A bit more blowy and colder today but a nice bracing stroll along the promenade this morning.

Think I can see the famous lamp post that the seagull launched his attack from . Had it down to a fine art...watch people buying the expensive ice-creams and a perfect swoop to take it out of your mouth in seconds ! (I caused a scene by screaming , then hubby caused even more of a scene having a go at me for being stupid letting him take it as he'd just forked out a fortune on it against his wishes )Had a little walk around Llandudno after the cloud and mist lifted. Forecast is still saying overcast and rain but thankfully it's totally incorrect.

Now sitting in a pub having a spot of late lunch and they're playing Chrimbo songs.
So far I've taught the locals the words to United songs like "Feed the scousers let them know it's Christmas time" and "on the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me an Eric Cantona".
I've not even had a beer yet either
Happy daze.Put my decs up. The Factory might have gone , but the good old MRI/ GEC Measurements christmas tinsel still lives on and still looking good !
When I worked in MRI/GEC Measurements they used to have a disco and bar open in the works canteen in the 70's , when everyone finished at Christmas Eve lunchtime and was well frequented all afternoon. They had a lovely big christmas tree adorned with decs..... when I woke up in bed later , after somehow staggering the 2 miles home , I was still fully dressed and decorated up like a christmas tree
Possibly a reaction to the warmish fortnight before the cold snap - the thrush where I am spent that fortnight in a full-on spring rehearsal - shouting his bloody head off all day.Noticed I've got a couple of new roses just appeared , on the bush that's been there since we moved in 40 years ago and normally just flowers in the summer. Lots of my summer potted plants on my patio have started flowering again as well, in addition to a couple in the borders. They must like this snow better than me!
Does that mean he's going to have two birthdays like Queenie?Today is Eric's due date, he's already 4.6kgs
We agreed before the pregnancy that my wife could choose the name if a boy, me if a girl. I got to choose his middle name, which is Samuel. I got it from a gravestoneI'm not sure I realised the name. What a brilliant one!
