Glad to hear it, well anything from you, was getting worried for a moment, not the first time a member has suddenly stopped posting.

I did most of my shopping online a couple of weeks ago. Friday is our getting all the food day at Waitrose, can't face it on a Sat or Sun.

I've been on perpetual jet lag for the last month. Im lucky i can even remember how to type.

four transatlantic round trips in four weeks and my age is showing for sure as i dont remember it being this hard just a few years ago.

A dirty martini and fried calamari certainly isn’t a bad way to cope at all! Looks wonderful.

My coping process involves visiting Santa right off the bat. No, not to sit on his lap...but to watch the kiddies in line and then how they relate to the jolly one. The spirit of the season will warm the cockles of even a hardened heart.

That’s the best therapy prior to diving into the crowded shops. It lasts about an hour and then time to recharge the warmth battery or head for the door.

Thank God for Amazon, and my better half. She does all the shopping, makes it easy for me as I can't stand malls.
