After some overnight rain, it's a beautiful clear day.  We're off to town to post some pressies.  Any other year we would be able to travel down to England to meet up and deliver things in person.  This year we've had to choose pressies that we could easily post and that weren't too heavy.  Up to 2 kg isn't too dear.
You'll have had your tea.

only one of my girlfriends wore a sussie, mostly they wore garters
the one who wore the belt had to borrow sixpence because 'she' lost a button off the belt so had to substitute the sixpence for the button... i might go to Canada and get my tanner back... ;D ;D ;D

Hey crabby... That's gotta be worth a couple of bob by now... what with inflation..
Everything will be alright in the end, and if it’s not alright, its not the end.

What have I been doing.... ::) I got hooked in Google street view maps....Looking at all the places and villages near where I lived and from where my parents came.....It is all so real ! The Alps, the villages...all of it. I found the small Hamlet that was named after my Grandfather !!!! Still bears his surname !....And, it is hard to believe..not far from it,a small Hamlet that bears the surname of Jenny's husband.....It is a small world..... :D :D :D

I am now suitably worn out....so, Jenny bought me a nice cup of tea and mince pie....my feet are up and I am having a rest....Before I choose a nice good old Film on You Tube....All I do, is key in You tube  "My man Godfrey."...and up come the old Films that are much more enjoyable than the more recent rubbish..... :D gmx

There’s nothing wrong with modern rubbish that not watching it won’t cure!

Got a call from the surgery today and now have an appointment in the car park for my flu jab in a week or so. I'm hoping that if they're dishing out the new vaccine by then I can perhaps get that too.

Did 1 load of washing then I popped up to Newtown (about 60 mile round trip) I didn't buy much but I did go into Morrison's, Tesco and Poundstretcher and fuelled the car.

I had several things lined up for today BUT, it's snowing  :o  Just let the dog pop outside and wasn't expecting the white stuff. Hope it doesn't last as I hate the snow, was going over to Wick, but will see how things turn out weather wise.

Can I persuade you to keep the white stuff to yourself, please?

Good morning everybody !......It is so very dark !....Me too dislike snow..... :'( I only like it in pictures.....Thinking about doing my usual order to Sainsburys....Seven years I have been on my own....and I noticed that in said time, my order to Sainsburys, has gone up from about £45- 50....to £55-65

A jump of  £ 10 in 7 years.....I order about the same items from them.  During the week,  Jennifer gets me usually Milk, bread and a couple of bananas, if I need.   


Looking forward to my breakfast.....and remembering the ones I used to have with Micky when we had to catch a train to get to Liverpool street station to get to work......Eggs, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms on toast.....The ad " Go to work on a egg..." on the side of the buses !!!!

Ads in those days used to become famous....Like :  I wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent....And what happened to "ESSO  ESSO" ? Put a tiger in your thank....  Can anyone remember them ?    I wish you could and put them here ! I loved them, it would be nice to read them again ! .....Friday is....? a hair shampoo ad.....?   gmx

You could follow  the trail !.....Happy days......gmx
