One of my best pal’s dad died this afternoon. He’d been sick for a little while. We’ll send him on his way later this week good and proper.
We took a trip to A&E with my mother yesterday after she took a spill in a shop - 4 stitches and a cauterized bleed in the nose and she’s right as rain if looking a little like she went boxing. Staff in the shop were brilliant and restored my faith in the world. They couldn’t have been nicer to an old lady when they had I am sure a lot to be doing.
I got a photo with my two lads and the aul lad this afternoon. We’re definitely running out of Christmases but have been blessed to get to here.
Happy to Christmas to all. Have a great one. Hope Santy is good.
Im sitting at the end of the table,tipping away at an Italian red wine that a good friend dropped in a short while ago while herself is frying onions for a sausage stuffing,chopping parsley for her own stuffing and even this morning when I came downstairs at around 8.30,she was par boiling carrotts for tomorrow.She also made a plate of divine salad sambos an hour ago.
Shes after demolishing a bottle of that Whispering Angel in 30 minutes along with the young wan, in between all that.And all done without fuss or drama.
Im actually blessed when I think about it.
Happy Christmas lads😃
The annual Christmas eve tradition. Two hours putting together a fucking lol dollhouse. Thank fuck the brother in law was here as well because i’d have been at it all night otherwise
I got Halfords to put the bike together this year. I made the mistake of doing it myself the last bike and nearly fucked a wheel out through the window. Stashed it down with my neighbour and collected it.
I felt your pain many moons ago, it will pass over time said daughter is 21 next week and lashing into the vodka presently, cherish it, the years are the best
That Gabby House last year pissed me off because it wouldn’t sit right the plastic piece of shit. I took it apart five times. Finally, I decided it would have to do. A year later, the child hasn’t noticed the construction imperfections
After that and the train set the previous year, I’m glad to say everything is in boxes this year as she fucking loves opening up the packaging.
To be fair to it, while it was slow the instructions were decent and it went together relatively straight forward. The year I’d to put together the small trampoline was nothing short of absolute torture. Nothing went together right
We went to do the set up there about half an hour ago to find that the eldest, no longer a believer, is determinedly staying awake…
Waiting for her to sleep. In the meantime, ive half the shit done for tomorrow. The ham is cooked and delicious but the best part is that I’ve extracted all the garlic i dug in under the fat and mashed it into a garlic paste, along with about 20 other garlic cloves i fired into the bag. It’s outrageous.
Juhy junior is technically the only full believer left in the family and he’s fast asleep, having sent the man in red a list as long as your arm. His 3rd year in a row asking for tickets to a utd match… not a hope. But this year, Santy, courtesy of @Copper_pipe the legend, is bringing 2 tickets. Its going to blow his mind! Good night all. And happy christmas.
years are the best
