I'm thinking its time to carve my Pumpkins, but I've left it too late for Christmas themes and its far too early for Easter. What to do, what to do?

A nice relaxing boxing day, went back to bed for a few hours after letting Suki out. Late breakfast, and spot of lunch before taking her for a walk and then building Lego Optimus Prime while listening to Sky Sports News.

We remain stationed at mother-in-laws while she recovers. Chilled day. Ate lots of junk food and went no farther than the bins. Enjoying a blow-out before the measured pace of trying to get my diet/exercise/etc back to pre-pandemic times. I have an 18-month plan.
But by golly, I am enjoying the festive snacks, etc.
Hopefully in Scotlandland this weekend to see folks but depends on sentence one above.

Morning All!
It's Tuesday and it's another bank holiday!
Yesterday: Quiet morning. Aided by the lovely weather Liz and I took the wheelchair out for a walk.
Today: Another quiet day, which is the plan for the whole week. L's going to swim and has some prep to do for next term.
Pray Day goes OK, Sinuses, CMT and Head cope OK. Pray I sleep well tonight. Pray we stay protected from the virus.
Have a good day, stay safe & well.

I have safely returned home after 3 days with my sister's family in Liverpool. Train travel went smoothly enough. (Cardiff to Bristol, met up with Dad, Bristol to Birmingham, Birmingham to Liverpool, all on Christmas Eve. Then Liverpool to Birmingham and Birmingham to Gloucester today, where the train stopped and the rail replacement bus service took us on to Bristol. Saw Dad into a taxi, then train from Bristol to Cardiff.) I've just been celebrating my safe return home with a bubble bath made from a green concoction produced by Niece #1 using one of her Christmas presents, while sipping (me, that is) an orange truffle-flavoured Baileys, which was one of mine.
Six days of laziness now, before return to work.

Nick popped through for a brief visit. He got to meet Suki, who after an initial period of barking decided they were pals and sat on his lap for a while demanding to be scratched.

I have a decanter of M&S port looking at me from the drinks shelf. I only went into M&S the other week to buy a laptop bag, but some swine had positioned the port strategically by the checkout area of menswear under a 'special offer' sign, and it got me. Hmmm. Martin |

Oh, and while it felt familiar and normal at the time, it occurred to me that the rail replacement bus service was the first bus I've been on since early 2020. Covid got me into the habit of walking rather than using buses within towns and cities.

Don't be irritable at Christmas, Phil!
Early morning walk in the rain to Sainsbury's and back, and that's me done for the day.
The House of the Dragon Blu-ray binge shall commence forthwith.

Don't be irritable at Christmas, Phil! Oh I'd love not to be. But the pain, tiredness, weather and madness round me is making it very difficult. Better at the start of today. |

Probably Chicken Tikka Masala for dinner. Squashies will be consumed on the call tonight with some T/Vodka and Lemonade.
