Having just looked at the BBC weather app for Ramsgate,
which says; “Today Sunny with heavy rain” This is no bovver for me as we have
done our boxing for Boxing Day and are back home in the gap period when stuff
cooks and we await more people turning up. No chance of snow as it’s about 10 °C,
no chance of sun as it’s nearly dusk, and it certainly doesn’t look like it’s
going to rain. Of course, it’s supposed to snow at Christmas, isn’t it? I have an arrangement
over the god bothering, I don’t ask for any miracles or thunderbolts, so I haven’t
prayed up and complained – about no snow that is. When I was a lad it was that
cold that there was ice on the inside of my bedroom window, I remember cold
feet and hands, but don’t remember it bothering me. Warnings about chilblains
and not running it under the hot tap. Actually, and thinking about it, here in
Ramsgate – i.e. after we dfl’d, so in the late 1960s, so late ladhood, it was
pretty much the same as now. The big freeze of my childhood 62/3 was before Ramsgate
and I was in some unknown convalescent home with masses of radiators, so while I
was alive and saw the footprints in the six-foot snow, I wasn’t init.
So happy Christmas from all of us here in the bookshop, we
will be open again tomorrow and closed again on Thursday, because it’s Thursday
and not because it’s a bank holiday and closed on Monday because it is. Same information
– different way of saying it on Saturday’s bookshop blog, at http://michaelsbookshop.blogspot.co.uk/2017/12/merry-christmas-from-michaels-bookshop.html
We have had the laziest Christmas I ever remember, our
oldest children being quite old and even our youngest children being fairly old
I have to admit that it is only now, late afternoon on Boxing Day that the
turkey has finally made it to the oven.
Here are some wintery local pictures, not this year and not now
obviously.
Still battling with changing phones, New Motorola XT1604 Moto G4 Play, not favourite over Christmas, I honestly can't say that it's either good or bad yet.
Here is the screenshot of the weather app from auntie Beeb
Eg. the Christmas selfie stick that failed on some expensive phones, worked on it, straight away.
the camera onit is either good or bad, some good pictures and some bad but i haven't mastered it, going to try it with A Better Camera app.
The photos on my bridge camera card for the last couple of days are a bit odd, so maybe me, see the next few as representative, as I said lazy Christmas.
Of course you can't take this sort of picture with a phone

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
