It's a Tuesday here in old England - I've not been out side, but it seems quite a warm day... hard to believe, a year ago, we were knee deep in snow !! Oh well..... another Tuesday & another year !!
So - how have your Christmas's been for you ? Ours was just a little family thing..... just the four of us, then ME's boyfriend came around after lunch, to say "hello" & to bring some more pressy's over. The latter were mainly for ME & she was well happy with her lot !! She then went back with him & had the night with his folks & another Christmas feed !!
As I type, B has gone into town to meet her Cousin, J & ME are still in bed.... leaving me alone, to type these words. It's going to be a very quiet day - for me - & apart from some TV.... well, as usual, I have no big plans...... tho', I think I better have a little tidy up, my computer table is a mess - again !!
Christmas Day was good. We didn't go to Church - which I would of liked to have done - but, had a nice family day here in the homestead !! ME was a little surprised by B & yours truly.... when she got out of bed, we were dressed & watching the 'Muppet's Christmas Carol' DVD...... It's become a bit of a tradition, we always watch the Muppet's on Christmas Day !! Not usually sooooo early in the morning, but we enjoyed it - as always !!
As for pressy's - well, I was spoilt rotten, as usual !! I'm playing one of them at the moment... Seasick Steve's 'Walkin' Man' Cd !! It's the best of his work - but, all of his stuff is a good listen...... This set came with a DVD, as a bonus disc, which was a great surprise - it's over 2 hours long !! Most of it being a concert - so that was a goody !! ME gave me a pair of 'Sennheiser' headphones & I'll try them out later.... I've not had a set of 'phones for soooo many years, I can't remember !!
She also gave me a 'Wilfred' hat !! If you have no idea who 'Wilfred' is.... well, check out the web site, it's a TV show & is well funny !! I'm going to look really stupid wearing it in town, but - it's really good !!
Everybody seemed happy with their gifts, J got the leather jacket he's always wanted, ME got so many things - I can't really remember them all & B had a few surprises....... like a DVD of 'The Hairy Bikers' & a few different things from 'Hotel Chocolat' !! It was a great family day.....
But, we remembered the important thing - to celebrate the Birth of Our Lord, with-out who our lives would be so empty........ He is our lives, in our home & with us always !!
I see that several of you have logged in today - thank you for reading...... I've been a bit tardy, not writing anything for a few days, but..... again, thank you for reading !! It really is a weird feeling, to know my words are being read around the World, by so many of you - especially as I have only given 2 of you the address, the rest of you have just 'found' me & keep coming back !! Thank you again !!
To try & help B out a bit, I put some bed sheets in the washing machine..... she was going to change them today anyhoo. Well, I think I might have over done the washing liquid - the front of the machine, the window bit, is full of soap bubbles and there is soap coming out of the tray thing - at the top, where you load the powders & liquids !! I think I used a little toooooo much liquid in...... oh well, I'll have to give them an extra rinse I guess !! I'm sort of "house trained" - but, this time, I messed up !!
I was just looking in the kitchen - nearly all the mince pies & cake has gone !! There is some 'stollen' left, but that will probably go by tomorrow !! The chocolate log, that B made, didn't even make it to the table & is now outside feeding the birds.
As B was sorting the turkey out, some how, she dropped it onto the log & smothered it with the turkey juice !! It was a real mess !! B has promised to make another one for New Year, so all is not lost + the birds get a nice treat !!
Oh well...... I better away - I've got to try & sort out this mess of washing !! I ought to call the local fire house & get them up here to suck the foam out with their hoses !! Nahhhhhhhh - I'll find a way to clear it up - I'll get the kids in to have a 'foam party' or something !! Until next time.....
Bye Bye
