Congratulations to teenage boffin Cameron who had just passed his driving test.
I need to book him to cottage sit when I go up to Sheffield next month, I hope he can make it as Mrs Trellis is my next bet and the dogs will run circles around her.
She's no disciplinarian
Sheffield will be a hug to my heart.....for as well as the hospital reunion Im arranging to meet old friends Mike, Bev, Jane, John, Kath and Vince.....2018 I let things lapse with them

Trendy Carol, ( nice hair new jacket) dropped me a late Christmas gift of miniature gins yesterday. Her Terrier was on the same medication as William so it was a thank you for me passing it all over to her.
"Gorgeous Dave "from Samaritans has just called wanting a catch up and I've arranged to meet up with him on Saturday for a drink which will be nice...I told him I needed to pull myself out of my Yuletide funk and he agreed......I m going to see if village elder Islwyn could give me a lift so I can have a small Sherry! I'm sure he will....
It's my turn to book some theatre for the affable despot, Jason and I to go to and choir starts next week which will be fun....our choirmaster wants to take us all to a big joint sing in London this year!
How fantastic is that?
My friend Greta has promised me a night out of gossip too...after my night shift ...she's on!
Grabs bra straps and pulls!

Now you're talking. Get out there and mingle it will lift your spirits. When you start to take note you have lots of friends out there for company. I'm so pleased to hear it.
ReplyDeleteIt's like the Winnie Show! I've just noticed she's up now between Nu & Mary on your sidebar. So much going on in the village already and it's only the first week of Jan!
ReplyDeleteVery, very glad to hear that your heart is being hugged.
ReplyDeleteYour of to a great start John your calendar will be full in mo time.
ReplyDeleteThe plaque on the bench made me laugh.
Thanks John! Let me know when you need me
ReplyDeleteYAYZ for cameron! leave the telly on; we leave the radio on for the cats when we are at work.
ReplyDeleteI love that park bench memorial.
ReplyDeleteThere is an interesting story behind it
Deletewe have neighbors who used to leave the TV on for their cat when they left the house; otherwise, the cat would trash the place....
ReplyDeleteGlad you're filling up your dance card.
I always leave the TV on for the gang even if they do not watch. It is turned on the the fix it channel.
ReplyDeleteThinking that they listen to it, I keep hoping they learn how to fix the driveway but so far no luck.
cheers, parsnip
Watching TV with Winnie sounds like fun. Rest well.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea who Roger Bucklesby is but I LOVE that plaque!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've got some good fun lined up already for January! And congrats to the Teenage Boffin -- watch out world!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Cameron; a license (and a car) put the world at one's disposal :)
ReplyDeleteThat plaque is hilarious!
And if you find your glasses missing, check under Winnie . . .
My cat loves Bake Off. I think she's enamored of Paul Hollywood
ReplyDeleteI thought I had the world by it's tail when I finally got my license! Way to go, Cameron! But be safe! Lots to do on your list, John! Great fun is headed your way! Singing in London sounds spectacular! Winnie may outgrow us all and become even more of a diva...
ReplyDeleteI am waiting for Winnie to whip up a batch of curries for you all :)
ReplyDeleteThere has been such rubbish on TV over Christmas, etc, that I've also reverted to Rick Stein in India. A breath of fresh air, and the food looks wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteHere's to old friends, new friends, new drivers, trendy neighbors, beloved dogs, dog sitters, and a calendar that is filling up with good stuff!
ReplyDeleteWonder what upset Mr. Bucklesby about the park?
Hugs!
Oh I would be to be in winter again! It's too bloody hot here!
ReplyDeleteThings are on the up for you John. We leave the tv on for our dog when we go out.
ReplyDeleteWinnie will stay up all night ! We've been watching Luther, scarey stuff which the puppy sleeps through.
ReplyDeleteLots to look forward to John x
Ha-ha! I loved the brass plaque on that bench. If you kippered what would you want on your memorial bench plaque?
ReplyDeleteThat bench plaque made me smile, as do your plans.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteThe memorial plaque is fantastic!!
Sounds like things are looking up. It is good to have plans. x
ReplyDeleteI used to leave the TV on for our old boy if I popped out, I am sure he was more calm than if the house was completely still and silent; being ludicrously risk averse I made sure it was plugged in via one of those RCD things you’re meant to use in the garden :-)
ReplyDeleteWay to go John - get out there and just do it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWinnie is amazing - next she'll be reviewing TV shows and posting here!
Love you all in the village - wish I lived there too. Goodness knows what you'd write about me! I make good scones, great trifles, and a 'to die for' apple tart - remember my dear mum was named Gladys!
Perhaps this will be the year we cross the pond to visit my old flame in Prestatyn - I know you're close by so may we stop by for a visit please? Will let you know in advance of course, no surprises with you thinking we are odd Americans on your doorstep!
Happy New Year dear John - Mary (still a true Brit despite the American accent!)
It would be delightful to see u
DeleteThank you so much John - will let you know if we make it your way.
DeleteHugs - Mary
I'm glad you have so much going on and your support network is so wide. You are a fortunate man!
