A couple of better safe than sorry oatcakes before bed as I was just above hypo territory.

I might even put a frock on. HRVY do you think? Or will Joe Public surprise us and pick Bill? Can’t wait.

I do think HRVY and I will be voting for him but really any of them would be worthy winners as they have all worked so hard. Really looking forward to it
 
A crispy sunny morning here in north Germany with a 7.2 when I got up at 7:00, curry night tonight, the chicken tikka is already marinading, can’t wait!
Have a great day folks!!!

HRVY is the logical choice but I really want it to be Bill or Jamie.
 
6.1 this morning. Little high but I did pig out on a massive dinner. Took some left over roast beef and the sort of swede dauphinois and mushed them all together, added some mushrooms, sprouts, chestnuts and a dollop of cream, seasoning, topped with grated cheese and whacked it in the oven.
So delicious I ate it all lol
 
4.6 this morning but dropped to 3.7 during work yesterday afternoon so perhaps need to take a nut bar or something to work I start at 2.30pm and am delivering meds to care homes until 7pm.
 
11:32 BS 7.5 🙂 woke an hour earlier with my sister’s phone call telling me about the lockdown on Boxing Day! So, a bit of DP maybe but, probably not & I continue my run of waking in the 7’s.🙄 I’ve been trying to cut my portion size down by a third when I have shepherds pie, made one yesterday, & it’s leaving me a little hungry still & I’ve been naughty in having a couple of mint toffees about 2 hours after dinner & before bed: getting slowly used to it though & less hungry; retraining myself to eat less isn’t a quick fix!😳🙄

Also, woke to get a text from DHL that my ipad is being delivered today 12:22 to 13:22: wasn’t expected until 21-23 Dec. So, that’s a nice bonus & I believe them too since the iPhone was delivered on the day they said! 🙂

I’m looking forward to Strictly tonight too & I think HRVY is most likely to win, never voted into a dance off & that’s a very good indication of the public support he has but, it’ll be really funny, & VERY OK with me, if Jamie won it: anything could happen; who’d have thought that Chris Hollins would win, seriously? 🙄:D😛😎😉

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Oohhh! Typing fast can I squeeze this post in under the wire OR do I need to change my greeting & go Australian? 🙄:D😉

Oh yes! Love the new pixie elf piggy @Northerner 😛:D😎😉 Very festive!:D

Yay! 5 minutes to spare! :D

Wrap up warm as I nearly froze my toesies off going to the little girls room this morning!

Ooohhh! A little interruption as my doorbell rings, it’s my iPad! It came even earlier than the text said! Yippee! Little girl with a new toy here I come! 😛:D😎😉
 
Afternoon all. Blustery here with showers but the sun has just come out. 🙂 7.4 @ 8.39am not bad after all that chocolate last night. The Alistair Sim Scrooge is on today, looking forward to seeing it again. Up to now we've done White Christmas, The Bishop's Wife, Trading Places, Lethal Weapon, Deck The Halls, The Family Stone, It's A Wonderful Life, Last Christmas, all the Raymond Briggs, The Holiday... will watch Nat Lampoon's on the actual day on DVD. Sorted.
 
7.6 and rising this morning. 1st day of the holiday and I’m ill ! Awful headache and sick, ache and no energy. Maybe just I’m just absolutely shattered really hoping it’s not a what some kids had at work as about 7 days later some seemed to develop covid. I’m still in Pjs and have managed 3 digestive biscuits. Hope I’m fit for strictly later. No idea who’ll win.

Family lived in North Germany when I was in my early teens. My father was in the Army and his Regiment was stationed there. I loved it.

I would be a bit further north near Hamburg, the British army were and still are near Osnabrück I think, I was here in the 70’s with my family, father was RAF.
It is a pretty nice place to live but I just became a grandfather in August so we’re planning going to the UK next year

We were in what was then West Berlin. I think BAOR had a much larger presence in Germany back then (1962-63). My sister (WRAC) was stationed at Rheindahlen in 1970, close to the Dutch border.

I would say Berlin would have been an experience in those days, it still is now. I know Rhinedahlen well, my father was with 4sqd based at Wildenrath but we lived off camp in Heinsberg so we went to Rhinedahlen every couple of weeks for shopping in their big NAFFI to get the English food, I was there from 74 until 77, good old days! Then I came back in 2009 to install machinery for Airbus and ended up staying

I enjoyed every minute, even though my time there was limited to school holidays. I'd passed my 11+ while we were stationed in Benghazi in1959, so I got shipped back home to Wales to live with my grandparents so I could attend the local grammar school. After my first trip I chose German over French as my foreign language.

My sister, I'm afraid, is still in Rheindahlen. She and her husband (also Army) died in an accident whilst they were stationed there. They're both buried in the Rheindahlen Military Cemetery.

Ohh I’m so sorry to hear that, take a look at this video I found today quite by accident,
And once again I’m very sorry for your loss

It was 50 years ago. Time heals, but thanks.

I've actually been in that NAAFI. I paid a visit to the cemetery in 2001 and got some flowers there to place on the graves.

I lost a son a few years ago so I’m no stranger to grief myself but you are right time does have a way to heal.
it’s very strange that video popping up on my recommendation list today though.
