Weekly Chat (Non-Osprey), 1 January 2017

  • New Year greetings from a windy Nairn. Let's hope 2017 is a better year for all. Special thoughts to Heather and Margo.

    Kind regards

    Jenny

  • Wishing you all a happy and peaceful 2017 and thanking everyone for the love and support extended to me and mine.

    New year, and a first for me - a pyjama day! never done such a thing before except when unwell. Quite a novelty, showered etc, then put on what I like to call my 'housecoat'. Sounds better than dressing gown and in truth it is quite a smart one :-)

    You're ahead of me, Heather.  I've just showered and I'm only wearing a towel at the moment.  It's a totally cool one, though - green, with the design of a giant thumb print!

    Our herring gulls are red listed birds.  Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.

  • That's better.  Moisturised, dressed and feeling like getting out and about.  See you all later!

  • HEATHER  Hope you have a nice relaxing pyjama day. I like to change into my dressing gown early evening, then I do feel relaxed and comfy.

    CLARE  Sounds like a really quirky towel,  I want one!!!  

  • Back again.  It's raining here now but I did manage to get a few photos.  Click on the finches to see more:

  • Another lurker here, to wish you all good health and happiness in 2017.  I think that 2016 is probably best forgotten for many of us, and now is the time to look forward.  Take care everyone.

  • Well it's 9:45 a.m. here and I'm still in my nightie and dressing gown (we call the latter robes here, but minus any chains of office). Have been talking/texting with the UK family. Sister has had a bumpy few months with one health issue and another and I'll be going back late February for a big birthday (hers).  

    Must do something constructive today - after all need to get the year going on a positive note!

    Never mind ospreys, the gray whale migration will start in another six weeks or so.  :-)

  • Goodness, Annette:  The whale migration soon seems to come around again!  Hope your sister has a better year for her health.

    I've been slobbing around all day in a pair of sloppy velour trousers and a loose top.  We had cheese and biscuits for lunch but didn't want much else.

    Catching up:

    OG:  Lovely pic of the youngster:  you're right, they're not little for long, it soon goes.

    Jenny, Mulberry & Harelady:     Nice to see you on here, posting.  Happy New Year!

    Here is a pic of a Christmas dec I'm very fond of - it was my Mothers, and she always stood him on the fireplace:

    He is made of "grass" and has a dear little bell around his neck.  He always seems to look hopeful for some Christmas cake, to me!
