I appreciate the Birthday wishes, it's been a busy day. On Christmas morning we received a phone call from my wife's sister that her Mother passed away in her sleep. Today way her viewing, it's been a rough day for my wife and sisters. My Mother Inlaw is in a better place, she has been dealing with Dementia for many years. Will celebrate my birthday another day.
My condolences to your family. 🙏

So sorry for your family's loss. Dementia is a terrible illness and probably a blessing that she isn't suffering anymore and went peacefully, but it's still a sad time and seems even more poignant at Xmas. My Dad died on Xmas Eve and every Xmas since has been tinged with sadness, so my thoughts are with you all but especially your wife and her sister.

Good morning/afternoon all.
Another very wet and windy day here.
Lola has been out and eaten quite a lot. He's also had a nice long warm soak which he stretched out and relaxed in. What a life he has!

I keep forgetting we're not just at the end of another week but at the end of another year - 2022 has flown by! Most of my family have covid so tomorrow will be a quiet night. My nephew has asked if he can come to my house which surprised me because last year he wanted to stay in his own home. I don't mind though, we'll have something to eat and just have a quiet night to see in the New Year. Any in the CDR doing anything special?

I'll be home as usual. I need to get out tomorrow and buy a New Year dinner. Joe will wake me up right before midnight to ring in the New Year. 😁😉So it will be our usual New Year tradition.

Wife and I got out and played tennis today at it was beautiful-sunny 67 degrees with a light breeze so very unwinterlike!
Yes. I should be happy that it's warm and unwinterlike. But I'm not. It's winter and I expect some bad weather. At least we got one deep freeze. Now it's spring like for a few days. What's a bird to do?

I was alone for Christmas but plan to be alone , drunk and watching channel 7 on New Year’s Eve waiting impatiently for Duran Duran to play in the rain.

A new one.
I was given a “Coquito” for Christmas by a gentleman from work…

I am so sorry for your loss,

This is a tuff one. Parents… it sucks I know first hand but on Christmas it must have been extra sucky. Again I am soo sorry for your loss but you will be in my prayers tonight and I’m the future.. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

So sorry to hear about your dad Lyn.
Even though my dad went in July, Christmas is still hard without him. He made my Christmases some of the happiest times of my life..

Rose and I are going to party. There won't be much drinking going on, but there will be plenty of Philippine cuisine. 😀

Yes my Dad loved Xmas and having the house filled with kids and grandkids. He wouldn't want us to be sad but we can't help remembering. We also remember all the lovely times my Mum and Dad gave us. They didn't have a lot of money but they made sure we had presents and were well fed and most importantly had lots of love and laughter together.

That's a shame I wonder what's causing that? I only use my laptop so I'm no help as far as phones are concerned. I hope you can sort it out as we miss you too!!! 😘

I have my nephew coming to my house this evening so we'll probably watch a mixture of Jools Holland's Hootenanny (which was recorded about a month ago :D) and the live fireworks from London 🎆 I hope it's drier for them than it is here.
I won't be drinking any alcohol as I'll have to drive him home. I'll have a glass of something when I get back though just to toast in 2023.

I hope everyone enjoys their evening be it quiet or something livelier. :<3:

Good morning/afternoon all
It's another very soggy day here with yellow warnings in place for rain most of the day - I'm keeping a close eye on my leak!
I hope you all enjoy your last day of 2022 - time to get the new calendars out!
See you all later!!
