I popped down to M & S for a few last minute vegs. Even at 8.30am it was heaving.
Our kitchen tiler arrived this morning to measure-up. He's broken his hand BOXING.
About 3 days ago I spotted a new neighbour had left her keys in the front door lock. I knocked on the door and told her. This morning I noticed that she'd done it again, so again I knocked on the door and told her. Silly gal.
I spotted this graffiti on the way back from M & S. I don't usually like this sort of thing, but I do rather like this.
I feel it's going to be a good day. Don't forget to watch Carols from Kings at 6.25 pm on BBC2. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without it.
Happy Christmas Cro to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteAnd to you too Yael. I was thinking about you this morning. xx
DeleteMerry Christmas, Cro. Hope it's a good one. xx
ReplyDeleteIt will be; I wouldn't have it any other way!
DeleteHeaving or heavin' is such a great descriptive English word.
ReplyDeleteA pugilist one handed tiler doesn't sound so useful.
I used to knock on doors when keys were left in locks, but in our fairly secure building, I no longer bother.
Merry Christmas to you and Lady M.
I shan't bother again. Twice warned is enough. Thank you for your good wishes.
DeleteA set of paint aerosols for Christmas?
ReplyDeleteFor many, I expect that's exactly what they've asked Santa for!
DeleteCauliflowers are 39p in Tescos today!
ReplyDeleteI might pickle some; they're very good in a sweet light-ish brine.
DeleteDoes the graffiti say "SHOO!"? Must be a lot of bothersome feral cats in Brighton.
ReplyDeleteI never try to read graffiti; it usually doesn't make sense anyway.
DeleteShe's probably thinks here's that silly man knocking on my door again. For someone previously living in France and used to to not locking doors I am surprised you bother.
ReplyDeleteI did wonder whether she was a country lass; she only moved in a week ago!
DeleteHappy Christmas. It sounds like your are prepared for a festive day and a meal fit for a king. Leaving keys in a door visible to the street seems risky. This invites a break in.
ReplyDeleteIf we haven't got it, we ain't having it. I'm not doing any more shopping! Yes, I wouldn't leave the keys in the door here. In France we never, ever, locked our doors, and the car keys were always left in the car.
DeleteHappy Christmas to you, your family and of course Billy and hoping for a better 2022 for for everyone. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol. Things can only get better.
DeleteMerry Christmas, Cro! Love all your posts!
ReplyDeleteThank you; I hope you're keeping well. x
DeleteMerry Christmas, Cro.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Cro!!
ReplyDeleteA very merry Christmas to you and all you hold dear. All the best for the new year too!
ReplyDeleteMerry Xmas Cro and Mrs Cro and all the family. Your get together sounds perfect...all there Xmas day, gone Boxing Day, what could be better? Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Cro. I don't remember reading if you were ever able to get your booster. I hope so... and if not, soon. Take care and have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteMerry Xmas . Wishing you a day full of joy with those you love.
ReplyDeleteYes. Makes me think of Pirate who when packing the car, leaves the keys in the door so that he doesn't lose them....
ReplyDeleteEasy done when you are getting the shopping in, keys in the door, take the bags in....
Happy Christmas, and here's hoping for a kinder New year xx
I enjoy reading your blog. Thanks for posting. B.
ReplyDeleteI have watched Carols from Kings for many years - never missed it. It fact it didn't have the same impact this year for some reason - usually it starts off my Christmas but it didn;t tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe singing was perfection. One carol was sung to an alien tune. Wilcox was up to his tricks again with his bizarre arrangements. Otherwise I loved it.
DeleteHappy Christmas to you Lady M and Billy and all of your family. Appreciate your blog and read it daily many thanks.Let us all have a happy new year with health and peace.
ReplyDeleteThe graffiti certainly is colourful. I hope the lady learns to take her keys in before she gets robbed.
