Good morning from a 39F and clear Shoreline area. No plans for the day today, so as usual will get on with my knitting at some point. I hope you all are staying safe and well and having as good a day as you can. xxxooo

This place has gone crazy. I’ve been to Wendy’s and sat and chatted and enjoyed ourselves, saying how much we will have to behave ourselves over 🎄 Christmas 🎅 when we are at our sons. It sounds an awful but….we aren’t moaning but…..ahaha.. we’d love to spend Christmas 🤶 there but it’s nice when it’s over too…..Christmas is for the young ones, although I do love going up to the family. Want they don’t realise is, I’ve got my stairlift. I need to use their stairs. And lots of other little things……Stephen is not known to have a lot of patience. If all else fails I’ll go and sit with the rabbits…….listen me…..many many old people would be over the moon to be out at Christmas. 🎄 I take all my moans back. I’ve aired them now so that’s off my chest.
Wendy hasn’t heard from the hospital 🏥, she looks a lot better on those ABs, so that might be all she needs. I’m not convinced, but I don’t say anything.
I called at Asda on the way home from Wendy’s. I needed some chocs for sophy, Matthew’s girlfriend for Christmas. 🎄 I think I’ve only seen her once, or maybe twice but no more, but I’ll have to give her something for Christmas.🎄 I’ll wrap them up tomorrow along with the family’s and write their cards 💳 out. Then I think I’m done, 👍 I’ve done very little and appreciate our Stephen for getting me the other things I needed.
I’m on my bed now, talking to you all and I feel so safe. After being out today. It’s been a bit of a shaky day today. Well I was in Asda. The cashier did it for me. Happy Christmas 🎅 lady cashier. Stay safe, I luv yawl, thinking of you Lisa and anyone else that needs that extra hug. 🤗 thanks for letting me moan.

Yesterday my Apple phone was acting up. It would not send messages. Called 611 for help. After trying a few things she ask if I ever do a hard shut down of the phone. Huh? So I did a hard shut down, (like unplugging it) left it shut down for a few minutes, turned it back on (plugged it back in) it worked perfectly again. Works great on t.v.'s and computers.
Yay 🙌 so proud of you hahaha 🤣 why can’t they just say, unplugged……it’s a whole new language

Good morning all from a damp and windy Norfolk. Needed to make bread today so that's on the go and then need to unpick the underarm gussets and try again, totally ended up in the wrong place, will have to re-think how to do it. Oh well it will keep me out of mischief this afternoon. Have a good one if you can. xx

Good morning from Port Hope Ontario Canada. It is 6:44 am EST and -3'C (27'f) going up to -2'C (28'F) with sunshine.
Work was quiet so I did some knitting. The guy who took all my tickets while I was away, didn't do any of them, so I was getting calls asking about them. I directed everyone to him.
My ears feel like I have some congestion in there. I hope that clears up before Knit Night. It would be nice to be able to hear everyone.
Mum got her computer back already. She is quite happy that it is so much faster than it used to be. So I think I will just give her money as her Christmas present. This repair cost a little less than she was expecting. She talking about having him replace the hard drive in her laptop after the New Year.
I'm half way through my sock heel. The stripes are still matching. It's a good way to check if I'm doing the same thing on both socks.

oops. I'm sure the second attempt will be better.
