Hi folks!

I often find myself advising newbies to pace their activities, ensure they have a rest day in between engagements etc. in order to conserve some precious energy.

Could`ve done with taking that advice myself this week. Because this morning I felt like a very soggy,wet lettuce!

And in the old days, this weeks events wouldnt have put the slightest dent in my stamina!

So what have i been up to, I hear you ask?

Tuesday, it was my staff Christmas lunch…2 lovely lasses , me and one of their hubbys joined us. It was lovely. I wanted to try a port and lemon, which Id heard was a nice drink. So I did and yeh! it`s lovely. The meal was really good.

Wednesday was my Chit Chat`s Christmas party. Oh it as good fun! Me and the other pensioners(OMG I really AM an OAP!) were treated to a panto, carol singing, raffles and jokes.We munched on festive fodder and drank Bucks Fizz!

The highlight was when Santa arrived…he let me tug on his beautiful silky beard…wasnt I a lucky girl! He gave us each a pressy, which Im saving for the big day.

Then yesterday was a shopping day. The town looked lovely, bedecked in Christmas delights and me and my carer Bev, shopped till we dropped. My ankles felt so cold, they would fall off…wouldnt that be strange…

there`s my thighs, knees, calves…a big gap…and then me feet!!! Hahahaha!

Have a good evening and if your`re watching the Strictly final…who do you want to win?

For me, it`s that gorgeous man Danny Mac! He can twirl me in my wheelie anytime he wants to!

You are a party animal. And a flirt. (Fancy pulling Santas beard, I bet when you were able you were the first to sit on his knee!). Happy days Poll, I’m glad you’ve enjoyed this week, now have a nice quiet weekend of recovery before the festivities recommence next week!

No. These days, I only watch the News at 10, The papers and sometimes News Night.

I read the newspapers and follow a few blogs and do some online courses: drawing, art history… etc.,

I found a nice online book archive too, so I read these at bed time.

Here’s a free drawing book I found:

So this fills up my time - messing around with paint and pencils.

I find the BBC has become like Blue Peter. A bit boring.

I do watch stuff on facebook - I followed the Trump rally speeches live, as he went from state to state.

I suppose that was a kind of game show though.
