Good morning everyone and a belated happy birthday to you Gwyn.

Son visited yesterday bringing more gifts - I was expecting him but not the extra gifts.

Dtr and family went to the Aus v England cricket match at the MCG on Boxing Day and I have been glued to the box watching the game. It reminded me when hubby and son were at the infamous Chappell underarm bowling match many years ago.

There are rumours of England’s cricketers boozing so heads may roll yet! :-S

Cold here but dry.

Enjoy the day everyone and if you hit the sales, good luck. :-D <3

Morning Joy and Thank you :-) <3

Lovely to see your son.
It's great when they are near enough to visit.

Feels very nippy here, but I haven't investigated outside yet.
There was frost on the windscreens, when we drove home from son's last night, but the roads were OK and quiet.

A day of shunting things around in the fridge juggling for space and eating more turkey, I expect.
If the cold wind drops, we might go for a short walk and come home to hot chocolate :-D

Morning Gwyn. :-D <3

Lovely idea, walk then hot chocolate, Gwyn. :-D

I have left over lamb (my favourite). Went to bestie’s for Christmas lunch and her OH did the cooking cos she is still suffering from a fracture. He did chicken so we had a bit of both.

I am lucky, Gwyn, as son lives about an hour’s drive away and Dtr lives a five-minute walk away. Son’s wife was working part of Xmas Day and all day yesterday - it’s the nature of her job.

I plan a lazy day watching things I have recorded and working on a family tree for someone who has asked me to do it for him. I was in Northern Ireland the last time I looked at it. :-D

Morning all :-) <3

Not ventured outside but it is grey and dry here.

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and Boxing Day.

Joy - was up your way yesterday. My sister-in-law who lives in Lincoln was on a coach trip with a friend staying in Durham for Christmas. They were at the Royal County Hotel so we went up yesterday to take the opportunity of seeing her (Lincoln is too far for me to travel these days). We had coffee there and then went to the Kingslodge Inn for lunch. It was nice catching up with her..

A lazy day doing not much today.
