    Morning all on a dismal and damp boxing day. Not doing anything today other than recover from yesterday and whatever I'm suffering with. Apparently according to young oxo I'm horrible. We got him an electric razor so he doesn't look like teen wolf, he just didn't like the joke one he received first.

    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Oxo ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Fuzzy head will be sorted by a decent run in the hills.

    Then prepare for Christmas Day repeat, assume we will have even more left over turkey then.

    Meant to be walking and pubbing with friends first, could get messy like last night again.

    So close to being a Christmas baby, more presents to open today. Family being nice to me, breakfast in bed, life isnโ€™t too bad. Wet, wet, wet. A day of board games and over competitive children beckons. Enjoy the left overs!

    I should have added my mum did this to me nearly 40 yrs ago at Christmas.

    Happy birthday @seanoconn - enjoy the double presents!

    Not sure what today will bring. Will be popping up to the local priority post box with a PCR test this morning (although really not sure itโ€™s worth it as the wife clearly has the rona). Still need more milk though so either way Iโ€™m popping out. Then I need to turn yesterdays left over beef into a chilli for everyone, take some to the in-laws and basically keep everyone nice and level for the day. Hoping to hear something about how my mumโ€™s doing as she went into hospital yesterday, which was nice. My sister-in-law at least persuaded my dad to go round to theirs for Christmas dinner last night, which is a proper achievement given how completely stubborn he is. Then I guess itโ€™ll be boys playing computer games and me reading or something.

    Have a good day everyone!!!

    Ciao

    Sitting on couch with bambina avoiding taking the Hound for a walk as I really can't be bothered so will leave that joy to TDV.

    Then family stuff followed by family meal. May find something to tinker with in an attempt to keep a low profile.

    Have a good one Seano.

    Very quiet on the Western front. The girls were stars yesterday - cannot complain.
    There's too much cloud to know what direction to not go in SG.

    Morning folks,
    Slowish start is being enjoyed after the chaos of yesterday. Going to the old dear's later for the Christmas lunch we should have had yesterday, more chaos then. Might walk back over the common if it's not too wet.
    Happy birthday Seano, also my name day. Hope your Mum's alright Mr GTi. As you've just had the 'rona can a PCR not still show positive as a result? I must confess I do lose track of some of these things and weeding out misinformation gets harder as there is so much of it.
    Have a good day everyone whatever you may be doing.

    Seano - happy birthday you old git :)

    Extra slow start after yesterday, even the hounds had a lie in. Looks like the in-laws are visiting tomorrow as the positive test one of them had was a dodgy private one and the NHS PCR test they got yesterday was negative. Hey ho, but at least we don't have to eat our way through the food we had for them.

    May have a go on the girls exercise bike later as the leg feels a fair bit better (and the physio said give it a try) but weather is gopping and not worth getting real bike stuff ready for a short stint.

    I the meantime the hounds are keen to get out to say Merry Christmas to the squirrels and pigeons in the garden.

  • Happy birthday Seano. Must be closer to senility than puberty now, eh?

    Bad back was the story of the morning, took nearly an hour of steady shuffling along the road till it had eased enough to stand up almost straight.

    Managed some very slow progress on the DIY works this afternoon. Weather turned rubbish though.

    @johngti Hope all ok with Mum.

    I wasn't a Morris dancer, I worked in that pub for a while, drank there a lot more. In fact we had one just now, but Hยณ had left by then

    Reminds me of a few choice lines from that old Kevin Bloody Wilson song about Shane Warne: 'We asked 500 Sheilas would they sleep with you Shane: 75% of them said "never again!" '
