It seems we're not getting any changes on AB 'til after xmas so I've set up a grotto for us. Sorry it's a bit like a scene from Great Expectations but I've sprayed a few cobwebs silver & blown the dust off me doileys so please come in & sit down.
What do all the biddies/grumps want to find in their wrinkly stockings this year then? Do you like all this festivity or will you be the grumpy gran/grandpa from hell this year?
Please feel free to take a present out of the bran tub as you leave by the way. Contents may be unidentifiable....oops sorry...be varied.

Just got back from the sea. Son parked the car on the beach at a delightful North Norfolk beauty spot and whilst he played with the dogs I just sat with the car window opened enjoying the peace and the tinkling sound that the moored yachts make. Noone else was around and the scenery was breathtaking - the sun being a huge orange ball and casting a wonderful light over the sea and the marshes.

Life somehow seems a lot better for that trip out, which put things in more perspective!! And to top it all, came back and had Green and Blacks Cocoa topped with fresh whipped cream and viennese slices. And the icing on the cake was to have a good giggle again on this thread. Thanks everybody.

P.S. The cakes were not floating on the cocoa!! They were served separately.

Hi all I'm back. Had a very quiet day and eating a bit better now. A Youngs frozen admiral's pie cos I couldn't be bothered cooking and a slice of toast and some fruit. I hope I'm on the mend. Had to ring in work but they were ok. (They had no option)!

Gessoo Your trip sounded lovely and I'm glad you felt good.

Robinia The weather has been quite nice round here hasn't it just a bit 'nippy' but it was good to see the sun for a change.

When I log on I go to the last page and back track. I write down the last post when I log off. Today I had to go back to 1155. But I really had a laugh - thanks and Gessoo's picture by the beach was brill!

[gessoo]

Thank you Netti. I wish I looked that glamourous.

and Forgive me Ed for the following, for I have sinned, but this is a story about Netti and I on the beach:

There was this guy called Vinny who really took care of his body. He lifted weights and jogged 6 miles every day. One morning he looked in the mirror and was admiring his body and noticed that he was suntanned all over, with the exception of his ***** which he readily decided to do something about.

He went to the beach, completely undressed and buried himself in the sand, except for his ***** which he left sticking out!

Netti and Gessoo were strolling along the beach, Gessoo using a cane. Upon seeing the 'thing' sticking out of the sand, she began to move it around with her cane, remarking to Netti.

"There really is no justice in this world."

Netti said, "what do you mean?"

Gessoo said, "Look at that. . . When I was 20 I was curious about it; when I was 30 I enjoyed it; when I was 40 I asked for it; when I was 50 I paid for it; when I was 60 I prayed for it; when I was 70 I forgot about it, and now that I'm 80 the damn things are growing wild--and I'm too old to squat!"

With many apologies and I await being banned!!!!!

[Jude123]

Robinia. Got my gas mask at the ready! :o)

[Robinia]

lol gessoo - I've spluttered my vienetta everywhere

Ed leaves Tiddles in charge of the biddygrotto thread

eek

[Robinia]

Hi Jude glad you're feeling better too - when I've not been well I usually have a 'cod-in-slop' day. I've got some nice cool fresh mint Vienetta if you want some.... :-)

[Jude123]

Sounds delicious Robinia Chuck it over here. It'll probably land here with one lob!!!

[gessoo]

I don't like Icecream!!! I must be alone, so I don't want any of your Viennetta girls. Glad you are feeling better too Jude. I must admit Mashed potato and steamed fish is one of my favourite comfort foods when I haven't been well.

But tonight, guess what it will be,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, yes,

Tinned Tomatoes on toast with bacon again!!!!

[Robinia]

thought it would be sausage and mash gessoo ;-)

[Jude123]

I see we're on Whitehall 1212! anybody remember that? :o)

[Jude123]

Well we were a minute ago!! he! he!

[netibiza]

We've just eaten Hunt-the-lamb stew (where I've stewed the bone of a roast leg - not much meat to speak of) and dumplings, and I've just finished a whole bag of marshmallows and feel sick. Am going to cuddle up by the fire and read magazines.

[gessoo]

I am curious. How many sausages is it normal to eat with sausage and mash? Glad you enjoyed your hunt the lamb stew Netti. Quite spring like here in Norfolk today, am wearing a T-Shirt and joggers this evening and feel really warm.

[Robinia]

what mag's are they then neti ? make sure you bring them in here when you've done - don't fill all the puzzles in with rude words & don't rip the knitting patterns out. I'd got half way with a teacosy & the rest of it was missing last month.

nope sorry jude I don't remember that - I'm here under false pretences I'm only 36.......

[Robinia]

just the one if it's a donkey's plonker gessoo but if it's Co-Ops economy you'll need the whole packet

hahaha - am I gonna get away with that....???

[Jude123]

Robinia I'm sure it used to be the number of the police in London in one of those police programmes way back when!!

If you're 36 I'm........ well we wont go into that...... :o)
