Good morning everyone, it's once again a bit blustery outside so another day I recommend you just grab a blanket and veg on the couch in front of the TV.

It's exactly one month until 🎄🎁 🎁🎄and all I've heard from Neil this last week is a countdown until he can start to open his calendar. I then saw this on another page and it made me chuckle a little more than necessary so I thought I'd share with you all so you can name and shame your friends with the same issue.

If you're in the mood instead of the Christmas one, I highly recommend visiting the Cole's of Andalucia, Almería Property Specialists where you'll find some of the loveliest in the area:

Good morning everyone. The really announced itself over the weekend with frozen underpants first thing yesterday and today the w̷i̷n̷d̷ ̷i̷s̷ ̷b̷l̷o̷w̷i̷n̷g̷ ̷a̷ ̷h̷o̷o̷l̷y̷ w̷i̷n̷d̷ ̷i̷s̷ ̷b̷l̷o̷w̷i̷n̷g̷ ̷a̷ ̷h̷o̷l̷i̷e̷ w̷i̷n̷d̷ ̷i̷s̷ ̷b̷l̷o̷w̷i̷n̷g̷ ̷a̷ ̷h̷o̷o̷l̷i̷ wind is really bad making it the type of morning that just makes you want to wrap up warm indoors.

Now normally I'd recommend a Monday is the perfect day to pop into the Cole's office in to talk to them about but today I suggest it's best to not leave the house. Instead, grab a cup of tea, maybe a biscuit if you're feeling adventurous, your laptop and browse the Cole's website to see some of the best properties in the area.

I'm off to grab a blanket as well so I can snuggle up on the sofa. Whatever you're doing, if you're out braving the wind or cosying up at like me, have a lovely day.

I know it's not as cold as a lot of places but it feels arctic out there this morning. I half expected my to freeze before I could drink it.

Mission accomplished! I have a happy chappy all ready for the celebrations to begin.

Thank you to all of you who suggested where to find an for Neil and especially Stuart Peers who suggested Action. We didn't manage to find a K Pop Demon Hunters calendar but as you can see from the photo just a few minutes browsing around Action and we found a Paw Patrol one that Neil liked. Look at his beaming face!

He's now counting down the days until he can open the first window and how many days that includes.

Although it's a bit wet and miserable outside today, I hope you all have a day that makes you as much as Neil has been since we got it.

It appears that my post this morning may have been a little strong for a Monday morning so I have decided it's best to remove it to avoid any medical emergencies.

I apologise to any of you who did find dancing offensive.

My original meaning still stands though: Have a lovely Monday xx

Good morning everyone, it's another chilly morning and not even the sun is making an appearance to help warm me up :(

It's getting towards that time of the year when it's always dark and everyone has their decorations up so I need to get Neil an calendar. It's a priority as the last time I forgot in 2019 there was the great Car Park Standoff and he's still on a warning from the Policia Local in .

I haven't spotted any Paw Patrol and his new favourite is the K Pop Demon Hunters but I've not seen them anywhere either. Can anyone make any suggestions to find either of these as I don't just want to get him the generic Lidl one?

Whether you're out buying advent calendars for your other half or just relaxing at home, have a lovely day.

On this day 107 years ago at 11am the guns finally fell silent on the First World war after more than four years of fighting and between 15 and 22 million deaths. The Second World War was even bloodier taking between 70 and 85 million people. Many of us today have no idea of the horrors of war and hopefully never will.

Today I hope many of you will join us in partaking in the 2 minute silence at 11am to remember the heroes who gave everything so that we may enjoy our freedoms today.

Lest we forget
