I’m late blogging today
A hard shift yesterday
An early night and a day in the library yet again .
My essay is in though, and I’m pleased.
This week is another mixture of work, college and village
Two nights at work, college all day tomorrow with a recorded counselling skills practice to film and send in, and on Saturday it’s one of the/last set pieces for the TCA this year and that’s the Christmas Fayre
My Mr Bumble Victorian outfit had been ordered a while ago and should be delivered by Wednesday and Bridget hits that we have a snow machine ordered !!! Which should be fun.
A couple of the TCA lads ( lads!!! Older than me)
Climbed up the village green trees to hang fairly lights in preparation
Very festive.
ReplyDeleteIt’s getting there don’t you think ? Must be the temperature drop
DeleteI can picture it all! You'll have to practice booming "MORE?" a la Harry Secombe. xx
ReplyDeleteI’m only a baby boomer
DeleteI absolutely love Christmas markets, large or small, love them all. Yours will be perfect. Glad you are getting all your assignments ticked off. You have so much on your plate! Gigi
ReplyDeleteI’ve not supported the TCA as much as I could since I’ve been in college but that’s life
DeleteStart practicing your Noddy Holder.
ReplyDeleteI hate that song
DeleteI would say the lads, once they are up there, should have most of the battle whipped.
ReplyDeleteWill love seeing you and all the costumed characters, please. The town has come alive with a little nudge and post covid fervor !
I’ve observed this too since covid finished
DeleteEveryone seems to have grabbed life by the balls so to speak
It's suddenly sounding like Christmas. I don't know about you, but I'm so glad that essay is done.
ReplyDeleteIt was getting on my tits too Mitchell
DeleteFar too much air time xxx lol
I helped all day at it our Xmas Church festival last week - I enquired " Where's the snow machine" (we always have snow floating down outside the Church) - " health and safety " the lady replied x 🎄
ReplyDeleteI’m sure Bridget will be bringing ours out ..she’s a devil
DeleteCheers that your essay is finished!! How about the poster?
ReplyDeleteThe Christmas Daire sounds delightful and I hope someone will take a photo of you in your costume - please?!
I'm playing my Mannheim Steamroller Christmas Cs and will get my Christmas mugs sown tomorrow.
Do please leave yourself time to relax and to sleep.
Hugs!
Yes I have an academic poster, and two presentations to go before Christmas
DeleteThe fayre sounds delightful, how festive and fun. A snow machine and a Victorian outfit too, perfect.
ReplyDeleteWell let’s see if it works …lol
DeleteCongratulations on getting your essay done! Nothing like a mature student for organization and diligence! I also join the voices calling for lots of Christmas Faire pictures!

Is the pope catholic ?
DeleteIf he is, and I'm not so sure, he certainly makes a habit of skating on thin ice (to use a seasonal analogy).
DeleteI can't wait to see you as Mr Bumble 🤣 !!!!! Is anyone being Mrs Bumble ? XXXX
ReplyDeleteI’m a spinster remember x
DeleteThis sounds like fun! Iove the poster, food and beer listed first.. Priorities right again.
ReplyDeleteI don’t drink during the day, I think, for this I’ll make an exception
DeleteIt is starting to feel like Christmas everywhere. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLet’s hope so
DeleteThe poster looks great and I love the idea of a Dickensian market.
ReplyDeleteI also hate the Noddy Holder song but love Greg Lake’s
The chance of the memorial hall looking like a dickens scene is remote , but chapel street next to it will be closed. And all the buildings are pre Victorian
DeleteThe Christmas Fayre sounds like so much fun! You MUST post a photo of yourself in your Victorian outfit!
ReplyDeleteWill do deArheart
DeleteNice to have you back John
ReplyDeleteYou havent enough hours in a day do you?
I envy your grasp on life

DeleteTina in west oz. Beautiful tree! I've been practicing Merry Little Christmas to sing with my (usually pop song) choir for a Christmas Choir bash, and am finding it makes me very sad. My mum has advanced dementia and this is the first year we decided we can't do family christmas with her taken away from the home. It's been hard for a few years now, so am relieved, but also, that song.... if the fates allow.
ReplyDeleteYou will have a grand time and like the others, I want to see photos of you in your costume. We have snow here so it helps get the Christmas spirit moving! :)
ReplyDeleteOh - - -
ReplyDeleteI want to see what you look like in a frock coat and top hat carrying a cane.
ReplyDeleteDirty boy x
DeleteSo satisfying when an essay is completed.
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas Fayres and even more if Dickensian!
Your Dickensian Christmas Fayre sounds wonderful! I hope it is to quote a phrase 'A Merry Christmas to One and All!
ReplyDeleteIf your Mr Bumble costume doesn't arrive, just go in your ordinary clothes. No one will spot the difference.
ReplyDeleteNearing the end of the semester (term) with much accomplished. Who said that about old dogs and new tricks.
ReplyDeleteGlad your course sounds to be going well. Christmas still seems a long way off but our lights here in the Market Placee are up and running.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the poster. If that doesn't get people in, nothing will. I wish I could come - it al sounds so exciting.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do want to see pictures of this fayre. As well as pictures of Mr. Bumble!
ReplyDeleteOk xx
DeleteYour poster turned out well.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about not passing your course, it's a paid course and you're guaranteed to pass! They need passes to go through to get recommendations for the courses, I've worked for such a private company and all were guaranteed to pass! Fails wouldn't look good for the company.
Not guaranteed to pass , not guaranteed to finish, the group ahead of us has lost 12 students
DeleteSome people choose to drop out. If you stay the course and submit the work you'll pass. This applies to paid courses and private companies.
