OOOOOH ! We have that one too , thanks to one of our very generous "gang" !Talal said:1 -
Took youngest grandson to the panto at the Trinty Theatre, TW last night.
Absolutely brilliant ! You can keep your Palladium visits where the "stars" seem more interested in keeping their own fanbase happy...This wasn't an amateur performance but actors mainly from one or more of the Drama Colleges/Schools who are plying their trade at venues across the country.
One of the best bits was the cast of less than 12, doing "The 12 Days of Xmas" with "5 toilet rolls !" when we all had to stand up & sing the words. But THE best was " On the 12th Day of Xmas" when one of the fantastic Ugly Stepsisters was handed a large water/nerf style gun....with everyone in the audience thinking " Oh right. Here comes the glitter!" ....only to find it was water ! Hilarious watching people duck down in their seats to avoid getting wet & youngsters squealing.
Worst bit was, following gorgeous locally sourced ice cream at the interval, said grandson was puking up on the way back here for his sleepover, and again , and again.....so had to keep him upright & awake until well past his bedtime to make sure he was done.
Put up 5 sets of lights ( 4 inside/1 outside in what our neighbours every year call The Burning Bush)but for the first time in about 48 years, decided against setting up the slightly tatty tree. Not having Xmas with the family here so not many will notice its absence but a milestone in our lives
5 out of 7 of the terrace's Ladies that Lunch, had a great catch up over dinner at Cote last Thursday which is becoming an annual affair.
And drinks at one of those neighbour's in a few evening's time. Hic.
Think that'll do until this time next year. There's only so much excitement I can take these days !

Going to my first Julbord tomorrow. It's a Swedish traditional feast meal, meats, fish, lots of deserts all washed down with glögg.
This kind of thing.....
Never been in Sweden for Christmas, so will be a novelty now I'm here most of my time. Due to have some snow tomorrow, so it's starting to feel festive.
By the way, me and the misses are vegetarian so I won't mention that to the chef. Don't want him to spit in my overpriced vegetables.5 -
I bought a bottle of Port for the first time in years - and thanks to you - I've just opened it! Plenty of time to replace ... as you say.Stig said:Started early on the bottle of port that I was putting by. Bought another bottle of port.1 -
