The Dogmother Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 We traditionally meet with other lurcher owners at Berrow Beach near Weston super Mare between Christmas and New year, although this has been delayed now until the first weekend in January.

soapdragon Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Meeting up with friends, cooking them St Delia of Smith's Sausage Casserole followed by panettone bread and butter pud with fresh custard. Playing with the boys Christmas toys. Going out for walks if the weather permits. Trying to stop the boys arguing. Using the festive season as an excuse to indulge in a few very cold Fino sherrys. Trying NOT to eat too much (or at least pick at turkey and ham rather than that box of Thorntons in the cupboard!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I have flu I didn't plan it nor ask for it Been on painkillers for the shivers and aches for three days and this is my first day without them so it is on it's way, thank goodness! I'm another Capricorn, but my birthday is after New Year. Fortunately, I managed to get a fortnight off work so will be at home until 7th January We will be going out and about if I am up to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 It never ceases to amaze me how that time off between Christmas and New Year, when you're full of plans to get things done at home, seems to end up being a succession of family 'duty' visits. A lovely walk with friends and their dogs is planned fro tomorrow though hopefully that'll cheer up my grumpy teen whose friends are all on enforced groundings, so she's on a sort of detox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I had a lovely walk planned for my birthday tomorrow....but that won't be happening now I've so far managed to miss all the bugs going around the rest of the family and all 12 of us managed Christmas Day although a couple felt dreadful, were on meds and had pasted on a smile........then my back 'went' on Christmas Day afternoon It had been threatening for a couple of days so I was careful and managed to work through it on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.......today it decided it had had enough. I can't walk without crutches nor even dress myself let alone contemplate a good walk in the hills. Painkillers, frozen peas and a hot wheat bag have been helping but this is one of the times I wished I drank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Oh no, sorry to hear about your back Lesley. I hope it is a bit better today. Happy birthday I hope you have a nice day despite your back. The weather is horrid here so perhaps an indoor day is good Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 The lazing is going well but the grazing is going badly. I'm not exactly ill but then I'm not exactly well either. Usual energy, feel hungry but can only eat very tiny amounts before coming over all unnecessary. Don't know what's wrong. At least I won't put on weight.
