It is traditional here in Caithness to climb the mountain called Morven (biggest in our little county) on New Year's Day and no matter what the weather there is always someone climbing it. I currently have no plans for this New Year's Eve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radfordred 6,284 Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 This could be the 1st mad Friday/black eyed Friday I've missed ... I'm off the pop .... might have a drive into town later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,115 Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 Apparently there's gridlock in town. That might help though! It was only averagely busy for a Friday at Morrisons Netherfield this afternoon. Perhaps the frenzy will start tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,115 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 I’ve just checked on the Christmas cracker stock and find we have two left over from last year so we’re well covered. It’s going to be strange sitting at opposite ends of the dining table with empty places all around. No turkey needed to please the family because it’s ‘traditional’. Chop chips and beans and apple pie if I get my way! (which I won’t) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,134 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 Tell yus wot Phil, yus can allus put sum turkey in a sandwich bag and send it to us. We promise to distance share Christmas wiv you, unless of course, it's cancelled, due to lack of interest. Incidentally, we've got chops for Sunday lunch. Must say I like your idea of chips and beans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,134 Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Me and Mrs.Beekay had this agreement many years ago. We stopped buying each other presents, as it seemed just a token gesture. If she wants something, anyday of the year, she can have it. No need to wait for Christmas. It works both ways, although I end up paying any road! We send ourselves a daft card, from us to us. PhilMayfield, I couldn't get any chops, so we're having a gammon joint instead. Any left will be with chips and egg. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HSR 286 Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Yep..but if they are pricey..you can ship them on.. Maybe it's just me, children aside, the giving of presents is a female thing. Family buy crap, Nohing better than, how did they know that? after only meeting a couple of times, Thought into presents is everything.. Including a bogie on the stairwell.. Was referring to Phil Mayfield's post.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,115 Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 I had an impulse buy of a chunk of turkey at the farm shop yesterday. It wouldn’t really be Christmas if I didn’t have turkey to moan about. I think they’ve had to cut them up as the large ones weren’t selling. Morrison’s sent us a pudding for 8 people but only charged for the small one we ordered. It’s our wedding anniversary today so I’m off to the farm shop this evening to buy the traditional Christmas bouquet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
