Tell Me Something............Anything!

Just been over to Wigan to drop off some Christmas presents at Anita's son's house, where his partner has had a 20 foot inflatable Father Christmas in the front garden. Light coming into the lounge is almost completely blocked by Santa's arse. Not very festive. Same as this:

You've got to admire the sheer insanity of it though.

You've got to admire the sheer insanity of it though.

Which would be ok if the insanity stopped there. But really it's just another symptom of her Facebook/Tik Tok mentality which Anita's son might have to put up with while hoping that science might eventually find a cure.

Hope your Liverpool break went well, and you're not too disappointed with the lack of posts on here in your absence. I know you said you like to save 'em up. What does your family think of your new speakers? I assume you showed them pictures). Or are you the only one that bothers with that sort of thing?

No I didn't bother showing them pictures. One of my brothers is vaguely interested, but he wasn't there.

He'd dropping by me tomorrow en route to Liverpool so he'll see them then. He's the one who has a 'garden room' that's better than my house, and I know he wants to put some serious speakers in there.

But he's married with children so I doubt he'd be allowed to spend that much money.

No, it'll just end up filled with oversize toys when mum and dad are sick of stumbling over them. Anyway, serious speakers and all that glass won't be a winning combination, I mean where would you start with room treatment?

Just started on a six-pack of Walnut Whips - either they have become another victim of "Shrinkflation" or my hands have got bigger. I think I'll join Barry in his boycotting of Nestle products. Right after I've finished this pack

Had two massive platefuls for Christmas dinner as there was a ton of it and no-one else wanted much. And a chocolate cake for afters which no-one else wanted either, so I eat all that too over the course of the evening.

Only found out later there was a tub of cream to go with it. Oh well.

Going to be digesting for several days I think.

We went to Anita's son's place for Christmas dinner. After a starter of prawn cocktail (which I surprised myself by actually liking), The main course was MASSIVE. I got more than anyone else because I have an undeserved reputation for being a greedy pig. And I was the only one to finish it all.

Dessert was either fruit cocktail trifle, Christmas pud with cream or lemon meringue. I'd jokingly said last week that I'll have all three - and that's what I got. Still managed to finish it all (helped with a few glasses of wine (don't ask what I'm really not that cultured).

I really couldn't face my usual cornflakes at suppertime so I went to bed hungry.

I did go in an Aldi for the first time ever while I was in Liverpool.

It's built on the same spot where I signed on for the first time back in 1988.

I looked, but there's no commemorative plaque.

Ironically, the Aldi was advertising for staff.
