Good morning everyone and Merry Christmas!!
No White Christmas here but I suspect
@blue1948 is making up for that in Finland.
What's the weather like in the North East @anjlikeaferret, in Scotland
@larbert toffee and in the far south west
@Barnfred 55 ?
Echoing one of the themes of yesterday it is remarkable how Karl a guy none of us met has brought us all together from far flung areas of the UK and beyond and that our combined humanity and sense of camaraderie and decency keeps us all in touch.
So when I type out this message I am thinking of his family who are spending their first Christmas without him and Fred without his beloved Cal and Roydo without his similarly loved Nikki and
@Terrarian and
@fandjango who will be spending the day alone.
We have all suffered loss and know the pain that goes with that. And equally we know that when we suffer loss we need support and friendship especially so at Christmas.
So we will be here for each other this Christmas this year , next year and for many many more years.
We will try to cheer each other up if thats needed , bemoan Everton's bad fortune and celebrate the occasional 3 points.
We will do what friends do.
So , I all hope that you have a lovely day or at the very least it is not as painful as you thought it may have been.
Merry Christmas, take care and stay safe in the pandemic.
