Auntie Carol

It's important to keep a close eye on what's occurring in the kitchen.

PLEASE HELP by keeping an eye out, sharing & letting me & the #police know if you see this car…My black #AlfaRomeo #Giulia, reg (if not changed) OE67 DCF, was #stolen from Aylesbury, #Bucks last night - the car I don’t care about but I’d really like back my #birdwatching #optics hidden in the boot.

Oh Frodo you're adorable. I can't imagine any of my Dales would have cuddled a teddy as nicely as you do.

I prefer parsley or none at all. With cranberry sauce on the side. Hopefully with enough leftover to have cold with a salad or in a sandwich.

I spy a mucky nose, have you been busy gardening Hugs?

It's going to be even warmer tomorrow!

From TFL - "Severe delays between Paddington and Heathrow Terminals due to heat-related temporary speed restrictions. Tickets are being accepted on London Underground. GOOD SERVICE on the rest of the line."

I gave up listening at 6.20 all the speculating about the Spring Statement is getting boring.

That's quite surprising given the number of feral camels there are. I thought they were routinely culled.

Poor soul's going to be confused when we move to BST.

That's wonderful news. Frilly seems to have fitted in very well.

Lovely to see you here Archie. I hope you are all healed up now.

The irony - we had a very brief (1 minute) power cut a couple of hours ago and the "smart" meter is still having problems getting data.

Who is this idiot on Mastermind?

Someone's making a point there!

He's certainly enjoying it.

I missed this gorgeous pic when Colm first posted it. My hut is up near the tower in the top right-hand corner. #Brightlingsea

Certainly have, 4 of my Airedales were from Airedale Rescue.

I caught the end of the @bbc5live.bsky.social overnight show this morning. Apparently the (male) presenter caught flu at the weekend but it only lasted a day. This was despite him having had 3 covid jabs. I despair.

I never did with any of my five and all lived to 12/13. One girl had a weird fine coat so she had a waxed jacket for the wet weather. I didn't clip them in the winter though.

Have you tried sage tea? My neighbour who used to be on the tv swears by it for treating coughs.

Enjoy your break.

I'm so pleased that it's not just me who doesn't understand the John Lewis Christmas advert.

It works for as we're retired and at home all the time. Fortunately I've managed to find good fixed rate deals over the last few years and that has really helped the cost especially when Ukraine was first invaded.

I loved her in No Offence.

We have ours at 20c, it comes on for 2 hrs in the morning, an hour at lunchtime and 5hrs from 4.30pm.

What are companies going to call the actual 12 Days of Christmas? Just musing. #12DaysOfChristmas

Full, misty day view of houses and low cloud.

It's a not-so-lovely day here on the Essex Sunshine (!) Coast. Day 4 of no sun but it should appear on Saturday.

Oh, that's lovely. Gosh where have those 5 years gone? I remember when Gabby arrived and she's done a great job in filling that huge void in your lives.

Aveeno skin relief hand cream and L'Occitane shea butter comforting cream get my hands & face through the winter.
