I must make the effort and get along to Brooklands one of these years . Alan Morgan normally goes but he has man flu.

Sue and I did our usual and went and joined the throngs in Mojacar square with the fireworks off the church roof and free Cava and grapes at midnight. We then went to the Jazz Café and watched a band until 3am. I had to get up to film the Charity swim in the sea down the road on the Playa that I put on my Site for the locals.
Although the water at this time of year is warmer than the UK it was still pretty nippy ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXP40fgbPXM Some of them obviously watched it as it's had 400 views !! |

HNY all, I was asleep on the sofa by half ten! In my defence we started partying at 4pm with scalextric and pale ale.

If we are going to be kicking those shoes off may I request that people change their socks at least once a week, please?

I put a clean pair on everyday. By the end of the week I can't get my shoes on.

Before criticizing a man, walk a mile in his shoes. Then when you do criticize him, you're a mile away and you've got his shoes.

Peter, do you have a book of those sayings somewhere?
I know it's almost possible to do justice to a Rainbow by photographing one, but an hour or so ago I chanced on an absolute beaut- complete hoop as well. Didn't find a pot of gold though..... |

I went to Brooklands as usual with a couple of friends, not as many cars as last year as the weather kept a lot of people away but pure nostalgia for me as an ex British Aircraft apprentice. Despite the immense amount of work that the volunteers have undertaken to restore various aspects of the site , it always always saddens me to see to the way that the airfield has declined into a glorified retail park but that's another story...

In the cafe at local hospital . £1,55 for a plain Quassont. WTF. Good job I'm on the Mike Bell Diet.

It's OK for you. My wife has a Home Baking business and although we sold all the mince pies, there's still loads of shortbread, fudge, Florentines and savoury biscuits to wade through. (Well, we can't throw them away can we?)

Sounds like a double edged sword to me! You're right though, can't waste the goodies. And you've reminded me- I've got some mincers in a cupboard somewhere as well.....

With the bathroom scales accelerating faster than an F1 car, and with Christmas looming on the horizon, it was a case of turning a blind eye to Quality Street, Cadbury's biscuits, and similar temptations over the festive season for me.
So enjoy those left over 'flab producers' and think of poor old Bauble wasting away as he watches 'er indoors tucking in to the remains of the goodies. Still we have a spare turkey for dinner on Sunday, and that can only be good for me, surely? If wandering around the paddock at the Pom or Spring Start your eye should catch sight of a tall, good looking, and particularly slim, yet distinguished elder gentleman. Please pass on my regards. |

A somewhat belated Happy New Year to all.....for a variety of reasons I haven't been on here since Xmas, so had a fair bit of catching up to do.......and this thread has reminded me that throughout the entire Xmas period I failed to consume a single mince pie!
Wonder if Tescos have any left ? (at a discount for a poor pensioner, of course....) |
