Sick Bed Blues

 Chris has been unwell in bed for much of the day

Sore throat and a heavy cold

I have renamed him, Violet,

Dowager, Countess of Grantham for the day!

It seems apt

His throat does look somewhat swollen

But at lunchtime he has managed to force down,

2 large pieces of gruyere cheese quiche, a side salad,

One large bowl of curry soup

And a massive slab of Christmas cake

So I suspect he'll pull through....

Hey ho

Is it me?

But

Can anyone else identify 

with this,

Last walk of the night is around 9pm

I couldn't be arsed getting redressed

( I'd just had a  bath and liberal rubbing with Vic's)

So I donned an overcoat over pajamas 

Slipped my very fetching Kit Hopkins' hand made slippers Inside 

my crocs and tottered out into the night like a very badly dressed transvestite 

Apologies to community Council member Paul

who caught me in full glare of the headlights of his Land Rover
in the lane.

The red Pom poms on the slippers are a standout

Trelawnyd Carol Service

It's a bit of a local blog entry today as I promised I would big up the village carol service which takes place this Friday night at the Church. I am working that night so won't be going, but I am calling all Trelawnyd folk to make the effort on these cold dark night and attend.
The congregation will be using our slow cooker to keep the mulled wine warm ,
I have already been reminded to make sure there is no remnants of chilli con carne on the inside of it! ...as there was last year!
Everyone's a critic!

Normality

I'm feeling just a little middle aged

It's the product of being over tired
Tonight

Just as Darcy Bussell started crying on Strictly Come Dancing

Winnie started masturbating on Chris' foot
He went all a bit Miss Prim

And life suddenly went all a bit surreal...

I'm glad I didn't get the Christmas decs sorted

It would have felt all a bit wrong

I am off to bed......tomorrow will feel a whole lot 

More.......well.......

Normal after more than 2 hours sleep
Hey ho

Twinkly Light Therapy

 I need a bit of Christmas cheer today. Extra shift this week on intensive care took me to bed exhausted this morning and I've just cooked a chicken dinner for Chris when he returned from Church only to be reminded that he and the congregation have gone off to the Crown Pub for their yearly Christmas lunch.
So it's curried chicken for supper me thinks
I think I will start to decorate the cottage this afternoon
Twinkly light therapy......that's the answer to the night shift blues
I may even take my  yearly New York snow globe photo amid the fairy lights

The last couple of years....the photos have turned out very well.

Lunch?

I'm such a slovenly old git

In between jobs

I popped in to the macdonald's drive in

And bought a small fries and a cheeseburger
( I didn't eat breakfast...just coffee!)

That was at 11.50 am

After that I bought coal

Collected animal feed

Bought petrol

Walked the dogs

Called in to see my great niece who had designed some stationary for chris 

And completed the week's shop in tesco's

Only then did the overly cheerful checkout girl 

Point out that a macdonald's chip 

was firmly stuck on the front of my scarf

( complete with ketchup)

No Place Like Gnome

This arrived in the post today

An early Christmas pressie from an Australian buddy!

A  zombie garden gnome

I've seen everything

Hey ho

Sometimes.......

.....we all need a fat arse upon which we can rest our weary head
