Oh my word! Gorgeous.

I've yet to manage an aesthetically pleasing tree since we had kids. They're all teenagers now but the tree is still messy.
I acquired a set of coloured non-leds, and until they die, I'm doing retro.

Me and my big sister agree. Also since we stopped adding home made paper lanterns.

Outdoor lights are up.

Youngest son is quoting some arbitrary rules about 1st December to me, but you can't pass up a dry, bright Sunday like that.

Plus whoever climbs the ladder makes the rules round here.

An opportunity to post one of my favourite book titles.

If i could, I'd buy this for the whole population for Christmas.
I understand many wouldn't thank me 😁 but finding it so, so interesting.

I wouldn't mind a wee bit but it's balmy in the east.

Intelligent and interesting debate, really enjoyed this at the Lyric.

(Probably makes no sense if your postcode doesn't begin with a BT.)

Me and my big sis.

My aunt has dropped off some old photos today.
Funny how the sight of a single item can instantly transport you back to your childhood.

A very fine late lunch at Tom's off the Cregagh Road.

It was strange enough when B&Q were suggesting I might like to buy a flagpole, but something has gone quite seriously wrong with their algorithm today.

Granda Johnnie and Granda Davy (and my gorgeous Granny Dugg).

Both my grandas were young soldiers, luckier than many because they returned and had families, but affected by WWII for the rest of their lives, physically and mentally.

Surprised myself at how many of these I've snaffled from the open bag, on the way through the kitchen.
Better than expected.

😍
Although I envy the wee table and chairs.

The kids out trick or treating make me smile, but Samhain is an altogether more interesting festival than the North American import. The thinning of the veil.

Still never doing a turnip again, it's murder on the arms.

Some items were banned from the new school on account if being old tech, although I know a history teacher who resisted and wheeled his over to his new classroom himself on its trolley.

Found a 20th century relic.

It's taking all my willpower.

10 weeks. Because ChatGPT told him to.

Change of pace this afternoon, because I've never seen it.

My soup pinnacle.
Cream of fennel, with crispy bacon.
