Iam having my hair cut today, that's about all that is happening here.

Happy New Year

I was really shocked when Pete passed away, iam a very similar age to him and we think we are in sort of good health for our age of 70, after his Hernia op I expected him to come back stronger, and firing on all cylinders, for a while he did, then he was gone, it made me realise how fragile life is and maybe we are not as fit as we think we are. I would like to do more than I did last year, all I seemed to do last year was But I doubt it will happen, life and my financial position puts a stop to most things, so this year will just be a continuation of 2024, with maybe some some alterations in the spring. I too thank you @Buckster... @Pedro & @boboneleg for your commitment to keeping the forum running as it does, Good work guys.

We have the granddaughter with us today, that will keep my wife busy, she does most of the childminding/entertaining Off to the shops later, we need a few things, but not food or

I had one 5 and a half J,s fitted, bucket seats too, which were fitted by the previous owner, and a stonking 1.2 engine.

No plans for us, watch some crap TV or a film then go to bed about 1am after the fireworks stop, I assume they are fireworks but knowing this area it could be gun shots. I have 12 bottles of San Miguel not opened one yet... Happy New Year guys.

@Pedro is in a No Win situation. A bit like a Harley Davidson.

Decisions...Decisions...........Decisions.

Spot on.

Good morning.

The highlight of my day so far ......getting out of bed............the next highlight will be climbing back into it.

That is where I usually end up!..

I bought these on Billy Connelly,s recommendation......

We had a Merry Christmas in 2006, we went to Benalmadena in Spain for Christmas, on the 2nd day there my wife ended up in hospital for 3 days, and when we returned home I had picked up kennel cough. The weather was good though.

No visitor's for us (as usual) this Christmas...... I would not have it any other way.

Bah Humbug!.

Garden still has a good covering of fallen leaves, and broken branches from the recent storms, can't be arsed to go out and clear them, they will still be there waiting for me when spring arrives, so no rush.

She does like a Stella, or 2. We have been trying to have a wet room installed, the other 5 bungalows on the street have them, we asked the housing association.....but they say no, so tried for handrails to help her getting into the shower..... housing association says yes!.............if we pay for them. The social worker just say...enquire with your housing association, she has done nothing that we have not already tried, she is a mine of (useless) information, but of very actual little help. Will have to carry on getting the wife out on the rear yard and give her a good jet washing, when the weather is warmer, till then

We have the social workers here, what a waste of time they are, they are here trying to justify their job, at the same time as being fucking useless.

Casuals..... How long before someone mentions..The Riding Season. But who am I too talk................. I hardly ever go out.

She would be too busy gasping for breath while walking to eat anything,

I would send my wife shopping if I could,but she can't drive, so I end up being the load carrier.

Not too bad at our local Asda, I was expecting pandemonium in there........ but it does help that we don't particularly do the whole Christmas thing... so we were in the shop and out within 15 mins...

Christmas turkey (thawed) ruined, along with many many other foodstuff. Not much breast or leg meat on the Robins, so they ain't a alternative.

Thanks for that @KAYZ1......will give it a go tomorrow.
