Here it is!

What were we at 247?

Morning.

Wet here today and my sister is on the way up here to go and see A-ha tonight. It's meant to clear later so we shouldn't get wet!

I think the garden is appreciating the rain. The grass is particularly parched!

It's wet here too Fluffy so she's no worse off - I fact she's better off as she gets to see the lovely Morten.

Morning everyone
Lemon cheese sounds even more delicious than lemon curd, 70 yummy!
Ahhh Fluffy prapps that is what is wrong with my bread attempts
Your DSis will enjoy herself at the concert , l love take on me but l don't know any other songs really
Off up the parents then home to watch the football
Have a lovely Saturday everyone

Morning! Went to the Sainsbury's café, DS2 had a bitesize breakfast, I had smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. 😋🍳🐟

I'm going to the concert too!

Drying up now, thankfully.

Just had chicken in red wine and thyme sauce with potatoes in creamy garlic sauce for lunch. 😋🍷

Yes!!!!! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

I'd forgotten about Christmas in July. Don't loads of places have a sale then too?

Which reminds me, it must be time to dig out a Christmas card for that little boy Alexis. This will be year 3 from us. 😊🎅🎄

Our view at Blackpool FC!

Take on meeeee!

Enjoy Fluffy

Oh ........Morten (he's 58yo now , can he still strutt his stuff?)

QVC do Christmas in July, I used to book a day off work but the past few years have been a bit shit a let down , so I don't bother.

I need a tree this year. Last year we had a real one , the previous pre-lit went to Tree Heaven .

Try www.werchristmas.co.uk for a tree. Ours is lovely for the price we paid.

Morten is on at 20.45. I'll update later on yumminess! OMD now!

Shit, I'm old. Morten's 58?????

Had pulled pork burritos for supper, DS2 crashed out on our bed at 7.20! 😂

Morten is still hot though! 😱😁 Old enough to be my dad though! 😂

I'm really old.

Morten Horten Forten Harket (as Smash Hits used to call him!).

DSis went to see Bruce Springstein (he's 68 !) and she said he did a brilliant show (couple of years ago but I bet he's still rockin' )

IIRC DBro saw OMD and said they were brilliant , good lightshow.

I listen to Heart 80s at the gym, tales me back >

I asked DH about trees from the website (a lot are sold out though so I'll keep checking back)
He said he "wasn't thinking about Christmas" as he tried to download The Walking Dead (I'd asked him if we could fit a 6' + stand+topper)

I really need to trade him in don't I ? He's watching 'Breaking Bad'.

Slightly scared to ask this but who is Morten?

Front singer for A-Ha

He used to wear a lot of leather thin straps on his wrists and their 'Take On Me' video with the pencil sketch animation with the live action overlap was Innovative I tell you

I remember watching it at the pub in 1985/86 IIRC (I was 19yo) on the big telly ................................... I am Officially Ancient

I burned 800 calories at the gig! I'm knackered!

191

Home and in bed now. Too wired to sleep!

Thanks gigg :) Currently watching Stickman with DS to give DH a lie in. Does it count as a Christmas film as it has Santa in?
