Good Morning Everyone? What's everyone up to for Boxing Day?

[lucysmam]

I'm in my kitchen spot, have been here a while now, browsing my new books (Murdle and Merry Midwinter), making notes for next year before I forget, and scrolling t'interweb.

I've done a load of bedding washing (dd2 put her new stuff on yesterday), and am getting up to wash up the few pots there are in a mo.

Today is party food & leftovers picky day so I'll pop the oven on for the few extra bits I've got to cook & get dressed while it warms up.

Once they're cooked it's "help yourself to what you want" and mostly a day of chilling doing not much. I'm not good at doing nothing so will pick up one of my many crafty projects or my books again until I get ready for Panto later on.

What about all of you? 🎄

Happy 50th Ginger

Got to the seals missmarple

piscofriscohappy birthday to your DD and DH

It's not a holiday here (visiting family in US) so everything is open. We spent the morning doing a bit of tidying from yesterday and then my dd really wanted to go to a charity shop (called thrift store here). She made out like a bandit! Three blazers (one tweed, one corduroy, one velvet), two jumpers, two skirts, two boots, two shoes, and a leather (real!) jacket. For about £80!!!! She's going for the Ali MacGraw 70s vibe. My son spent over two hours at the gym trying to work off the excesses of yesterday.
Then a few chores now home expecting guests for dinner so starting to tidy/prep for that.

@MrsFloof Thanks for posting the pictures. I still remember the haunting unworthy sound that they made. I can see how the myths about sirens calling sailors onto rocks came about.

Thank you for the birthday wishes @MrsMurphyIWish 😘💕
