Mindful that OH has just been to the car to get the "emergency corkscrew" (No. I don't know why either), the time has come to wish you a very happy, peaceful and healthy new year.

Finally found the Bargain Wool Shop in Glasgow. Looking forward to much knitting and crocheting in the new year. #knitsky

Does anyone have a link to Scottish banter's Haggis Lag post that they can put up? It's pure genius.
I'd repost but don't have fb on my phone.

Ok. How many of you watched the Death in Paradise special without whistling the theme tune to the Great Escape at the end?

Not sure if this will open. I got it as a free link on a news round up. But, if this is the state of unionist thinking, then I hope the independently minded enjoy it.
Content warning: it's rabidly transphobic.

Christmas Eve. Time to dig out the Messiah and fire up the oven for the last bits of Christmas prep.

This is becoming a very very shameful episode - and a tragedy for these young and courageous people and their friends and families

The Union between Sweden and Norway (1814-1905) Norway peacefully dissolved it in 1905 to become fully independent. The sky didn't fall in, there was no plague of locus, no backstabbing, no lies...just two normal grown up countries, going their own way.

So, we used to have an 8ft tall tree which sat nicely in the conservatory but we moved to a smaller house and got something more in keeping...
For the knitters, yes that is genuine Sanquhar pattern sock.
A tiny Christmas tree sits on a beige stone hearth in front of fake coal fire with a brass grill. There are 2 red candles on either side of the tree and a rug in many shades of blue in front of the hearth.(there is a black shadow of a phone at the bottom of the photo.)The tree is decorated with red baubles, a red star and has multicoloured flashing lights. There is a tiny red stocking with a white Sanquhar pattern hanging from the tree.

From the experts. Doing ALT text properly.

Alt text advent, day two.

Smiling at alt text is our favourite. 🎁
A screengrab from the film, Elf. Buddy the Elf, played by Will Ferrell, is chugging a large bottle of Coca Cola at the dinner table – the full sugar kind – while being watched incredulously by a young boy with dark brown hair. Buddy wears a plush green elf jacket with fluffy white collar and cuffs, and a little green elf hat perched on the back of his head at a jaunty angle, despite clearly being well into his thirties. There is a look of total concentration on his face, as if he’s drinking to defend his honour. He and the boy are sitting in front of a fireplace in a very nice, festively decorated New York apartment. On the dinner table, there are plates of food, like spaghetti and a salad. Buddy is not interested in these. There is a Christmas tree shaped logo in the corner which says “Alt text advent” and the image is placed in a white border against a green background with falling snowflakes. This image shows off the lovely alt text from the previous image, to spread the accessible Christmas cheer. The alt text is placed in a text box against the same green, festive background. This image shows a continuation of the alt text from the first image, to spread the accessible Christmas cheer. The alt text is placed in a text box against the same green, festive background.

So watching another Hometown, on one of the less popular streaming. This will mean nothing to our cousins across the Pond or anymore under about 50 in the UK but the couple who are looking for a new home are Terry and June.
