Chitchat thread #24

I did consider doing some bedding Bren, but decided against it. The wind is so strong here I think they'd only be wound around the lines!

Good Morning All Very windy here, but sunny. Have a good day

Flo we’ve now got gusty winds so the laundry’s going on the line using hurricane pegs. It’ll either be dry or in next doors garden

Back again.

Another unexpected delivery. Cheese and wine. Two of my favourite things! They arrived in a well insulated box, with the enclosed freezer pack still half frozen.

I've just had a BRILLIANT idea. When I see my youngest niece, who has just left home and bought her first house, I think I'll ask her if she wants any of my kitchen stuff that I don't use any more. Such items as an ice cream machine and pasta maker, which are still taking up space in the back of a cupboard.

Good morning all. Bright and breezy here. Lots of last minute bits and bobs to be done around the house so I dont need to go out today. The traffic crazy so I'm glad not to have to get caught up in it,
Have a good dsy whatever your up to.

i was unexpectedly able to use the mistletoe yesterday evening

Nothing like having a nice bit of ‘Snoggy Stuff’ to hand in case of emergencies!

[greenishfing]

Good morning all.

It's sunny here at the moment, but with a howling wind. The rain isn't due to start until about 4pm.

I'm happy to hear that we're heading back towards Summer again now. I absolutely hate the dark evenings that seem to start just after lunchtime some days.

I need to organise a time between now and Christmas Eve when I can go a few miles down the M1 and meet up individually with my sisters to give them the presents for their families. (They don't actually speak to each other, a long saga, that I refused to get involved in!)

For now, I'll just top up my caffeine levels.

Morning

Happy midwinter its a dry-ish day here then snow late this evening until Sunday morning.

A bit of sewing this morning just shortening some new pj's before they're washed. Later we'll be decorating the mantlepiece and putting up other bits.

Enjoy your day

[Snoop Puss]

Morning all.

Off out this morning. A surprise to me, I thought it was tomorrow, but we'll do some veg shopping while out, so all good.

Enjoy the foot lady's visit, LD. You'll be tripping the light fantastic afterwards. And standing on tiptoes under the mistletoe, no doubt.

Right, better shake a leg. Mr Snoop is a stickler for punctuality and I'm hopeless in that respect...

Have a great day, everyone.

Morning Nicos and all, and Happy Midwinter!

I've been looking up sunrise/sunset times, and was surprised to see that even though today is the shortest day, the latest sunrise is not until 30th December (08:16 here) although from tomorrow it sets a minute or two later each day.

Mornin n’alln’all

Bit warmer here with on and off fine drizzle…..so I might get a chance to get some driveway weeding done!…I managed a bit yesterday and they pulled out incredibly easily, so it would be a pity to waste this warmer/ dryer opportunity!

Well I never!….I’ve just realised it’s Midwinter’s Day…yip yip….the days will start getting longer at long last Always an uplifting thought!
Does anyone on the Vine specifically celebrate today ? If so…enjoy the day.

Whatever you get up to today…pass on a smile ( I spotted them not long ago whizzing overhead giggling away- I guess they know some exciting festive secrets people have shared!)
