Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Neighbours just left. I do enjoy my curry nights as it's not worth cooking from scratch just for myself. Plenty left for tea tomorrow too.

Anj's Zanzibar curry was amazing. And my version does have a teaspoon of garam masala too.😀

They told me they've booked a coastal villa in Cape Town for 3 weeks in January and asked if I'd like to join them. Just need to pay for my travel and contribute towards living costs . Are you kidding me? It looks fantastic complete with amazing swimming pool. Itinerary includes cricket and rugby tests, a Robbie Williams concert, and a 2 day safari trip. Sign me up.😀

Go for it mate, it’s an offer you can’t refuse
Mrs DE lived in Cape Town for 10 years (Kirstenhof ) from 70-80 and loved it, it’s changed a lot but still a great place

Breathtaking mate. Finland remains the most ethereally stunning place I’ve ever been; I even sneakily sent my missus some links to houses there but she summarily shot me down. Needless to say, I’m now auditioning for either a second wife or an Odd Couple style buddy to go halves on a Finnish gaff with. Must enjoy snow and pickled fish.

Sounds brilliant, you’ll have a great time.
 
Morning all, not a bad start to the day, fairly mild temperature forecast of 13 degrees which is good as were are off with daughter, SIL and grandkids nos 3&4 to visit Father Christmas on an alpaca farm this morning. Hope Jess doesn’t come up wth any last minute surprises like she did a couple of years ago. Her Mum had arranged for a visit from one of Santa’s elves on Christmas Eve. On being asked what she was hoping to get Jess replied an LOL doll, (highly overpriced cheap plastic tat ) which came as complete surprise to everyone and resulted in a last minute dash to the shops before they shut.
@anjelikaferrett , yes the tree is up despite a disaster taking decorations out of the box. I dropped a snow globe (didn’t they used to be called snowstorms?) smashing two more and ending up with a box full of water and broken glass. Fortunately all the tree baubles escaped unscathed, I would have been mortified to lose any, some of them go back to our first tree together.
Have a good day, all.💙

I have a bauble on my tree that we believe is from the 1950s or at the latest 1960s. I remember it on my Granny’s Christmas tree but don’t actually remember how I ended up with it. Regardless, it is always the central bauble on the tree every year and God forbid anything ever happens to it.

OMG sounds like the trip of a lifetime. Have an absolutely fantastic time . Jealous? Me? No not even one bit .....now what was it that Mutley in Dick Dastardly used to say ...."suckumfrasumrusum"....
 
Just heard from my friends wife, this was the lad who only recently was diagnosed with bile duct cancer, that he passed away peacefully last night. He was only 69 and was desperate to hang on until he was 70 in February but he went downhill very quickly, not unexpected to be honest…R.I.P. Richard………

Ah no. You really don’t have your sorrows to seek. Awful time of the year for a passing.
