I think it's Friday: no real plans, but Tom, Lily and Elanor are going back to Shrewsbury, and Jac and Rhys are back, so a bit of hot-bedding going on. Shopping and food prep for NYE
Probably Saturday: Jean's (Jaynes mum) 78th birthday. We're taking her, Jac and Rhys to see Wonka at the Old Market Hall in Shrewsbury, then a meal at The Armoury in Shrewsbury. Jac will then catch a train back to Manchester and the rest of us will head back to Coedy.
Possibly Sunday: the neighbours-from-the-bottom-of-the-garden are coming over for NYE, so we're cooking. Peach, Parma Ham and Puy Lentil starter, Mucky Knees Chicken then Lemon Possett.
Have a lovely New Year's Eve, and a healthy and happy new year.

Friday: Some quiet reflection, as this is the 100th anniversary of my dad's birth. He died at the age of 62 in 1985, and was a fantastic dad who encouraged me in all sorts of ways, and who used to love coming to watch me play cricket for Weoley Hill CC and football for the Shenley Court staff team. I used to love my time with him at St Andrews, New Road and Edgbaston, as he worked so hard at Longbridge that his free time was somewhat limited. He really had little interest in football until he started taking me to Alvechurch FC and then Blues, but he was a proper Bluenose by the time he died. I would have loved to have had him with me at Wembley in 2011.
Saturday: We'll probably have a trip to Waitrose in Exeter to buy something nice to cook and eat on NYE.
Sunday: We'll stay up till midnight as usual, but "Happy New Year" will ring hollow given that our brother-in-law received the expected unpleasant news yesterday at the hospital.
Monday: Stay in bed as long as Henry the Cat will allow.

My heart goes out to you both, Sarah and Will, and to your B-I-L. I loved reading about your Dad.
Up early on Friday morning for a trip to Toulouse Lautrec hospital for the first meeting with my surgeon, and an MRI and biopsy. I am a bit down at the moment, but now I know why I have been under the weather for the last couple of years so it can get sorted. We will bring a pizza in for tea.
Saturday, Sunday, Monday...I dunno. It depends on how I feel after being poked and prodded. Not too bothered about the biopsy as such. just the size of the firkin great needle.
Saturday...A roast leg of Lamb with the usual stuff.
Sunday...Odds and sods for tea. Salad and cheese and charcuterie that we never ate over Christmas. And a hot giant sausage roll. Chrissie makes the best Sausage Rolls
Monday...King Prawn Pathia which is my all time favourite meal. with fried Basmati and Naan Bread.
Have a great weekend / New Year everyone.

It seems like 2024 can already do one I always reflect on my Mom & Dad, especially at this time of year. Most of the year I linger on the happy memories but this time of year I miss them, regret we didn’t have longer with them (Mom 1989 & Dad 2001) Health & wealth is what we say to people, & I wish that for everyone on here. Friday - tidy the house Friday night - my Joe is arriving ( haven’t seen or spoken to him over Christmas because he has been ill 🤧) Saturday? ? Sunday - Joe returns home, or to his girlfriend’s for New Year, we are ment to be going to friends for New Year (not sure yet) New Years Day - roast lamb dinner. Early to bed because Tuesday I START MY NEW JOB 🤗🤗 Please have a good one all 🥰🥰

Is it Friday? Walked a lot today. It’s 25 degrees here so it was hard going at times. Has to keep stopping for liquid refreshments. Just having a siesta before meeting up with friends. However they’ve both come down with the lurgy so may not.
Tomorrow. Bus to Santa Cruz to walk round there. Bus back then out for beer or two and a meal
Sunday. Dunno but fireworks at the harbour at midnight.
Enjoy your weekend the best you can people
