Bad Winds, Bad Drivers, & Shiny Sequins!

 "Where's your Christmas spirit?"
"I drank it!" - Jack Benny and Phil Harris.
December
Welcome to my December. 
 Time for the sequins to come out again ;)
1: Warm Space:
2:Body Camera and low lying sun problems:
I have now got a body camera over Christmas.
My Supervisor wore it, and the very first time she walked in the road, she nearly got run over. The low lying sun blocked the license plate of the offending car. Week later, someone tried to run me over while I was in the middle of the road. This time, I got the offending license plate to report them to the Police!
3:Storm Darragh
We were going to see Human League in concert on the 7th December and stop overnight in a nice hotel in Birmingham. Due to the storm arriving, a tree blocked the train track and we couldn't leave Redditch. Walked back home with our suit cases in the heavy rain and wind, our front garden took the brunt of the storm!
4: Making Christmas Decorations in Droitwich.

5: Sequins, and Warm Space.
Christmas Themed Warm Space.↓

8: Visiting parents with wreaths.
9:Christmas Day.
I was nice to have our children stop over for Christmas :)
10: Visited Stratford upon Avon 
11: Betty the Gerbil enjoying some Turkish Box of Delights
12: I got my crucial haircut before New Year's Eve.
The hairdresser normally only cuts men's hair. So it was the first time he attempted to cut lady's hair. Nice short back and sides.
He did a really good job :)
14: Stopping up to watch the fireworks..
We didn't to toast in the New Year, as we were catching a train very early on New Year's Day! 

Happy New Year to you all 🎆🎇

It's Christmas!

 I once bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included. - Bernard Manning 
Christmas Day
Welcome along to my Christmas Day 🎄
There was no need to rush to get up.
Still had a warm hug.
Followed by a nice breakfast with brew.
Now to take down the presents...
After we opened all of our presents.
3 new editions along my Minions.
It was time to for coffee.
Hubby then went to collect his dad.
I got on with sorting out the Christmas Dinner.
One son went round to see if our neighbour wanted a Christmas Dinner.
He did and he will have.
Hour later, my Father-in Law arrived.
He opened his Christmas presents and had a nice cup of brew.
Once the Christmas Dinner was dished up,
A plate of it went next door.
Afterwards,
We watched the Queen's Speech.
Then onto Sinbad.
I got on with writing yesterday's blog post.
Mince pie anyone? 
Once Sinbad was finished we moved onto:
Then onto....
Then we watched the undiscovered 1970 Christmas special.
A very light tea↓
Hubby then took his dad home.
Now out comes the alcohol free punch.
8 years of being a Tee-total.
Now for a bit of Dirty Harry...
Let's look inside the newspaper.
Maurice  Cole , better known as Kenny Everett, was an English comedian, radio disc jockey and television presenter. After spells on pirate radio and Radio Luxembourg in the mid-1960s, he was one of the first DJs to join BBC radio's newly-created BBC Radio 1 in 1967. It was here he developed his trademark voices and surreal characters which he later adapted for television. 
He would have been 77 years old 🎈
He sadly died aged 50 aged 1995.
Denver  Pyle  was an American film and television actor and director. He was well known for a number of TV roles from the 1960s through the 1980s, including his portrayal of Briscoe Darling Jr. in several episodes of The Andy Griffith Show, as Jesse Duke in The Dukes of Hazzard from 1979 to 1985, as Mad Jack in the NBC television series The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams, as well as the titular character's father, Buck Webb, in CBS's The Doris Day Show. In many of his roles, he portrayed either authority figures, or gruff, demanding father figures, often as comic relief.
He died on this day in 1997 aged 77.
"To Kill a Mockingbird", a film adaptation of the novel by Harper Lee, directed by Robert Mulligan and starring Gregory Peck, is released (Gregory Peck - Best Actor Academy Awards 1963)in 1962.
Hubby comes back.
Sleep Tea time.
Now to enjoy the rest of Xmas Day in bed 🛏
