    I really enjoyed Black Christmas last night. Gripping storyline.

    I'm going to a pre-Christmas dinner with friends later on.

    Tomorrow we're going Ancient Stone Bothering. Hopefully the wind will blow us to Dunamase / mask (masc?) Fort. Gotta go hug me in laws first :)
    I didn't feel like doing anything much for most of the year-delighted to have my enthusiasm back.

    You can already see the twins personalities and the way the little guy looks amused and affectionate at his bigger brother (looking out into the distance like he has a plan), as if he's already weary of his antics but wouldn't change him for the world. Little guy had stopped kicking while big guy was going he'll for leather, someone said little guys probably just the chilled out one and happy for his brother to hog the limelight :D

    It was mostly the sugar coated strawberries and those short little pipe shapes that are filled with a white insert.

    That I got home sort of safely :), myself & the car skidded on ice coming home from work this morning and landed in the ditch on the other side. Feeling very happy and grateful to be alive right now :D.

    Anyone driving today, be careful & take it easy. :)

    My mam, she’s an absolute angel. She knew I was working hard on my thesis today so just randomly brought me over a cup of tea and a bowl of stuffing (she was making homemade stuffing for the dinner) to “keep my energy up” :D

    Gin bottles.

    No, not emptying them - I can't stand the stuff, but I love looking at the bottles whenever I go past them in the supermarket. Their attractive and highly varied shapes, colours and labeling is very pleasing to the eye. Just don't ask me to actually drink it... :)

    TH for a bottle of original Nuremberg mulled wine and two toilet rolls.😁

    Had to get a thermostat unstuck for my neighbour granny. I never leave her place with empty hands, it’s just impossible. The wine will heat me this evening and don’t laugh about the rolls! My dripping nose left me without any reserves. 😄

    After that i started my daily bicycle patrol and discovered nice gadgets in the next village. People here put their junk out for the bin men to fetch it on a given day. Mostly they stick a paper to it “For free”. Everybody can take stuff away as long as you don’t leave a mess. 😉

    So one of the pots and the trolley are mine, ha!

    As i have three spare pallets i might build a two seater sofa with my old beanbag on top and the wheels under it. I already put an working model together. Another project. 😂

    Just listened to it now on YouTube, absolutely gorgeous, I'm sitting here wondering if music like that was played in shops and supermarkets would it stop the shopping frenzy,relax us and lead to more productive shopping ,I'm sure the shop owners wouldn't want to encourage a slow down in buying but mentally I think I'd actually enjoy the experience rather than the absolute headwreck of trying to think of what I need when theres crap music playing and I just want to get out of the shop...food for thought anyway but it definitely relaxed me listening to that piece.
