Velvet, I'm well and I've been able to avoid Plan 9 from Outer Space so far in my life

Evening all 

Ended up quite mild and bright up here.

Squiggle, it was PB's nativity at nursery today. Son and DiL were able to get a couple of hours off work to attend. It was parents only viewing but DiL said PB was word perfect and thoroughly enjoyed it. Son dropped off PB at ours after nursery, DiL had dropped off BB first thing.

BB is fascinated with my new Santa, which runs as it plays the Benny Hill tune.

He sits on the floor laughing and bopping along, as Santa runs around him.

Summer, I'm glad the hospital visit went well.  I agree with Velvet's eloquent description of you.

Velvet and El, I'm glad you've managed to keep your feet on earth.

Sounds like all is well    

Evening Velvet.

All is well, thanks.

Have you got the new laptop up and running?

velvet donkey posted:

Fingers crossed Yogi, yes. Just need to disengage pop ups at the weekend on Windows 10. I'm aye worrying     

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too.

You can't help being a worrier, Velvet. I'm the same.

I'm going to get off now, goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet.

Night owl hugs for Summer and Ros

Aw you guys are too kind the family in question have been good to me and are having Bramble when I go on holiday, so I'm more than happy to return the favour 

Sorry to have missed you yogi, PB's nativity sounds wonderful  

I hope you've had a lovely day velvet? 

night yogi summer  velvet

Good morning everyone

A sunny day here today.

Yogi, I'm glad PB enjoyed her nativity

Summer, it's good to have friends like that

Velvet, I think you may have bought a box set of all of Ed Wood's films

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone.

It rained last night but is dry atm.

Summer, it's always good to be able to help out friends.

Hoping for a quiet day.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning everyone, a nice bright morning. Off to buy crackers and last minute things this morning.

Well said Velvet, a very good description of Summer's kind and caring nature.  Yogi I am so glad PB did well in the nativity, I had no doubts she would be word perfect.  I can just picture BB being so entranced by the musical Santa running around.

There was a lovely moonset this morning.  The only time I have witnessed it, it was a supermoon and you could see the craters with the naked eye.  The moon was very bright and then turned orange as it began to set and sank behind the trees.

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, I'm glad you were able to see that moonset

Moin! It's sunny but damp. We'll go out on the bikes shortly. Then I'll have a look at my son's house. I don't feel well enough to go to the football tonight.

Aye, not bad thanks Sweet    

 

Woke up to the dreaded "Oh ****, what did I buy on the internet last night?"   

I hope you got what you wanted & needed and nothing ridiculous 

Good morning all I've been awake several times this morning but just kept falling back in to a heavy sleep! 

Squiggle your view of the moonset sounds magical, what a blessing I hope it's set you up nicely for the day 

yogi, I hope one of you videoed BB dancing with Santa, that'll be one to keep! 

Summer, sounds as if Mr Sandman has been affecting you. Here's an alternative version of the well known song as it mentions Santa Claus and even a pumpkin coach

A couple of photos from us bike ride.

Typical cold snowy December day.

GJ, that first photo in particular looks like a December day with the trees with no leaves and the low sun. 

Velvet, I hope that cd is one you've been looking for some time as that seems expensive. I assume it's a collector's item.

Very striking voices Velvet with quite a vocal range. As you say, not everyone's cuppa tea but I like it

This is rather good

As you say it's rather festive

Warning to those in business. Beware of any phone call from 01613940000 claiming to be re Eon and offering cheaper electricity deals. A search on that number will show that the callers may become very offensive . They seem to be targetting businesses rather then private households.

My ex-girlfriend who was Irish once gave me a cassette of the best of Daniel O'Donnell on the basis that her mother liked him and his songs were sometimes played when I was at their house. I know he's very popular for some but his music was unlistenable to me.

Though I could easily forgive her as she also gave me this.

That's the full length version - there is some flashing lights though as a warning to anyone who suffers from photosensitivity.

Thanks Velvet I love that one. Here is another of his that I love. Hope it works as I'm on me phone

I love that, thank you. It's one of those songs that gets in my head and I sing & hum it all day long lol 

blue Christmas by Elvis is another one 

Thanks for the phone warning El, I've been missing calls from that number, so definitely won't answer if I see it again! 

Lovely pics Joe it's just my opinion of course, but give me the countryside over a city centre any day of the week! 

I hope you've all had a good day, mines been lovely;  I've treated myself to a manicure and Bramble got a 100% score at the vets for her health check I'm relieved because a few people have recently criticised me for her being "too thin" but the vet says she's perfect. It seems to be far too common for dogs to be overweight these days, so a healthy one would appear skinny in comparison 

Velvet thanks for your lovely post last night, I was touched  

how was your day?

Thanks Velvet, I do like John Denver  and Sunshine On My Shoulder is lovely - and (as you know) I had Annie's Song played at my wedding because I love the lyrics.

Another lovely one, Squiggle.

Dire Straits over Daniel O'Donnel for me, El.

My vet has said the same to me - so many overweight dogs out there, it has become the norm.

Glad you've had a good day.

Squiggle, you were lucky to see that beautiful moonset.

Lovely pics, Joe.

My day has been good, thanks. 

I'm hoping to finish my Christmas shopping tomorrow. *crosses fingers*
