What a Christmas day.
Well it's been about 9 months since we had any real rain, a shower about a week ago had been our lot, until today
3.30 am it started & we got the backlog all at once
I got up this morning & found due to the thick cloud & rain their was no electricity, started the generator which promptly developed a fault so then had to change it for the spare getting very wet in the process, finally got the house up & running so went to check mail, no internet, well on & off, turns out someone in my network decided as we'd not seen rain in 9 months it would be a good idea to put their inside fairy lights on a tree outside, shorting out the entire network
he's an electrician as well
At this point I would normally have gone back to bed to hibernate for the day but being Christmas day & due to be having lunch with my neighbours this wasn't an option
My neighbours, both profession chefs in a previous existence, laid on a fabulous lunch for 9 of us & 6 hours later I don't think I'll have to eat (or drink) again till new year
I think my trousers must have shrunk in rain because they fitted this morning
Hope you've had as great a day as I have

Someone had to do it, And Im glad it wasn't me this year for a change.
Happy Christmas Z.
My brother got a book with chat up lines and an Aachen (my home town) quiz, we had some fun last nigh as well.
How's the trousers Z?
Most comfy thing to wear lying on the couch.
Even sleeping alone and no one seeing my nightwear, I will NEVER buy one of them.
Why, do you have one Z?
I also have a favourite place to warm my hands.
if I have to.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Karen
And what did it get me?
CHOCOLATES
I honestly think you don't need contraception wearing them.
How was your Christmas?
No way Z
You wouldn't see me dead wearing them inside the house, let alone outside.
Something I never get is people going shopping in their pyjamas. I'm waiting to run into the first girl wearing a onesie to the supermarket.
Good night.
Sorry, had some things to attend too.
Dolls House and Garage went down a real treat, so much in fact she wanted to take back to her place so she could play 24/7...
She absolutely loved it.
The smile made it all worthwhile.
I Looovveee it when a plan comes together....
Mine was marred by a small unpleasantness, but it was ok after all.
