When you woke up, did you check it was still in the garage? 942 680 I don't have a garage, but it was definitely in my parking space!

942 678 Pat has just been booked in for a knee operation on Christmas Eve. It means she will be in hospital on Christmas Day. Pat's delighted because it means she won't have the stress of cooking a large complicated meal. However... I need an urgent course in cookery

I tried one once. Tomato soup. It took me half a day to buy the ingredients and 45 minutes to prepare for cooking. I abandoned it and opened a can instead. I vowed never again to attempt anything that couldn't be bought in a can or packet.

I just booked my tickets to France for my daughter's wedding in March. I hope the travel restrictions have calmed down by then.

Considering the idea of flying over water scares me a bit. I am never ready to try that.

942 680 Yeah, only one more week. For the first time in my entire life, we don't have anything planned. I'm still waiting on the Christmas cards I ordered to come in so I can send them. They're never ever going to get to the final recipients on time *sigh*

942 661 Yeah, full lockdown, but fortunately daycare is exempted. We were already joking that my holidays are pretty much indicative of full lockdowns: every time I had a holiday the past 2 years a lockdown would be announced right before.

Apparently, if you lie in bed all day, you'll catch pneumonia, according to one of the nurses. O-k-a-y.

942 653 Ugh no, not knitting So ... no exercise, only eating ... and it's pneumonia they are worried about? Something like that. I'm very proud of myself today, I mended a friend's boiler... by switching it off and on again. But to do that I had to switch off the mains supply in the meter cupboard.
