Hi Everyone,

Hi there @csno1

I have just done the very same and been for a brisk walk around my neighbourhood.  By 'eck though, it's turned cold    I think it's time to get my big coat out!

Other than working, I plan on relaxing later tonight and catching up with I'm a celeb!  I also have some Christmas presents to order online so I'll try and snap up some of those.

What do you have planned for the rest of the day?

csno01

Thats great Cher. 

I an currently using my waterproof coat as I just had my winter coat dry cleaned and I dont want to get it muddy just yet. Lol. 

This afternoon / evening I might make a start on writing my Christmas Cards. I have the majority of my presents already, just a couple left to get now. As for this evening, I will tune into His Dark Materials, followed by I’m a Celebrity. 

Happy Shopping!

I’ve just shopped online, bought a hairdryer to give to someone else to give to me for Christmas, ha ha. My old one has two cables showing and though I’ve repaired it before I’m afraid this time it must go, don’t want any shorting out thank you! Mind you the old one lasted over twenty years!

Nice to see everyone has had a productive day. 

I have also been for a walk with a family member and the dog

Now I’m playing World of Warcraft classic while browsing this forum

@leeCal eeeeh! 20 years?! You got your money's worth there 

@csno01 What is 'His Dark Materials' about?  I've heard others mention it.  

@66Mustang Sounds like a lovely day you've had there

Hi @66Mustang

I dont have a dog myself, although I saw a lot of dog walkers on my walk.
i havent played World of Warcraft myself, although I have heard a lot about it. I have also seen the film.  

66Mustang

@csno01 I haven’t seen the film. Is it any good? I know it has the actor who played the main character in the Vikings series in it!

csno01

Hi @Cher_Scope,

Hi Cher, 

His Dark Materials is a Fantasy drama based on the book by Philip Pullman with the same name.

@66Mustang,
I will say it is watchable.

Had a rather productive day today.

I finally mastered the Taekwondo pattern (I think) and recorded footage of doing it right for the Club competition and hopefully the next grading.

Also I managed to score even more achievements on Tetris and also Star Renegade on Xbox, still top of the leader board on 765 points so far this month.

And the video camera actually works, even though it's a cheap 4K video camera I bought from Wish.com about 8 months ago and I actually ordered a better one on eBay last week that's coming between tomorrow and Thursday.

Also don't tell Mum and Dad bought I ordered an Echo Show on Amazon last night, paying £12 a month over the next 5 months instead of £60 in one go, it's their Christmas present, basically an Alexa that plays videos as well as audio music, it's coming tomorrow so I'll have to hide it.

Hi @MrAllen1976,
sounds like you have definately  had a productive day. How long have youbreen doing Tykwando For? I dont do marital arts myself but I am aware of the different kinds. 

Will you be getting a new Xbox? I am aware the PS5 got released this week. I have a PS3. 

Ross_Alumni

Sounds like a very productive weekend for you @MrAllen1976! Do you play Tetris on the Switch or is that on Xbox?

I'm sure your family will love the Echo Show, we have the Google equivalent in our kitchen and it's super handy for playing things like YouTube or live TV whilst we are cooking or doing general kitcheny related tasks.

Also, to answer the original question, I'm good thanks @csno01, how are you this Monday morning?

66Mustang

@MrAllen1976

That’s a generous present, I’m sure they will like it

Xbox Series S mate.

The new video Alexa device is coming today, just had the email from Amazon.

Ah right, I have the PS5 pre-ordered @MrAllen1976, at the moment considering what games I should get for it.

And that's good, hopefully you manage to successfully hide it from them

Not much chance of hiding it mate, they'll see it when the Postie comes with the socially distanced delivery from Amazon.

As for PS5, are you a Spiderman fan? That's the only game I know of, Spiderman: Miles Morales.

Ross_Alumni

It will be hard but I'm sure you will be able to blag your way through the situation, just make sure you're the one answering the door @MrAllen1976  

I actually only saw the film a few weeks ago but I enjoyed it. As far as the game is concerned, it's definitely on my radar, as is the new Assassins Creed. My brother has Spiderman and he is enjoying it

@Ross_Scope I told them I'd bought their Christmas gift but not what it is.

I'll wrap it up when I get back to the Flat, I have some wrapping paper I bought last year in the Airing cupboard.

@Ross_Scope

I am fine thank you. I have had a productive day. I hope you are well too?
