Compromise for daughter putting up with West Ham v Arsenal beforehand. Arsenal, her brother's team, won 5-1.
Just finished listening to Leeds vs Villa.
I'm a Leeds fan and we've had a pretty torrid time the last few years, but better this year and now fourth in the table after a 2-0 win.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):)

It's not too late join in with the cards if you want to!
I wish! I just always seem to run out of my hours. Every day of every week. When i first joined in I was still recovering from 2 big surgeries on my R leg, couldn't walk, couldn't drive, had lots of time on my hands, couldn't work or do much in my house. Then my leg healed (almost!) and I got a job and didn't take long bfr i was in full swing, just not nearly as efficient as I've been which is frustrating, but I'm grateful for everything i have so really can't complain. I haven't had the time to do the cards in several years. Used to send out around 100 of them (or little over) and loved doing it. It was part of my getting into the christmas spirit. I love all about the cards, the colors, the messages on them, the fact that people took time to remember me... I just know I am not going to be able to reciprocate so few years ago told my friends and family out of town that the best/only way to keep in touch now and for next few yrs (till my kids become more independent) is either via email, phone, text message, whats app, fb messenger, which are ones that have proven to work well for me. One of these days I'll join in all the fun, calendar contest, card/gift exchange etc until then I'll be present in spirit amongst you Guys:)

Miss you, too, Cousin! :)
Thanks for popping by, glad to hear you're well, if rather busy.
Raining here, too, but we need it.
Have a great weekend yourself and try to visit again soon.
Your armadillo has been missing you, as well.
Hey Cousin! I've been around long enough to see your reply and to reply to it!!!! How about that???!!! Thanks for your understanding, Adam. I'm getting ready for work now. Only one client, but then the rest if the weekend on my computer, bleeeehhhh!!!! I need to pick up speed on documentation, and it's coming, slowly. I just don't like to "cut corners", you know: "doing the 1/2a**job" is not something I have been good at for 50 yrs so it's a habit. On the other hand being thorough and assuring good follow through means keeping patients safe...anyway, Dear Cousin, I'll be popping in and out meanwhile if anyone needs to contact me or ask question just do it on my private phone/text, chat, email.

Quite right.
If a job's worth doing it's worth doing well.
But probably tomorrow.;)
Will stay in touch, and look forward to your popping. :)

If you would like to receive a card then just let me have your address. I don't expect ANYTHING in return, but I do have a rather nice card specially created for TFO (and a USA stamp because I bought too many by mistake :( ) going spare and I'd love you to have it :)

I love your card too @Yvonne G. I just need to know the American names for the birds... I see some sort of t i t (swear filter spacing) and a kind of woodpecker, but the bird-watcher in me says they must be based on real ones :)

Lovely! My guess, going clockwise is: Ladder backed Woodpecker (yes, that's a real bird name), Nuthatch (they can run up and down tree trunks as if it was ground!), House Wren and bottommost may be a Chickadee. I, too, am a bird lover!:)

Good evening, Bea!
Woodpeckers are different in the UK , though there are several species and I've not seen one here.
The nuthatch is much the same. very shy birds.
And the wren also, more common than the nuthatch but quite difficult to spot.
Lots of types of t i ts in the UK.
I love birds, too.:)
