Lots of sunshine..
Went for a walk.. Tidied up the garden..  
That's me done for the day.. Going to sit down with a cup of tea and a mince pie.. and watch Classic TV..
At the moment I am watching Downton Abbey... Loving it.. I never saw the first showing all those years back..

When Shaun sits at my kitchen table having a coffee he can see what is going on outside.. 
He raises his head when someone passes .. His eyes are always looking out.. 

Do you remember the days when women peeped behind the curtain or through the nets.. just to see what Dolly was up to next door.. and why Fred and Ethel were dressed up and going somewhere.. 
... and who is the telegram for..!!!!!!

I think it is a man thing now..  Men and CCTV cameras .. Like boys with toys...

Lifting the two children cap !!!

There was a woman on the TV today talking about the lifting of the two children cap..
She said she was struggling because of the cap..
She had SIX children..  :nooo:
What a bloody cheek... If she can't afford six children .. why have six children.. 
Ignorance at its very best..

My advise to her is ..
Put a cap on it..!!!

Quote from: Diasi on November 26, 2025, 07:32:37 AMI've never enjoyed Christmas as an adult but it's now the most dreadful time of the year.

I don't put up any decorations, nor do I put up any cards that I get.
I'm sorry that it's so sad for you.  It's a long day to get through on your own I'd imagine. 

We'll have cards up, and a small tree.  Most of our stuff is years old!  I like the twinkly coloured lights, they remind me of my childhood.  We rarely spend Christmas at home, if the roads are clear we head for our son's for a few days.  Our daughter has adult step children as well as her own, they'll have a house full.

Quote from: Diasi on November 26, 2025, 07:39:14 AMFor anyone who hasn't yet worked it out, it's nothing to do with speeding up trials, it's designed to stop a jury acquitting a person who pleads not guilty after being charged with posting comments on Facebook after an illegal immigrant rapes a schoolgirl.
Of course it is.  You'd imagine that Labour already has a number of lefty judges who would decide in favour of their favourite political party.
When they successfully manage to stop the use of juries for all but the most serious crimes, they can rely on their own left judges to make the 'right' decisions.
We'll be back in mediaeval days and, having seen films like Robin Hood, we're going to see some strong reactions, hopefully starting with the 'Sheriff of Westminster', who definitely needs his head removing.
