The annual fair...... I'd love to be there.

Nelly you're right, it is a fair.

I can see the top of a ferris wheel in the background.

Whatever it is, it's been there all week and in the still shots I have as of yet to see people.

some sort of fair going on?

just noticed now- you guys were here Nov. not Dec. 30..........

Hi MD Hi Mira wow looks like we have snow everywhere-Im happy-love winter-the cold & sniow- I used to be an Eskimo in a former life

Yup.... all good in the 'hood!  :))

To quote a well worn phrase ... "It's all good."  :)

Mira... some of my friends and relatives thought I was crazy to leave a well off, dependable chap but I have no regrets. Some people are meant to be on their own.... it just took me a long time to discover that I was one of those people. My hubby has replaced me with 3 cats... make what you will of that!!   :))

In truth, these days I suspect most people would envy your lifestyle more than mine, MD.  :D

Mira..... same here.... but after 19 years I decided it wasn't for me. I'm very happy for you but not envious. My hubby still visits, bringing gifts, takes me out.... and shopping. I enjoy his company but in small doses. I think he still holds a bit of hope but it will never happen. He wouldn't put up with me staying up until 4am and now I've tasted my freedom I'm not giving it up. This last 5 years is the first time I've lived on my own and I absolutely love it.  :))

LOL Trix and MD!! :D   That's the nice thing about re-marriage in later life ... we adapted to eachother's established habits and found common ground that we could both be comfortable with.  :)

OMG MD....soooo true!!!!!!

Trix... it's you and I who got the grunts.... the runts of the litter even!! LOL

HAHAHAHAHA......maybe she understands the language of "grunt"....sorry!!!   sounds like you did hit the jackpot Mira :D

Mira.... you are so lucky you have a husband you can ask questions of..... and even luckier to have one that replies. Getting a correct answer really means you've hit the jackpot!!!!  :))

Hubby is a Franciscan and also has a masters in theology ... so I just asked him if there was something significant about today.  ;)

Solved....... next!  :D

Yes ... the church sounds like the best explanation ... it's the first day of Advent in the church calendar, so they probably had a special service. 

The street opposite is full too. Maybe something going on at the church....    Also, lots of people walking about.
