Hi, Rusty!
The sun is still shining!
I have had a quiet morning, but am feeling somewhat rejuvenated now, so may do some tasks!
I have a number of outstanding small jobs that I should... and will!... ......tackle!!
I also have to make a few phone calls on behalf of my husband to postpone or cancel commitments that he cannot keep, whilst he is unwell.
These things cannot be helped, I am sure people will understand.
You were asking about "Cold Feet".
Yes it is a television series of long standing; the first episode was shown in Series One in 1997.
And it continued for a long time , until about (if my calculations are correct) 2008.
It was resurrected last year, ten years on in the participants' lives.
I have watched it from the beginning....James Nesbitt is great in the programme.

Good evening, Elle!
I am sure folk will understand that your husband can't make commitments.
Good that you told them.
I like James Nesbitt, a fine actor.
It is still quite mild here, but the temperature is due to fall overnight.

Good evening, Rusty!
Goodness, I am not sure where today has gone.......
My "relaxing" day went out the window!
I have been fired with enthusiasm for "sorting out".....
What with that, walking the dog and incoming phone calls , the day has whizzed by.
Most of the calls were from family and friends, but one gentlemen appeared to be speaking to me in Arabic.
My telling him that I could not understand simply inspired him to speak louder!
I never got around to doing the crossword!
Was it a good one today?

Hello, Elle!
You have had a busy day!
Not me!
Though I did have a bit of a clear out of unwanted stuff.
Some for charity shop, but most for the skip.
I did the puzzle hours ago and I think it was OK.
I have forgotten it now, though!

Hi, Rusty!
New Year's Eve tomorrow......
I have not yet come across anyone who is planning to celebrate it.
Maybe further north of here, there might be more enthusiasm?
My cousin used to go first -footing!
But as you so rightly said earlier, New Year is not what it once was!
And I unfortunately have had to cancel the New Year's Day birthday party for my husband, as he understandably is not feeling up to it at the moment.
Maybe we can have a belated celebration at later date.
How about you?
Any plans for tomorrow evening?

Hello, Elle!
It's not New Year's Eve here, tomorrow, it's Hogmanay!
I have always been an advocate of "no planning" at New Year, for it never seemed to work out.
Best take it as it comes, is my way of thinking.
I am starting early, though.
Miss O and me are going to Pine Cone tomorrow morn, after that I have no idea.
I am not going out (I don't think) in the evening, but will be here after the bells if anyone wants to first-foot me.
It's a pity you had to cancel your husband's party, but he comes first, and a party can be held at any time.
You are wise!

Good morning, Rusty!
It was still quite dark, when I went out with my dog this morning!
Dry though.
Yes, sorry......Hogmanay!
You are off to a good start with an outing to the Pine Cone with your granddaughter.
Now...you will be interested to hear that Sainsbury's has emailed me, several hours in advance, about two (possible) substitutions in my delivery order.
In both instances, they have suggested perfectly viable alternatives.
I can return these with the driver, though, if I do not want them, and the money back will be added to my card.
This sounds fine to me.
Roll on one o'clock!
Have fun with Miss O!

Good morning, Elle!
Back to winter here.
Hard frost and it's pretty cold!
I will be interested to hear about your delivery!
Sainsbury seems to be switched on, anyway.
Off soon with Miss O.
Hope the road to Pine Cone is OK.

Hi, Rusty!
Just dull, dirty, and squelchy underfoot here!
I went looking for a commemorative magnolia tree, this morning, planted in the park by the daughter of a friend, in memory of her mum, who had recently died. After dog and I ploughed through a considerable amount of mud/ mulch in the park, we eventually found the tree......guided by the purple ribbon tied around the trunk!
I shall take some flowers next time we go.
How was your trip to the Pine Cone?
I expect it was very busy...
Did you have a long wait for a table?

Hello, Elle!
It is a great day here, but cold with hard frost.
Pine Cone was fine.
Not too busy, today.
I think most folk would be home getting ready for the celebrations later today.
The young ones are all going out!
I think I am staying home.
There is a live ceilidh on BBC Alba to bring in the New Year.
I hope to tune into that!
