    I would often throw it on in the background. More often than not ending in me dropping what I was doing to watch some of them 😅

    Don't get the whole Christmas in July thing myself, and never really watch those 'hallmark' style movies anyway even when they come back in Oct/Nov. I know there are some on here that enjoy them though. Just not my cup of tea really.

    I love a Hallmark movie; they are just easy watching, you know what's going to happen & you can multi-task e.g. I crochet while I watch them & never have to worry about not keeping up. I also love that Netflix has thoroughly embraced them too.

    With summer gone & us into autumn the Mrs will be looking to change our door wreath! Must send that link on to her. Wouldn't have looked only you mentioned wreaths.

    I’m going for dinner tomorrow after work so naturally I checked the website and they had their Christmas 2023 menu up. It’s getting real now.

    John Lewis have their seasonal Christmas trends up too... as usual an interesting mix.

    Well it's the August Bank Holiday Weekend.

    It's the last Summery one.

    The next one will be in October.

    The Clocks will go back during it.

    A lot of the Christmas stuff will be out in the shops.

    Much as I love Christmas, I could really do with a summery, sunny August. July was a very damp squib and I am not ready for autumn yet!

    I'd settle for a dry August.

    Weather has been utterly depressing, if it just stopped raining for a couple of weeks i'd settle for that right now. Finishing work & looking out at it chucking down just makes the days so much harder to relax from. Surely we're due some kind of a run of dry weather soon... the whole year has been awful for rain with only the odd dry spell here & there.

    I have never minded the fact that it gets dark early in Ireland and the cold never gets to me either but there are people that the Autumn and Winter weather really gets to them. My wife and mother absolutely hate it. I bought both of them UV lamps a couple of years ago and they weren't cheap.

    Do they use them? Do they f**k! ha ha 😃 I think they like complaining about the Winter as well though ha ha

    Hope everyone has a great long weekend.

    My mam has one of those lights lol. I'm contemplating getting one this year. I never used to think that the dark evenings or miserable weather got to me but I found February and March this year to be absolute killers.

    I'm lucky I don't have to be up early in the morning. If I'm being honest the darker morning kind of help me have a lie in.

    I see a storm is forecast.... in August!! FFS.

    I'm dying with a proper dose of a Headcold and a lung ripping cough so am not in.the mood for any more misery but it's the year that keeps on giving.

    Anyway, hope everyone has a nice Bank Holiday weekend, even.if it is to.be wet and miserable out.

    Ah no. Hate when that happens. Usually happens us at night and plays havoc with house alarms 😆
