Cos there's a soccer match.

Hey, Carruthers! Nice to see you here!

Wowzer!

It was. There was Lola Bunny. There was not Santa with or without his underpants. Jim sang a song. A good time was had by all. See you at the solstitial intercourse.
 

I'm trying to use the "special" stuff. We used to keep the fancy crystal glasses that were a wedding gift from my MiL for birthdays, festivals and other celebrations. We now use them every weekend. But we need to up our drinking game as we're only using the red wine glasses (and have broken two in 18 years of marriage) and champagne flutes, but we also have whisky glasses, highball glasses, brandy balloons, port/sherry glasses (six of each). We have no-one to leave this shit to, after all.
Same with "special" clothes - I've only got a limited amount of time left to enjoy wearing them so I should just wear them!

It would seem so. For the record, I'm not familiar with it, either.
 

I've worked from home for years, but now I go out on interpreting assignments a couple of days a week or so. I try always to take a packed lunch and it's almost always the same thing: a (cruncheh!) peanut butter and cheese sandwich, a few tiny tomatoes, a box of dried fruit and nuts and a bottle of water. Sounds dull but I like it, I don't have to think/make decisions and it's quick to put together. Now that winter is here I've bought a chubby flask and may sometimes take some homemade soup. I did the buy-a-sandwich thing for many years when I worked in an office in London, and I really don't relish (see what I did there?!) returning to it.

Great! Keep 'em coming!

Can we do Sunday 17th instead? Same time, same channel??

Efficiently exploring the cellar now requires knowing the current date, and being able to quickly determine how many days have passed since a previous date.

I’m not retired yet. But I have gotten rather blasé about the date. Maybe this will prompt me to pay better attention. ;)

That's not what I find ... When I am logged in on a PC on this page there are two things I can click to see what's been going on since my last visit: "active topics" at top right-ish, and "active topics" below the list of boards. YMMV.
 

SARGE!
