Smurfjed, what's the temperature like there, we're just above zero here currently, a real sharp drop off.
Ted stay cosy, I'll get the tea and toast on soon

Morning my lovelies! Glad to hear about all of the negative covid tests
On the couch eating peanut butter from the jar, it's going to be a good day
I have no space for it but I gave in and bought a microwave yesterday and also 5 jumpers and a coat
In my defence I couldn't fit my coat in my suitcase and I am in Aberdeen after all! And after putting on so much weight I need more winter clothes though at this stage maybe my blubber will keep me warm

Going to where I am. OK? OK!
Am waiting for amazon to restock their own brand breadmaker as I have some money towards one if it is that price, else a second hand one it will be. Spendthrift I am ! Almost " bedtime" here; no stamina these days 0 -

I bought with a new winter coat and have no excuse apart from the fact that my Regatta coat needs to be dry cleaned and I don't have anything to replace it with when it's at the cleaners. I wanted a non anorak /parka type to pose in when I occasionally break out of prison. I gave up trying to find one with a hood (I don't do well with umbrellas ) because all I could find were duffle coats and I can't do them, even ironically. I just end up looking like Paddington bear. What I got in the end is a long, large check woolen trench coat style number with strong 80s retro vibe. It put on a smile on my face, as did my studded biker boots. No excuse, just want to be adequately clothed and shod for winter and look and feel like ME.
Well the style coat you got is back in fashion now. I'm well learned on ladies fashion doon't you knoow... 0 -

@ Phoenix, enjoy!! Aberdeen is a lovely city. Granted its like a decade since I was there but I loved it, very old school place, lovely market on Saturdays, if that's still going on nowadays. Pubs were magic too, really nice people as well. I loved it there. I like Scotland in general though anyway. And by jaysus a girl with a Scottish accent is an attractive combination, best accent in the world imo.
Anyway, I'm just in the door from a days fishing. Long story short(ish), a few weeks ago I found this really overgrown stretch of canal off the beaten track which is what I love when fishing, just timed it to be there for the sun rising on a Friday morning on a day off work a few weeks ago and the fog/mist was rising off the canal and I strolled down it with all my fishing gear and it was beautiful sitting there without a sound apart from the birds chirping. It ended up being my best ever days fishing, I was catching bream the size of a giant wok and plenty of them, it was unreal. So I sent all the pics of the fish to a friend who's into fishing and he was saying you have to bring me with you next time. (as a by the way, I wouldn't have it in my nature to hurt a living creature so all fish went back alive and safe).
So anyway we planned this for weeks, today was the day. Roughly 120 quids worth of groundbait, bait, tackle, enough sandwiches to feed an army, etc later and I got up at 5.30am this morning and I'm having brekkie and listening to Temper Trap Sweet Disposition up full blast in the kitchen and all made up for the day ahead. We packed enough stuff to sink a ship, all set for 13 hours marathon of fishing and I had said to him, we'll catch huge ones here, purely based on my last outing.
So off we went. Got there in the dark, sun came up, beautiful setting. First fish was the size of your hand and I laughed and said don't worry they'll get bigger over the hours.
So anyway, next one was slightly smaller and next one smaller and so on.... eventually we were catching fish smaller than a goldfish.
9 hours later after 23 goldfish had been caught, we gave up. No idea why it went from so good to so bad in that few weeks but I've never seen fish as small as these If you had a tadpole and doubled it in size, yer not far off
He laughingly accused me of bringing him to the wrong place deliberately to keep the good spot from last time for myself :pac:
Beautiful day though, the right hand side of my face has turned a sun-kissed pink and the left hand side looks no different than it did prior to the goldfish fishing.
In the sunroom now and sipping a craft beer and listening to The Zombies - Time of the season, great song. Dinner is in the oven. I kinda fancied getting a take away but I'm gone right off fish and chips.0 -

Fireside after another glorious day, great 7 km walk earlier in fantastic Autumn sunshine albeit with a nip in the air but one of those fantastic day's for a brisk walk. Settled down for the night now catching up on a few bits online and about to consume a nice cool bottle of beer from the fridge 0

Sounds great, used to go tench fishing in this wild pond at day break, mirror calm, smoke faeries of mist on the the pond surface, oh the anticipation...
As for the Scottish accent on a girl, I love it...
Sitting on the couch having a wine after the longest run I think I'll ever ever do, it was perfect weather and it was for charity...
Our hurling club is in the county final, we haven't won it in 83 years !!
The nerves are kicking in...
Wish us luck everyone...0 -

Listening to Cilla Black "knowing I love you" now while sipping an O Haras craft beer in the sunroom. Right so I'll freely say I like a couple of Cilla Black's songs. I'd get shot dead by most of my mates for saying that, well I only have a few anyway, so that's 2 people out of 3, but I liked her stuff.
It's actually a cracking song and she gives it proper welly, sorta like modern day Adele does but she's dreary as fook so I'd prefer Cilla. Maybe it goes back to my love of anything to do with Liverpool and someone once told me that at one stage 4 of the top 5 singles in the UK were once all from Liverpool, between The Beatles(twice), Cilla and another band who's name I've forgotten. I'm not sure if that's true but I love it. Liverpool is, and always has been a wonderful place.
Anyway..............
So anyway usually I'd listen to one Cilla song and then jump away to other bands and back to Cilla's other song and stuff.
But tonight I listened to Cilla's two songs back to back and there's a weird pattern...
From Knowing I love you:
1) Anyone who had a heart would love me, why wont you?
2) I take you back - Without you I'd die dear
From You're my world:
1) you're my world, you're my night and day
2) you're my world, you're every breath I take
3) If our love ever ceases to be, its the end of the world for me
I know they were different times back then but no feminism medals going for our Cilla
Tad needy with the auld lyrics.
I'm away now to have another beer and listen to The Police "every breath you take I'll be watching" Feckin stalkers 0
