Not here. Each to his/her own. I'm mad enough as it is.

Anyone for Black Bream? I'm cooking. Stuffing them with chopped shallots, home grown flat parsley, lemon & black pepper then grilling them. Accompanied by a stir fry. Might even do some spuds. Lucky Mrs E!

Lucky Mrs E indeed!
I simply had stir fry. It was good enough for me. (looks plaintive and a bit humble).

Are you on your way back to us Tippy?
... hangs out the bunting ...

Well the advent calendar delivered the goods this morning - a chocolate Santa and a reminder to post him my wish list. Great stuff

Tippy is on his way home

Hope the chocolate Santa was good Limper. I forgot to buy myself an advent. Might buy one when come out of hairdresser today.

Well after the weight going up and down and up and down I have another week of down. Only 1ln but it's coming down. That is me back to having lost 2st 9lbs. Yippee. 5 lbs to 3 st. Oh please can I make it for Christmas. Would be a good present to myself. Had planned 4 st off this year but I will settle for 3 and tackle the other 5 next year.

Well done Speedy. You have done great to keep on with the diet for a prolonged period this year. I'm sure you can do the final 5lb by Christmas.
Have you had snow yet?

It's bitterly cold here but only frosty.

Speedy.G !!!!!!!!!

Thank you Limper. I will try hard to remove another 5lbs by Christmas.

No snow thank goodness but it's cold and the roads are icy and cars frozen over.

Hair cut and coloured today. Grey banished for another few weeks.

What are you up to this weekend?

Chocolate snowman in the calendar this morning. Brill I'm hoping for a robin tomorrow!!

I should try to go for a long plod today but I've already done three hours of hard work in the cold and frost at the stables and don't really feel like going out again. Not for a while anyway.

How are our lovely boys this morning? Have you been reunited yet?

No Tippy yet. Another solo long run yesterday morning. Set off in the dark & freezing fog. Looped & swooped the various parks around town, put in some hills and made it to 16 miles with no stops. 7 miles this morning on my way to pump & then stretch. Ran past Tippy Towers and all still deserted.

All together now "All we want for Christmas is for Speedy to lose 5 lbs".

What tune are you singing to Eagle? Only I can't make those lyrics fit any that I know!!
Well done on your excellent run. I am humbled by your greatness. I managed a meagre 9 miles with lots of stops.

I'm back..........
Unpacked, house warming slowly.
Guards back on duty looking for stray Eagles.
Well done Speedy...
Limper as a famous store says "every little helps"
Now must plan for Tuesday plod with the Eagle.

Welcome back Tippy.

Wow RE and Limper fab running from you both.

I like your lyrics RE and I have 3 weeks to make it happen. Ta folks.

Out on the frozen fields this morning. Complete waste of time. All our detectors were finding stuff but nobody could get their spades into the frozen ground. We all stopped at 10.30 and went to retrieve our flasks of tea and coffee to see if fields would thaw a bit. Not a chance. So day was cut short.

I took a dog for a hair cut instead.

Sorry Speedy, but your story is quite funny
Imagine the frustration if you knew there was treasure but you couldn't dig it up until the ground thaws in Spring - and then there would be a race to see who gets out there first!

Welcome home darling Tippy. Mwah mwah mwah. Or better still - snog snog snog.

Limper - the lyrics were a play on 'all I want for christmas is my two front teeth....' Or were you just joking?

Tuesday plod eh TT?

RE you bet.
Tutu at the ready, no swearing

Lol Limper. I could just see the rush for the treasure.

In a great deal of pain with right knee tonight which is strange as usually left knee. Pain killers, anti inflammatories taken. Speedy has a very low pain threshold

Better ease of tomorrow as gym session and body combat class booked.

Are you doing your static exercises Speedy?? ( looks stern )
Hope the pain eases off for you. You can't win with arthritis can you - pain in the warm weather and pain in the cold weather
Unless you are severely asthmatic or allergic you could use a topical gel on the area as well.

Just wanted to report, as I know you are all waiting with baited breath (whatever that means) - it was indeed a chocolate robin this morning. Woohoo!!!

Have a good day dearies.

Shoved it straight in Tippy. Always strive to be humane when eating chocolate wildlife!
