Hi
I think normally Ellie request this thread to start on the 1st day of the new month. I am not sure how to request it, so just started one myself, hope it is OK.
Hi Angie and Lilly, I was going to suggest you hit the shops early but your daughter probably isn't coming too early. Mrs Tvman and I spent many weekends there as our elder son was living there for a few years whilst he was studying for a PhD.
He met his now wife in Aberdeen as they were both studying at uni there. She's from Bolivia and they married in Bolivia just as COVID broke out and all flights were cancelled so he was stuck there for a few months but he was still able to study there because all classes were online.
Hope you have a lovely time with your daughter. You'll pick up something for Lilly, definitely.

Hi Lucy, L1964 nice to see your name pop up. I hope you have a lovely Christmas xx

Have a lovely relaxing Sunday everyone away from the Christmas bustle

Patrick that looks lovely, very calm and tranquil, not like the shopping centre I have just fought my way around, and all for a jar of pickled onions! Mr Simo likes a particular jar from marks and Spencer’s in a balsamic vinegar. It was the last jar on the shelf so I’m glad I went this morning.
Thanks TVman, she will land at 10am so time for a bit of shopping and lunch before heading home. I am not the greatest fan of going shopping, but it has to be done and I love going out for lunch. Glad I got all mine done and dusted ages ago. Have a grand day, love
Angie and Lilly xx ️
Patrick, it does look lovely and tranquil as Chelle said. I have to face the shops in Aberdeen tomorrow when my daughter comes home. She still has not got all her Christmas presents sorted. Can’t wait to put up with ignorant people milling around the shops. Xxx have a lovely Day xx love and hugs from
Angie and Lilly xx ️
I don't envy you although I do like pickled onions myself. I'm sure the rest of the day will be restful and relaxing so enjoy it!

I am getting into the full Christmas spirit with some mulled wine.
