a blood red sky as the sun rose this morning … now its just frosty and grey.... daughters going shopping … and son 1 tells me he is doing Goose this year and there will be 10 of us for Christmas day and over night till boxing day[son does all the cooking over the Christmas period except for pudding/desert]
strikes by the railway workers are on going and disruptive and the French rail etc workers are also striking either today or next Thursday.. so am glad we are not expecting those from across the channel to join us …...and all we have to do is get ourselves and grandson 2 to sons

Chilly with sun. The last of the fall leaves are coming down and most of us are coughing and sniffling and taking allergy meds.
Hope everyone here is having a good week so far with the weekend just a jump away.
Nice to see Fret back.
Back later after PT.

mouse, I suspect Jakie is going to eventually end up as your little pet and be very happy about it.
We expect to have moderate temperatures here today but back into freezing numbers tonight and probably tomorrow.
We'll bedoing a little Christmas shopping this weekend.

an other dark dank and drear day has dawned.... don't know if any of you have seen the video of THE Princess Royal [so called refusing to join the Queen in greeti ng trump at the Nato heads gathering..... well its another case of fake news or down right lies [which ever]….have seen the full video and its nothing of the sort....what happened is that trump and wife were the last to be greeted by the Queen... Anne was not in the official greeting line up.. but was with members of the royal household[always they bring up the rear and do not get presented]...…….
no Jakie wont end up as ours.... its just a combination of events that have led to the present situation …..his human starts her new job on Monday.. and he will come to us three days a week from then.... the term of Mayoral office will end this spring....so possibly jakie will not need to come at all....but who knows.... still we enjoy him even when he is a little grouch and too tired to show more than a half heard wag of his tail and one half opened eye in greeting as he spreads out on the sofa

Moderate weather today but windy. My neighbor gave me 4 rolls of unopened Xmas wrapping paper. She had bought it on sale last year and then forgot and bought more this year. Happy rest of the weekend to everybody.

Mine will be very much like yours. Going to start Jo-Jo Moyes' The Horse Dancer. I finished, The Last Letter From Your Lover, last night. I'm not sure I want to use Audio for this one. May pop out to Barnes & Noble and get a print copy. Home made chili for lunch with daughter stopping by to share.

I saved a ball game the other night and now I'm going to nuke a big bowl of pop corn, pop a cold pepsi and watch it!
Have a good Monday.

the last of the UK charity fund raising days is nearly on us.... Christmas jumper day..... you buy and wear the the jumper on a specific day...and raise money for charity at the same time ….the flasher and more in bad taste the better......makes the other two Rednose and Pudsey charity days look positively refined...…
the weather is yet again a re run of previous days and not the lashing gales we were expecting...

The ads are absolutely worse than they've ever been. I didn't realize it was Win 10 but have been blaming the various sites for sheer greed. The news sites are pushing everything from new cars to frilly sweaters to gourmet food. May as well watch their content on TV.

@beth."May as well watch their content on TV." I make a point never to buy anything that has been pushed at me in agressive advertizing ! I also use adblock but it interferes with some info channels. I keep IP Vanish on at all times and I have it set to Frankfurt in Germany which means I get German adverts. We were told that our machines do not sent any information back to home base about us, this is a lie of course, the very purpose of the PC is to gather information about our surfing so somebody can sell it on to somebody who can use it. I buy guns and ammunition from the Gunbroker website here in the USA but if the VPN is turned on using certain European locations then I cannot access the Gunbroker website because European countries don't like their citizens to know about the low prices of weapons in the USA. I reckon it will get worse !
