very few people in so........
I decided to brave it and go to the butchers. Not many people in but they were all stocking up for the end of the world :wacko:.
Got myself some bacon, some nice sausages and some eggs.....so I am sorted.
Then visited the auntie.
So all done and I can now chill.

A contradiction in terms, a turkey stuffing and gravy batch that needed a knife and fork.

Hello again, world!

Our shopping trip was successful, with the added bonus of a very good breakfast at a local cafe.

No further signs of rodent activity to report.

Its time to get the Christmas nibbles out, and maybe I will sneak in a small sherry before tea. Tonight, it will be gammon, egg and chips, which is a family Christmas Eve tradition.

Stay safe, one and all, and have a good day.
