It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas Off Topic Chat

BBC THREE have a Christmas film on ,Lost at christmas and its not American! and i haven't seen it before.

The were only bought "recently" as in last 10 years. Picked them up in Arnott's. The baubles were in the 10-20 euro for one price range ...sounds a bit dear but nostalgia and they look lovely...I got a bauble and one that looks kinda like an old fashioned spinning top.

I tried to google them but not getting a hit.

I know I've never seen it, but is that the one where they get lost in Scotland?

Very/Littlewoods have their stock up but the site won't let me add a link.

This little girl looks like she's trying to murder a little polar bear!

I don' think we have any Waterford tree stuff. It's mainly Tipperary or newbridge, most are gifted. In BT's shop was a weird Reindeer which I absolutely loved. If I could get him home I would have gotten two for the porch.

With all the messing around with flight cancellations last night half the attendees at my meeting in London couldn't make it so I get off flying tow days in a row. Though I will not be able to recreate lovely actually in Heathrow! Fly back tomorrow to Dubai, hoping my newbridge decorations arrive before then.

Yikes, hope you're on the mend @Loughc, hot milk and pepper should stop the trips to the jacks.

I fly tomorrow at lunchtime and am hoping the back log is cleared by then.

My daughter and her friend were due to fly back to Cork yesterday and they got a message saying that flight was cancelled and they were rebooked for tomorrow evening. They contacted Aer Lingus customer service and were told that they would cover their hotel for the 2 nights and meals (within reason). She's not back to college until next week so it's a bonus few days in London.

Working from home this morning and it's the first time in a long time I've thought about putting on the heating! You can really feel the change the last week or so where I am in the South East.

And how quickly it is getting darker in the evenings. I went for a walk just after 8pm last night & when I was crossing our road at 8.40pm, I was conscious of how dusky it was...was very glad to have my hi-vis on!

I can remember having to turn on the heating in July just to take the chill out of the place to be honest.

On a more positive note, August has flown by about 3 times quicker than July did.

Had a great time in London even with the Flight cancellations, got home eventually last night and will hopefully get something back from Ryanair. AEW was amazing and is returning next summer

Waterford Winterval have updated all there social media platforms 😛

Wife had two bags of Summer clothes that she wanted put up in the attic about an hour ago. When I was up there I looked across at the Christmas decorations and thought to myself, won't be long now. 😄

Well some of say it Autumn now others say it's on Friday.

I didn't get any trip to the seaside/beach this Summer. Between work and just the weather. I might get one in September but working a lot of it.

Another thing about this Summer was we didn't have much of those endless Summer days. I love going out later in the evenings for walks/etc.

Just saw an ad saying The Great British Bake Off is coming soon.
