Morning!
Lyrics: Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
Lyrics inspired by Els and OH and lack of heat!
Second and third lines.
Yesterday's were Pete Seeger with Little Boxes.
What: probably short and easy
Why: run to feel

On a lyrics streak, 2 days in a row!
Off later for now traditional Christmas Eve run. Reminds me, need to find my Santa hat
What: just over 5km
Why: route is 5km but have to get to the start
Oh and els, you need to layer up, you must be freezing up there. I'm guessing he won't be able to come before Christmas now? I remember last year when our heating broke, Lucas' room was 12C! Our friends were all worrying about their children's rooms being under 20 😂
Last day of work today then back on 4th Jan.
Have a lovely day all
9 degrees in kitchen when we got up....boiler repair man is doing his best but hasn't come up with a solution yet. Makes you lazy as nicer to stay by the fire than go and do stuff.
Enjoy your Christmas Eve runs.
Off to get a bit more more milk and cheese then run with friend make cranberry sauce and meet up with work colleague briefly to give her a gift.
Completely forgot about making bread yesterday....oops!
Glad you are getting better wabo....tough to have any energy in evenings after bein g unwell.
Brrrr.....was a light sprinkling of snow last night but gone now.
My modest contribution to the daily baking thread..
Problem with roll-on icing is getting things attached to the top - the holly bits have spikes but the wee man doesn't - he is too tall for my cake carrying thingy so has to come off for storage anyway.
Think that is only the second traditional cake I've made.
Just over 7km in the end. Very icy in places and one bit about 3 inches blow my knees with water! Did find my hat so kept warm!
Just had a long bath to thaw out as my feet were pretty chilly after their icebath!
Hope heating man can fix it for you Els.
Lots of flooding here too emzap but no ice fortunately. Hope Lucas allows you to sleep tonight.
Hope you enjoyed your run alehouse.
What: short and easy
Why: I want to run on Xmas day and Boxing Day too
Last hard: finding some enthusiasm for Xmas
Last rest: 23/12
Lyrics - probably but I can't name them. Should have got yesterday's too.
Not run yet, apart from to the bakery for 7! Freezing: quite a queue at that time and didn't get served until 7:35.
Then rest of the morning largely in the kitchen, plus moving furniture and tidying. More Stollen, mince pies and Florentines baked. Gave quite a few away as presents so was running low. Early lunch prior to running in about an hour.
No swim again today.
Heating still broke.
Last hard: see above
The blue ball on my neck is just a (muscle rehab) spiky ball masquerading as a Covid19 virus in a jibe at the antivaxxers.
Els/OH feeling your struggles with the heating. Is it possible to wear all the jumpers you own at the same time? A festive challenge for you!
Hazel - cake looks good & more bakery skills from Ale
What - club Christmas Eve run - smaller groups of 5 or 6 to keep social distancing
Why - traditional run
last rest - 10/10
last hard - Tuesday
lyric - yep
Technically still working but been very quiet all day, so that's me done until, erm, Tuesday...
Also as expected we're into tier 4 from 00.01 on Boxing Day, so bang goes the group training booked for this weekend.
Bit muddy out there this morning, at least I wasn't the one to fall over.
I'm on the far right
Beats my mud, Dustin! Just liquid here, mainly.
OH: I would wager that you do know the lyrics, and in fact may well be singing them whilst you sit in front of your open fire!
What: 25 minutes
Why: to turn the legs over. The river banks and nearby were the busiest I have ever seen, many of whom were in large groups and not socially distancing. Obviously ok as we are in tier 3 and it is outside and it is Christmas.
Enjoy the festivities, Chick and anyone else celebrating this evening.
Shopping rather pointless as cheese shop wasn't open and last min pressie wasn't in stock. Ah well.
A little bit of white stuff here and there and a lovely 6.3 m with F.
Then made chestnut stuffing and cranberry sauce and had a lovely catch up with the office staff from work....hadn't seen some since retiring! Wasn't entirely sure if I was allowed in!
Late lunch and FS husband turned up with a bag of logs which are giving a lovely heat in the fire and indeed also nice that they did that....we have plenty coal but v nice.
Now need motivation to leave fire! Got to start a sourdough loaf as I forgot ! yesterday!
Have a good Christmas Eve all.
Don't know the lyrics but like the sentiments. Btw Peter is alseep in front of fire as I type!!!!
A shame about your group runs Dustin - looks as though you made the most of today though.
I didn't realise you'd retired Els - thought you'd had your jab as a frontline health care worker - you're far too young to have had it in England otherwise! Nice friends with the logs - enjoy the fire. You've reminded me, I need to bake soda bread in the morning to take to MiL's to go with dinner.
Hope you get the heating fixed so you can swim again soon OH.
There has been lots of that going on here too alehouse.
Nice photos
Keep safe and well all
Bit warmer here tonight! Have a good evening all.
