Treats

 


I thought I’d share Kelda’s latest village based video
It shows Trelawnyd in its full winter’s if brief best.
Last night I met up with Gorgeous Dave and we went for a meal at the Erskine hotel in Conway. (another treat). We sat and talked for two and a half hours and had some lovely food. 
After Uni today, I’m meeting my family for dinner at the Dinorban Arms which is treat two this week.
Tomorrow is treat three with an early doors meet with Chic Eleanor. 

I’ve  bought her a metal wren for Christmas .

    Sounds like a sweet week. You're a very lucky person. I love the too-brief video and the music. She has such a warm smile and immediately likeable face.

      She’s a delightfully warm character like a young Margaret Rutherford

    Make sure you get scrubbed up, tuck your shirt in and spray some "Lynx Africa" all over your corporal temple before the date with Chic Eleanor.

    How do you do it? 84 comments on your last post. I don't know what an early doors meet means, but I am sure Chic Eleanor will love your tin bird gift. She'll have just the place for it.

    Enjoy your time with your family today John. Trelawnyd looks cold, blustery and biting in it's Winter coat but invigorating and energising. XXXX

    I went to see “Godzilla Minus One” on your rec—loved it! A classic monster movie …with a modern understanding of humans (the hero’s PTSD).
    Someone had asked previously—“Minus One” is meant to refer to Japan being at its lowest point (zero)— betrayed and demoralized.
    But they rally, as (we hope) we can too…

      Early doors is the time people go to the pub early in the day . Anything from late afternoon to say seven pm.
      Early doors people are on the way home when most pub goers are off out

      It’s also the title of a lovely sit com from 2003
      An ensemble piece set in a Manchester pub
