Hello Lyn. "Chatter box" is a very nice expression for what`s going on here.

Good morning roomies. It's Monday. Lena's favourite day... Well, until the school holiday starts anyway
I have a whole load of eBay stuff to post out today which will keep me busy. I also need to find an alternative Christmas present for a special friend as what I ordered is now not going to be delivered before early January [emoji35] I need to cancel that order and have a brainwave as to what else I can get her.
Other than that, Monday is laundry day for me. Necessary but not exactly exciting
Good morning Linda! I meant to tell you a while back, THANK YOU. Your first eBay story about selling your sons game console inspired me.. so I made my first sale on eBay last week.. I have now found a whole new world for lots of stuff I need to get rid of! Good luck on the Christmas shopping.. sadly, i’m no help there.
Me now!!!
Nothing until now, but it is not over ..... LOL !
Good morning Sabine!!! Glad to see you posting in good spirits! My son & I watched the original “despicable me” a few days ago.. the look on his face when he realized that was the first minion story was priceless! We are a big fan of minions here.. I could use an army of them!
Hello Carol. Yes, I know.
I was doing my singing exercises the last days to present perfect Christmas songs.

That does sound very confusing.Good morning roomies.
The weather in Germany is crazy. It is 55 F ! Is it winter or spring ????
Oh, me toooo! Overcast, but no rain. Luckily we had some windy conditions a few days ago and the mounds of leaves have vanished. Still plenty to go round. More winds up to 20 mph, will help more with leaf removal, but it’s also bringing in colder temps. Yesterday, it was hovering around 60F for a good part of the day. Still shorts weather.
Good morning Heather. The minions are so cool ! I`ve seen all 4 movies.
How are you and your critters ?
I go through phases of selling stuff on eBay. I don't like to waste anything, so I think through:
- eBay
- Car Boot Fair
- recycling
- charity shops
- freecycle/freegle: We have a couple of websites where you can offer things to a new home free of charge. I have rehomed everything from rockery rocks no longer wanted in our garden to furniture via a large quantity of sanitary products that I will never use due to my age and that my daughter didn't want. I even gave away 4 rubble sacks of mixed cables from my office at work (I swear they breed in IT rooms [emoji3])
It's a similar temperature here, but the wind makes it feel colderGood morning roomies.

Another Caravan-Serai recipe - Day Two of the 12 Days of Christmas
Harries Lamb Pottage
https://www.arabamerica.com/recipe/harries-lamb-pottage/
Wheat is usually used instead of rice in preparing this dish, but for many rice makes for a richer dish. Serves about 8.
Place lamb, spices and the remaining water in a saucepan and bring to a boil, then cook over medium low heat for about 2 1/2 hours, removing any froth that rises from the meat, or until the meat is very well cooked and falling off the bone, adding more water if necessary. Add soaked rice with its water and salt to boiled lamb, then cook for another 1 hour or until both rice and meat are well cooked, stirring often and adding more water if necessary. Remove from heat and allow to cool enough so that bones can be removed. Place in processor and process into paste. Return mixture to saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring all the time. Place in a bowl and spread butter over top and serve.

Yayyyy. Soon the CDR will be filled with Christmas songs and jokes. Heather sorted out the christmas tree lights - just remember if you bump into the tree give it a shake to light up the jellyfish string.Hello Carol. Yes, I know.
Linda has started on the songs. I have started on the jokes and Mark has started on the food. Anybody want to start on the drink?
