... never saw ANY TV at all !

Just a great family get together.

After the usual excesses of Christmas Day, nice to get out for a bracing walk on Boxing Day (went to see the annual raft race in Matlock - thousands there as usual).

Then ... the snow ! Felt so right.

no tv?

poor thing- missed Royal Variety Show & Queen's Speech

I think I MAY survive !

My induction hob conked out half way through cooking the dinner.
I called my husband to switch it off and back on (it re-sets it) and five minutes later he confirmed it was broke, so I had one ring for everything, and consequently things were overdone or soggy. (I would have been fine with one ring if I had known beforehand)
Anyway, I just laughed it off and encouraged lashings of gravy and cranberry, and then stayed up all night poring through lists of hobs to choose a new one.
Next morning the electricity had to be turned off to put a lamp in and GUESS WHAT FLAMING HAPPENED?
Yep.
The hob came back on because the stupid great wassock hadn't bothered to switch it off at all!
I will be getting a new one anyway. For spite.

I didn't take part, Pat !

Its an annual charity event ... all kinds of silly rtafts (most sink in the freezing water !) race from Matlock to Cromford (about 2 miles).

Even the police take part (and don't seem to mind that the local kids pelt their raft with flour bombs !)
