Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

OK good morning everyone.
Breakfast made and eaten.
It is pretty cold out there with frost on the car.
So, it's mum's birthday today - 94 a grand old age and fortunately apart from being quite deaf ( but she can hear OK 1 on 1 ) and having occasional backache she is remarkably for and well. Whilst my cousin will keep an eye on her for the next 2 weeks she lives very independently, indeed she will cook him pasties.
Given the current problems of @larbert toffee and @anjelikaferrett with their respective parents I feel so lucky.

Taking her out to lunch before final preparations.

That reminds me this is a massive weekend for @larbert toffee with his grandson having his first visit to Goodison. I hope that he finds it so awe-inspiring as I did on my first visit and the Big Dunc , the team and crowd are right up for the Villa game and get the result that we desperately need.

With a 12.30 ko it will be 7.30am over there so a big decision as to whether to annoy Mrs J that early into the holiday !

@Barnfred 55 I trust that the funeral went OK yesterday and that your heads not too bad today and that you have a safe trip home tomorrow.

Have a smashing time everyone. WiFi very patchy last time we were in the Caribbean so probably won't be posting much.

I didn’t realise that was the case with @larbert toffee , potentially a fantastic atmosphere to bring a youngster even if the football might not live up to it ! Certainly much better than if we hadn’t sacked the other fella.

You and Mrs J have a great holiday, don't worry about us, we're all jealous anyway :)

My youngest son, his girlfriend, my mate and my Grandson are all coming down tomorrow night for the weekend for the game, my brother is also flying back tomorrow from Thailand to resume parental care duties.
Can't wait for the match now Benitez has gone, I was willing to give him a chance at first but the guys stubbornness and arrogance was his downfall in the end.
My Grandson has been told that it's impossible to get tickets but we're going to watch the match in a pub near the ground to capture the atmosphere, at some point I'll hand him his ticket.
My youngest son's first game was a 7-1 win v Sunderland anything approaching that would be brilliant ?

Brilliant. Hope the little one has a fabulous day.
Should be better than Stenhousemuir

Won't be as cheap? you can get matchday corporate, a nice meal and as much drink as you can handle for about £65, I've done it a couple of times with a group of mates, it's a good day out and they are very much a community spirited club.
The thing that makes we laugh is the dugouts are opposite the main stand and the managers have to walk across the pitch towards you, if the first half hasn't gone so well the 300 or so in the stand let the manager have it with both barrels, you feel sorry for the guy when you think of the paltry money they must be on.
