Perfect viewing for Krampusnacht...

Credit where credit's due. This is pretty good going for December. Somehow I don't think it will survive tonight's wind and rain...

My neighbour (who helped me get my decorations down from the loft) has said I need to pare them down. I did that last year... Tbf, I only have the tree, a very small wreath, some strings of lights and a small carolsingers tableau. I don't know how much more pared down I could be!

Brought down my Christmas decorations from the loft. Trays for the critters are empty 👀. Mr Pest man is booked to come and refill them...

Seems about right..

Found myself reminiscing with my pilates teacher about fitness fads of yesteryear. I remember this sketch though I never actually went to a Step Aerobics class (I was more Jane Fonda aerobics).

I don't know what happened to today: overslept, pilates briefly, exhausted, fell asleep. Not made it off the sofa...

Fell asleep on the sofa watching Downton Abbey. No idea in which episode number *sigh*.

An hour ago, on Sunk Island in East Yorkshire, the sky lit up with #aurora. Dancing pillars and vivid reds to the naked eye, despite the almost full Moon! Welcome to winter! 💃

2 Dec: In #Norse lore, Frigg watches over marriage, fertility & motherhood. When her son Baldr fell to a mistletoe arrow, she knelt beside him in grief. Her tears touched the bare sprig that struck him, and each drop turned into a white berry—a reminder to cherish those we love.

Two festive friends are hiding behind today's door... Who could they be? ✨ #RSPBAdvent25

One for @snowfloe.bsky.social I think.... #sqrlpix

Worst was definitely: 'Do you get paid for that?'

You've got to love a local paper: everything from being disturbed by werewolves at night to the discovery of a cannabis factory.

December’s berried gifts.

I couldn't agree more. Also one for @chrisrowbury.bsky.social I think..

Oh this is lovely...

On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a partridge in a pear tree. Ate it.

#SundayPixBelovedCritters Not one to miss out on an aperitif..

The windmill on the marsh. Winter is a truly beautiful season in many parts of the UK, including here at Cley-next-the-Sea. The sky is big and the air is clean and crisp. #Cley #Cleymarshes #Norfolk #coast #winter

I set an alarm for 8am. How ridiculously optimistic to think I would still be asleep by then..

Sensible people have gone to bed, haven't they? Unless they are out on the tiles (which I'm not).

Feeling blue..

@cookiespencer.bsky.social - forgot to include you in the reply!

France hosted a large musical flash mob featuring 100 musicians who came together to perform a new orchestral version of Carol of the Bells to mark the ceremonial switching-on of the Christmas lights in the streets of Paris.

Just been treated to the Vixen's call (no. 2 on the video). Normally they just make a strange coughing sound 👀.

If you’re in central London over the next six weeks, there’s a Snoopy Trail in the Fleet Street Quarter. I’ve illustrated the map that shows where all 12 Snoopys are…

I have never seen 'Home Alone', 'Die Hard' or 'Elf'.

The car is in at the garage but sadly not all the mechanics are (due to illness). I shall be crossing my fingers it gets done today..

I've done my music gig (care home). I'm very tired now. Might have to have a kip..

this is amazing news - the HPV vaccine promises to eliminate cervical cancer in countries where uptake is high.

I've broken my thunder shaker 😕. Too much heavy use...

Honestly! Woken up by the sound of a falling ladder belonging to a window cleaner who isn't here, at a house I no longer live in.

There was a strange niff in the air when I got home... of unknown origin 👀. I have lit a Christmas scented tea light.

I think I stopped recognising stuff at 'magical programmes'. The perils of growing up...

Is it me or is Bluesky having an attack of the vapours this morning?

I see that disabled people needing a little help has raised the ire of the knuckle daggers today. I do hate that my illness is so inconvenient for people I've never met.
