Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Brett Angell Delight]

I was going to add have a good one, but I see there's no need.?

Bubbles and the GOT forum. If a better one exists, I don’t know of it.

Btw, for anyone worried about the whole block of butter used in the making of the turkey, this is what was skimmed off afterwards. It’s practically calorie-free, now…

I'm sure that you are doing a brilliant job AT.

Mrs J wants me nowhere near the kitchen , which suits me in the sommelier role perfectly.

Surprised you've got any wine left

Now if that was us, all that darker stuff at the bottom would be going in the gravy, along with all the bits scraped from the roasting dish. Would put Jamie bloody Oliver to shame. ?

Job 1

You must have put that in about 6am looks lovely though. Save me a leg will yer. Turkey crown for me today.

What time are the roasties going in.? Are you using goose fat?. I like mine small and cooked over a lower heat for about 2 hours so they're all lovely and burnt. God I'm getting myself hungry now ?

Brilliant.

Never change mate.

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.

Yes this. X

Bright, sunny but cold in the North East.

Brilliant.

I'll try my best not to Fred.
Think I may be slightly set in my ways now at 51 lollollol

 

[tommye]

Merry Christmas to one and all.
Hope everyone has a fab day.
Special thoughts for those we have lost this last year and for those who have lost someone special. Love to all xx

 

[Barnfred 55]

Good morning. Merry Christmas. Have a lovely day everybody. It's been fun and a joy to get to know you all over the last few months.
In spite of there being no excitable children in this house, I was woken up by this diva who wanted a) her breakfast b) somebody to play with and c) to go out. Worse than a toddler

What a beautiful [Poor language removed] you have there Anj.

 

[jazzy]

Surprised you've got any wine left

Down to my last 120 bottles Fred. Panic might set in if I get to 115!

 

[Bluetintedspecs]

Beautiful that mate , all the best to you and your family

Thanks Jazzy, and the same to you mate. You and Mrs J are absolute stars.

 

[jazzy]

Peeing down.

Oh dear.

Gorgeous day here Fred.

My cousin just sent me a photo from Oakhampton and it was dry there too.

Hopefully the rain stops for you soon.

Shock , horror our local pub is closed all day.

 

[jazzy]

@fandjango , how are your preparations for Christmas lunch going amigo?

Nice cava and Rioja selected?

 

[jazzy]

@Terrarian , please give that gorgeous beagle an extra long walk if you are up to it today mate and give her a kiss from me.

Hope you can enjoy the day today .

What's on the playlist ...Slipknot, Paramore or Green Day perhaps ( all my nephews favourite bands from a few years ago).
