Christmas day in on a Wednesday

You've ruined my day now with the mention of the C word.
Everything was going along swimmingly.

This is the view from my bathroom window. It happened ten days ago. No one can quite understand how it didn't either go through the roof or roll down and go through the kitchen extension below. Mortar had perished apparently.

Christmas day in on a Wednesday

What’s the date?p

Yes, I have to agree with that.
None of us are perfect (apart from possibly me ) but we are all working together on this.

It is good that you have help. I have people who say, "If there is anything I/we can do for you," unfortunately, it is never easy to ask. I intend to go forward being the person who does something rather than saying those wasted words.

On a cheerful note I have been to the gym this afternoon and managed to get the manageress (are they called that now ?) in fits of laughter, it cheered me up at the same time. Lidl shop now.

Worked this morning for a couple of hours, fiddled around in the garage with bikes for an hour, then took my son out for a quick driving lesson, he’s picking it up really quickly. Then a pleasant ride on the Brommie into town for a coffee.

That would of made quite a noise landing on the tiles. Presumably it landed length ways so the rafters held it up.

It did fall lengthways and stayed like that for two days till someone could be found to secure it.

Modest to a fault as well, I see.

Isn't that interesting?, that makes two of us

It's lucky there was a wall underneath. As for it not sliding/rolling that's another piece of good luck.

Halloween must be on a Thursday then.....

I was out in Croatia a couple of weeks back, and the Christmas shop in Dubrovnik seemed to be doing a roaring trade. 🥺
