Meal plans made to take us into the new year. Next couple of days are lighter dishes. Starting with halloumi fajitas tonight.

Waiting to hear my neighbour come back in, just as I was thinking about taking Jess I heard her go past. Her dog can be a silly sossidge when it sees other dogs. So best we do not have a meet on the pontoon.

Sitting under a double layer of blankets. It is soooo cold today.

Awake stupid early. Mr is off to see his parents today. I can not join as someone needs to be with the dog. Dog is not welcome at theirs.

Oh God, my neighbour is showering, his pump has the weirdest sound and I just worry it is going to electrocute him or something.

Currently earwormed by Haven - I run. Going to watch a bit of tv to get rid of it.

Christmas food is in the oven. Beef welly, potato & celeriac dauphinoise and confit garlic and brown butter carrots. Got jus to warm up too. We did not make all this we bought a meal box in.

I have some. pots and kitchen utensils on a rail. When the wind blows they are all knocking together.

Merry Christmas. We are rockin' down the Christmas tree here. Very gusty so the solar panels are rattling. Poor tree got blown over. Not seen anything go flying yet. Hatches are firmly shut.

I think we might have to put the heating back on for an hour or so. It is getting cold in here. Wish we had a fuel gauge, Mind you the poo tank gauge says full. No way is it. We go 3 months. Only did it a few weeks ago.

So... what is everyone having for their main meal tomorrow? Eating out, staying home. I am interested.

Neighbour fed her dog steak. Apparently it now has a dodgy tum. Yep, we learnt the hard way not every dog can stomach human food.

Party food going in the oven. We decided to just have a nibbles tea as tomorrow we will be having a feast.

My little wonky tree out in the sun.

Gorgeous day out there, but blooming heck it is cold and rather windy.

Miss Monique is giving me my dose of doof this morning.

Our Christmas food has been delivered. Aside from taking the dog out I am not going anywhere for at least the next 3 days.

We need to get a latch or bolt for the door into the back cabin. The dog keeps letting herself in there. The door then swings shut behind her and she cant get out as she does not know how to pull a door.

Trains are all a tooting today. Mr suggested they have horns they can play a tune with. I am of the thinking that would get annoying really quickly.

We have a delivery time, so hopefully it will arrive and we will not be having egg beans and chips for our christmas dinner.

I need to go to bed. Light is fading as lights are on sensors and I suffer night blindness. I do not know how to explain it, just when it is dark I see badly.

Oh dear... I woke him up anyway. I had a sneezing fit. I often have these. Wish I knew why.

I would get up and dance, but that might wake the Mr. test press $ Franck - shoot to kill. Is making me so itchy to dance. That should be a resolution for next year. Dance... even though I am too old for clubs.

I am also reading about the people on hunger strike. All I have to say is David Lammy you are a coward and a cunt. Not sure cunt is the right word as he needs a stronger word.

This set is electric. I am amazed people are dancing so close to her decks. The sweat must be a bit of a scare thing.... ould be to me. Water and electrics not good.

Andrea Botez is now in my phones. The beats give me such a joy. I don't know if other people get this from their fave genre. I just smile when I hear the beats. I am drawn to techno, hardcore, Gabber and Trance.

What do people do when they have family who are religious. This religion demands you give money often to better yourself. You think it is a crock of shite. You love them but.... sorry to be vague, it is just hard this time of year.

Bloody wind just blew the Christmas tree over. I think in Spring I will buy a bigger pot and weight it more.

Watching Janet Street Porter on celeb escape to the country. I think I have finally found a woman who is pickier than me about property.

Techno Mambo No 5, very bouncy. In other news we no longer own 2 boats. That will save a bit of money every month. It will be easily gobbled up though as we get this boat how we want it. It will be a slow process.

Tunes this morning are being provided by ACINA.

Boaty tasks today, top up coolants, fill up with water and some cleaning.

I am so pissed off right now.

I am watching celeb MC Christmas thing. I already want to wring that over made up skinny girls neck. Her accent just grates on me.

Really hope our Christmas lunch gives us a delivery slot time soon. It is arriving Christmas Eve.

Just added Nicki Minaj to my room 101 list. Actually I need a room 1000001. I have so much to stuff in there.

Bit of Marlon Hoffstadt to wake up these old weary bones this morning.

watching the simon cowel boy band thing. It is so weird.

Apologies to anyone within earshot. I just let out a high pitched squeal. Went into the bathroom and there was a large black shape on the floor. Thankfully the auto light came on and I realised it was a bin bag.

Bought a really old final fantasy tonight for switch. It had a sale price so I got it for about £6 which I think is fair for such an old game. Wish I had kept all my old consols, they go for loads now.

I had a weird dream last night. It is still lingering in my head causing sudden flashes of dream memory. I really hate it. It is so tiring.

Boot room/back cabin is now much tidier. I am going to use it as my yoga space as there is just enough room to put down one mat.

Catching up on celeb masterchef. Grace needs to learn poker face as you can tell which contestants she likes most. I hope it is that and not production trying to make her look bad.

Last day in work for Mr, then he is off for a couple of weeks. Hopefully we can get a few things done around the boat.

How annoying. Heard a bird, did not recognise what it was. Kind of a long repeated peeep peeep peeep a bit warbley. Opened the Merlin app and the blooming bird stopped.

Better make sure my headphones are charged as Tomorrowland one world radio are doing the top 100 of the year today from about 11 (I think). I've been dipping in and out all week as it is a top 500.

Finally left my pit. Mostly because I needed a wee.

I am still in bed. I do not want. to leave the cosiness. I know I need to as there are dishes to do and the dog will want breakfast soon.

I am sorry, but that royal christmas pic. It is really horrid. The spring flowers, the shadows under eyes. You'd think with their money they could afford a bit of lighting.

Sitting in the dark looking at all the Christmas lights around us.
