A day of highlights, like getting back to my mini strolls and meeting neighbours I haven't met in ages. But the biggest highlight was meeting this guy!

I'm following this thread with interest!
Not only will I not tell you what I weigh I won't even stand on the scales to find out!🤣
I ve been injured since last May so my faves: swimming/dancing/walking/pilates are out 🙈
I can do small bits though. No excuses!
Will check out YouTube videos when I can!

Our current Book Club read.
Approx 300 pages to read by Friday morning.
One chapter in and so far I have to say it seems, well, simply...... marvellous!
That'll help make the reading speedy.....right?! 📚

#journorequest looking to talk to people in Ireland who are planning something exciting/fabulous/unusual for 2024. DM if any thoughts. Shares appreciated.

Oh. I thought I'd lost my account but I see that I am still here!
Excellent 😊

Another sign that 'Tis the season!
A tradition of mine.
Usually includes a bar of Frys Chocolate Cream.
Instead I had to make do with a bar of Butlers Caramel.
I mean, the sacrifices I make! 😋

That doesn't sound good that it wasn't drinking. Shouldn't be so.
We get ours through a family connection. We get them to shave off a bit at the bottom.
Elsewhere for next year's tree?
Sooo disappointing for you.
I'd be devastated!!xx

valod.bsky.social @valod.bsky.social · Dec 12

Well, I did only buy it yesterday!!🤣
Your poor tree...I hope it recovers! 🤞🤞🌲
Did you feed it 7Up& water?
Haven't bought ours yet, for fear of same thing happening.
Hopefully will get this weekend.

Christmas is coming!
Can I keep this alive long though.....?🤔🙈

Wonka is released this weekend. I've given it 5 🌟
I've often been asked what it would take for me to give a fim 5 🌟? Well now you know.
Here's my review. I urge you to go see it. Bring the family. It is a tonic for these times.

Wonka - "Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination"

5 out of 5 Ever since Gene Wilder brought Roald Dahl’s iconic character to life, legions of fans have been captivated by his sugar-coated world of pure imagination. There’s just something alluring...

No matter how good the opening couple dance it's hard to get 10s it seems.
Always seem to mark low every week
