Morning everyone.
Clear skies this morning, but for how long is anybody’s guess. Lovely meal last night in the Old Engine House in Torbay. Banana got us there and home safely.

Good morning everyone ....... My brother in law and his wife were recently driving back from Mombasa in his Range Rover and the aux belt snapped. As he pulled into the side of the road onto the verge, a man came out of the bushes and said he could get him another belt and fit it for him. Cut a long story short, they were gobsmacked that there was someone in the bushes there and then who was able to replace the belt in a jiffy. After hearing their story, I decided to have the aux and drive belt replaced on my 4x4. It was all done in a morning and after he left, I had to call the mechanic back as the A/C belt was making a squeaking noise when I reversed the car. He got some spanners out etc and made a simple adjustment. I guess he tightened something up. My next task, is to replace the front shocks as the one on the left is leaking. I hope you are able to get it all sorted when you are able to find the time. |

Good morning, have you done your Christmas shopping? We have been invited to go for Christmas day lunch at friends not so far away. Jessica had built their house several years ago, a beautiful house in the style of a plantation mansion. I am on a special diet and will be taking my own food with me, they are okay about that and they said 'bring you own food and we will put it on a smart plate, no one will notice'
What is everyone up to for Christmas? |

Morning Phil, morning all.
Christmas Day Ros and I will be spending with my Aunt and Uncle and then we will go over to the nursing home to see Ivy later in the day. Boxing Day we will be over at my Mum’s and her husband, my brother, sis in law and two nephews will also be there. The weekend after Christmas we hope to be on the boat and my Dad and his partner will be joining us. Think that just about covers it. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas on here and let’s hope 2020 brings health, wealth and happiness to all

Morning, bright but cold here today. Christmas shopping is done, just the food shopping to do now. Christmas morning we get up about 8.30 so the kids can open their pressies. Even at 21 and 16, they still get excited on Xmas morning.Then I will go and collect my mother and bring her to ours for Xmas day. She always went to my aunt’s for Xmas day, but obviously that can’t happen any more. When I asked her to come for Xmas day a couple of weeks ago, she said” no it’s alright, I’ll just have a quiet day here, I will be ok “ I said, no way, you are coming to us and that’s final. I wouldn’t be doing my duty as a son leaving an 87 year old lady on her own on Xmas day. We will probably have Xmas dinner mid afternoon. Boxing Day, will be spent just chilling, as my daughter is at work .

Evening all, I'm back in Norfolk now, the traffic wasn't too bad for the time of year and it stayed dry on both journeys.
The return journey was made better by One of Mrs marinabrians full English breakfasts before heading off
