probably to match with the equally insane wildlife?
Happy xmas day to you and the feline cabal (especially little friend susan of course
)

I'm not familiar with them..is it Dido's brother's band or something?
It's a real loss whether you know the person or not as the music is such a big part of your life.
I wasn’t sure if it was the cost of living, the weather, the fact everyone seems to be either ill or just getting over illness or just that most of the schools have been off for a week here plus the rail strikes and because it’s a Sunday Christmas people have had time to organise. Maybe a combo of all of the above I guess, it was busier earlier in the week.
Insomnia is probably one of their most famous tracks. They are a dance band. Lots of DJs sample their music. It’s like going back to when things seemed simple but actually weren’t.
Oh yes the roads moved recently, my mum went to Widnes to see the new bridge and ended up on it. Then had to pay the tolls.
I rate the jerk tofu experience a solid 8/10, definitely would recommend. The portions are a decent size, I probs didn't need the sweetcorn fritters as well but they were bangin so no regrets. I actually made bread for the first time in at least seven months today! Going to my sister's tomorrow with my mum and grandma for a party food lunch and didn't want to turn up empty handed, especially as I haven't been able to go out and get any gifts. The festive guilt is real.
Merry Christmas/weekend to all you absolute bangers
I'll be missing my beautiful mum today. No matter what the weather forecast was we always had roast turkey with taters, veg, polish pickles and a Québecan dessert similar to brownies at Christmas lunch. All served on the tableware she got for her first wedding in 1957.
Tu me manques, Maman.

Lol it’s cold AF here (for here). It dropped from being in the 20s to below freezing in less than 2 days, it’s still below zero and my RENTED house is an old raise one-storey house (not a bungahouse) with 12ft ceilings and one heater to heat the whole thing. Last night despite running the water, the hot water pipe froze so I spent 30 mins this morning lying on my back under the house blowing the hairdryer at it to melt the ice as Mr V is at work and I couldn’t be arsed involving my actual EVIL LANDLADY.
All is well though and it’s, unfathomably, going to be back in the 20s by mid week (unlike all those poor buggers further north). It’s also a beautiful day outside so I’m about to go for a walk all bundled up.
Related, I had a big birthday a couple of weeks ago. There’s a pic of me 25 years ago pretty much in Geri’s EXACT 2 become 1 outfit except my coat was a thrift store 70s suede one with a massive sheepskin collar (sorry @Falkor’s girls
). Lol after the fact this year, I realized that with some of my birthday money this year I actually bought Mel C’s entire 2 become 1 outfit right down to the khaki hoodie life preserver. I’m going to stick that outfit on with a giant coat and hat and go for a walk along the river to see if I can see any of my bird friends.Love to all on Christmas Eve (or Day, dear upside downers) and I just want to say a huge huge thank you to you all. This is such a wonderful caring, thoughtful, daft, irreverent, hilarious and just GLORIOUS community and I am so thankful to be a part of it.
A) I love the term life preserver. The first time I heard it, I had no idea what it referred to. I thought people were talking about those minty sweets and didn’t see how they kept people warm.Lol it’s cold AF here (for here).

B) How are the animals coping in the weather?

C) keep popping back if you can… let us know you are ok.

Everyone’s cats are inside, we have a couple of little ferals that come but a couple of different neighbors have outside laundry rooms and have left those doors open for them and we are feeding them and leaving warmish water for them to drink, we’ve also left cat food under the house in case the naughty cat food stealing raccoon and possum are around (TOTAL enabling!).
As it’s been so unseasonably warm, there are some tiny baby lizards (a tiny tiny gecko about the size of a 50p came into the house on Wed and I rescued it and put it back in the garden before the cats saw it) and their parents around, hopefully they’re all burrowed deep into the soil and safe til it warms up again.x
Lol “life preserver” is SHAMELESSLY stolen from Marty Calvin (of the purple underwear)- I don’t think anyone’s ever worn one better
ETA @Sideboard Bob Ted Danson plays “himself” in Curb Your Enthusiasm and he’s great in it, especially the later seasons. Have you seen that?
I thought life preserver was a life jacket
It is. It’s just that when Marty McFly goes into the diner in the 1950s the guy behind the counter thinks his puffer vest/gilet is a life vest and asks if he’s just jumped ship- so that’s where it came from to describe puffer vests/giletsI thought life preserver was a life jacket
