I find myself in a rather chilly North East where the weather outside is frightful 🎶❄️
Another week or so then back across to the Continent where I fully anticipate a Yuletide in shirt sleeves! 😎
Optimistically, I’m already booked up until March 2027, which is hopefully a wise plan!
Stay warm! 🥶

Morning all.
Monday, 17th November!
It’s beginning to look a lot like you-know-what round here, albeit the wrapping is still not complete.
The thing about doing it early is that you don’t have to panic last minute, so there are advantages.
There’ll be more shopping before Black Friday…

Yes, as we’ll be away in Spain this Christmas, all gifts have to be wrapped in November!
Next year, (to save me from tears 🎶!) we anticipate this performance inside the camper van…
Ho Ho Ho!

I’m going south of the Tees tomorrow to an area that used to be part of North Yorkshire, but is now Redcar & Cleveland or similar.
I believe that a lot of people that live there still consider themselves Yorkshire folk.
It was successive Tory governments that changed it, 1974 & 1996.

Been out in Jarrow today, Christmas shopping.
Bought several bits in every charity shop, (5 places I think), including contenders for the upcoming Worst Festive Attire competition(!)
Thinking of Yuletide on the Costa Blanca already…
Can’t wait!

Two of my DJ colleagues didn’t make it through last week, so a poignant Monday morning.
I find myself in the North East of the UK having made it successfully up part of the A1(M) yesterday.
I’m alive, and experiencing my first coffee of the day, so positive steps.
Make the most of it, guys!

I’ve just realised that I won’t be able to ride my motorcycle at all in November due to commitments in the UK…
This is fairly unusual as I keep monthly records of my two wheeled activities.
All is not lost though, because I’m taking the bike to Spain over Christmas and into the New Year! 😎

It’s raining.
Mid October, and I’m considering Christmas Day!
I often plan ahead, but this is unprecedented even for me.
Anyway, Feliz Navidad and all that.
For the first time in history… 🎶

I’ve started playing one of those games on the phone.
(I know, there are better ways to pass the time!)
The object is to drive various cars in the right direction to clear the board.
Sounds easy, but put in a time sensitive fire truck, an ambulance, & even a road sweeper…
Challenging!

Another overcast sky but the sun is on the way.
Probably true of life, that, as there’s always hope around the corner.
Whichever rut you find yourself in, there’s always a way forward.
I’m sourcing and wrapping gifts again today… how about you?
Have a good one, whatever your plan…

Happy Hump Day said someone.

A couple of imminent birthdays in the family. 🎂
Having said that, I need to get into Santa mode soon due to being abroad at Christmas. 🎅🏻

An overcast start here but lots to do.
Time for a free October flu jab for a start… 💉
Prevention being better than cure.
Enquire about a COVID injection whilst there…
You have to be proactive and go for these things.
Look after yourself as a way forward; you know it makes sense.

When transporting the Kawasaki inside the camper, the bed has to be reduced in width to single size, or settee.
We’ve made cushion covers and a valance today, as well as tidying up the memory foam bits, & I think the result is alright for DIY.
Of course, put up the table and it’s very cosy!

Not sure how that happened…
It’s also a granddaughter’s birthday (school!)

Life carries on, but

This time lark is a bit concerning sometimes.
Good job I’m not on the sauce like Captain Haddock!
