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

Nothing to spill my friend.
Something that happened off-site that had an effect on everyone else. But all turned out ok in the end.
goodness , you had excitement yesterday in more ways than one !
How's your waist line today ?
no , no onesie , or twosie or even a threesie
How's you today K ?
Doing what I planned to do, catching up on sleep and food, will actually do a couple of things from now on.
Hope Santa brought you something nice.
yes indeed , I am having a very lazy day today
There's things I probably should have done today -but they can wait !
Yes , Santa was incredibly kind to me --more gifts than I ever expected
I am sure Santa was good to you too K
no sneaky
you are so thankful for even the small gestures -- they mean the world to you
Enjoy the time you have with your family dear friend --make the days remaining count as I know you will
Yes , I am sitting in my living room in front of a cozy open fire --and I'm gonna have some Bailey's and loads of ice shortly !
Sir Z , is now on a diet K --you and I will watch over him that he stick to it
I don't see my family that often, so I do appreciate time spend with them. Still have to catch up with my cousins and oldest gods child over the weekend.
Z looks skinny enough, some good food won't do him any harm.
I have a small confession to make ,,, I've just had a trifle pudding myself a few minutes ago
It's Christmas ,,we don't have to feel guilty
so Sir Z , leave the 4x4 at the door and jog a bit each day
