I still remember the theme tune.

When you warm up, with a cup of coffee, after being out in the cold. ☕️

I'm off tomorrow and Monday, and I'm sitting at my desk eating a free turkey & ham Christmas dinner. 😎 (I don't like sitting in the canteen at the best of times, but definitely in pandemic-y times).

TH watching the Australians qualify for the 2022 Winter Olympics mixed doubles curling.. The female, Thaly Gill, who had the last stone, had a great draw to land it almost right in the middle of the house, pushing out the Korean stone.. she were well happy too 😊

On the bus today, and as we approached one stop, I could see two adults and two small children waiting, all earnestly wearing Santa hats.

It made me smile. 😁

Had such a lovely day with the kids visiting Santa up at Westport house. Santa and Mrs. Claus were such good actors and the whole experience was just spot on. Will definitely be back next year 👌

This morning I feel like death, seriously, my arm feels like I’ve been repeatedly stabbed with a scissors by a demented monkey...and jet lag vaccine lag is super strong... but worth it.

Enjoyed the great burst of sunshine this morning and much milder weather. For anyone that struggles with the darkness in winter, the days will start getting longer from Tue Dec 21st, less than 10 days from now.

Great game of golf this morning. Scoring was poor but the company and weather were wonderful. Good to be able to enjoy the outdoors.

According to one of my sources, from tomorrow there is a 2 second stretch in the evening and will move slowly incrementally from there, as someone who struggles with long dark days, I'm hanging on to that 2 seconds for dear life.

Its back, I saw that info on it yesterday. which is a TH for me.

A bit niche I know, BUT for the first time since lockdown ended, everything is hanging up where is should be, food is pickled, parcels packed and ready for postage, soaked pans are cleaner and outside airing and the assessment from hell turned in with hours to spare!

As close to perfect as it gets in that section of BB's world

purchased a new treadmill about two hours ago... the one that I’d been looking at online and had been considering didn’t look all that sturdy in person, nor was it equipped with the modern features of the higher spec model, the rails were moving during use and considering the use it would be getting that’s a problem but the higher spec and newer model was only a few hundred dearer so a no brainer.... only downside is a three week lead in before delivery, was hoping to see it before Xmas but apparently due to a high volume of orders even though they have the units they ain’t got enough technicians to install...still, I am happy...

Eating trifle.

Out of office turned on. No more work until the 4th.

Since i bought an exercise bike 3 years ago I have been always trying to sync the Bluetooth connection between my iPad and the bike, so I can use the Ifit app but also play Spotify through the speakers…. I had tried everything but without success and was convinced the software or Bluetooth was knackered despite being a newish bike but just felt the urge to give it another go just now, it works ! I can now cycle through Manhattan at sunset… it’s quite cool…

It's such a beautiful, mild and calm night out. 😊

After a long four weeks(damn covid) , I get to physically see and hug two munchkins tomorrow 🙌

It's the final countdown! 🙌

So every year, Dogs Trust do a day where they let all their doggies choose their own Christmas present. They film it and it's always joyous.

They posted this year's video on Twitter today and We Rate Dogs retweeted it. For those of you who don't know, WRD is basically the biggest (and best, and most heartwarming) dog account on Twitter. The whole thing blew up and I saw a comment from Buzzfeed on the thread about an hour ago asking could they write about it. Unbelievable publicity for Dogs Trust and they'll probably hit their fundraising target for the whole of 2022 as a result. Brilliant.
