Chitchat thread #24

[greenishfing]

Flo, isn't it weird. We always want the sort of hair we don't have. My hair has always been poker straight and all I ever wanted was curls or at least waves. It's only in the last decade that it's started to get a slight kink. Mr GF has got proper curls and used to try and straighten his with all kinds of lotions and potions.

I've just been watching Kes on TV. It's years since I saw it. The accents, the people, the attitudes, the mines and muck stacks. So true to life and of it's era. A bit like Rita, Sue and Bob too, which came later.

Thanks Bren, I must admit I'm rather pleased with it this time. I'm growing it a bit longer than usual and my hairdresser used straighteners on it today. That's a first ever for me, so a letter to Santa is due. I don't even have a hairdryer, but I may put that on the list too

Evening

Your hair looks nice Flo

I finished making the last cards this afternoon so it’s time to hoover my craft room. With all the punch outs from die cutting it looks theres been a wedding in there

Enjoy your evening.

[lottie dolly]

deffinatly be good luck if i can locate it,if not,manage without it ,so all ends well with your lights FF

[Florence Fennel]

I've found my old lights Lottie and miraculously they all work, so I'll bung a set in the middle. Good luck with the mistletoe

[lottie dolly]

FF accept it as it is,the poor thing,who said a tree has to have lights all over it,just decorate that section differently,nice to have something different from others,my one is only a white twigg one with lights that change colours,i put diffent things on it each year,or nothing at all,i must see if i can get to it again,it does raise the spirits a bit,also want the mistletoe out the box ,i have had a lovely chill out so far today and several winks in the chair,

[Florence Fennel]

Well that's Sod's Law! The tree is up, but it's pre-lit and the middle section is not working! Looks like I'll have to string a separate set on to it. Definitely the last time

[Nicos]

Lazy Bones away there Lottie- it sounds like you deserve a rest!

[lottie dolly]

Moring all,enjoy every moment Jay,each new generation seems to grow quicker than the the one before,Lazy wind is an old saying where i come from,no need to worry about the smiles they got plenty of places to go to ,Nicos bet you be glad to get the doors done,thats the thing about a place,there's always something needs doing,seems like my tree could be staying away this year as well,just cannot be bothered,to much stuff to move to get at it,it is on new shelving,but other stuff has been shoved up to it,i miss my old place for loft storage as the attic was just through a door from the ensuit,and all boarded out,an excelent place for putting what you thought you needed ,poor missie she wants your attention,no plans for the day ,maybe lazy bones again,

Good morning all. Its dry, no breeze and its 8 degs.
Domestics this morning and then visiting my friend Joan in the nursing home.

Jay, I know how much fun you can have with a three year old and how much chaos they can cause but it's so worth it.
Enjoy it all , because it goes past in the blink of an eye,

Nicos, sounds like yours is a very busy house right now, best to keep going and get it all finished,

Have a good day all.

[greenishfing]

Good morning all.

Mothhawk, I love that description, "a lazy wind". I've never heard it before, but will use it in future.

It's 6°C and miserable weather here. Not enticing me through the front door in a hurry. At the very least we desperately need milk....which I somehow forgot yesterday.

[Snoop Puss]

Morning all.

Sounds like you've got a fun, if exhausting, time ahead, Jay. I reckon the smiles will be hanging around at yours for the foreseeable future. No need to feed or water them, but they will hang around the cake or biscuit tin. The smell is enough to keep them going. Wish I was like that, come to think of it, and didn't need to put cakes or biscuits in my mouth and round my hips and waist.

Moving on, the sky can't make up its mind today: faded blue or just plain cloudy. Could go either way or just alternate. Not at all warm. But the wind has dropped at least.

On the cards for today a whole heap of clack, clack, clacking. Fortunately Missie has taken to her chair. The keyboard is her favourite sound... Disastrous for the keyboard and disastrous for my work. So far she's only added obvious nonsense. Deletions would be far more difficult to identify.

Right, better get on with it. Have a great day, everyone.

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All Enjoy your play Jay! Dull and cold here. Hair cut this morning after erecting the tree. I'll dress it tomorrow. Have a good day

[Nicos]

Mornin n’alln’all
What a dull day here!..it’s hardly getting any lighter…. Well, whoever has my sunshine, do enjoy input on my behalf!

More carpentry going on here amidst my Xmas decorations…Looks like he’ll be here next week too Best to get the job finished though.
We are one piece of wood short for the last door, and the timber yard won’t have any more in for several weeks and can’t guarantee the colour match of the wood…so we’ve had to come up with something using pieces of cutoffs so it looks planned….three strips in a parquet style. So that will leave us with a couple of full length strips for something else!
Very happy with that Just shows what you can do to get around problems. I do like to think outside the box

OH is making bread again and the house smells wonderful.

Enjoy your day peeps…

Morning

It sounds like fun at your house Jay has your grandaughter 'helped' with the tree yet. Good to hear your puddings arrived safe GF, it didn't seem long back you mailed them.

Enjoy your day
