COLD DARK ROOM

[Kristoff]

Can't we set up a few CHE's for warmth in a corner somewhere?

And it’s still dark?

I never drew a comparison between a tortoise egg and a CrackerJack box before, but it would seem fitting. lol

I’m not sure I would put the words “egg” and “cracker” that close together [emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]

Aaaannnnnddddd I have caught up with myself. I was obviously not running fast enough. It is 23.30 and almost Monday. Lena's favorite day of the week. So I will say good night and hope that Monday is a good one for everyone. I just have to get through the next 3 weeks then I will be on holiday until the 17th of Jan. I can't wait.

And I will leave you with this:
Daughter: „Mom, can I get a cat or a dog at Christmas, please?“ Mom: „No honey, you will be getting turkey, like every Christmas!“

That's kinda how my mind rolls. Scary ain't it?

You fit right in. [emoji23][emoji23]

Hmm not much to catch up on this morning. Everybody must be tired out from their awesome weekends.
Monday morning has started off with rain. Yayy. I just hope that the heat goes up by the time the power cuts off in my area for load shedding.
I wonder what Christmas song is on the agenda for today. Last night I decided to watch two Christmas movies to get into the Christmas mood but this morning has dampened it a bit. (It is Monday, back at work and it is raining) although I AM grateful for the rain.

Whats on the agenda for me? Not much work to do so as soon as I have completed what I need to complete, I will be working on my calendars as I finally have all the necessary photo's from those I need.
So from damp wet Cape Town have an awesome day.

Whats the difference between the Christmas alphabet and the ordinary alphabet? The Christmas alphabet has Noel

Do keep your spirits dry.
The calendars you’re making are awesome. We had a relative who did it, but he gave up unfortunately. Same reason as yours - some people just wouldn’t send pictures and birthdays and just didn’t seem to care, which made the whole effort too much trouble.

[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] about “Noel”. Goes straight to my 7-year-old heart!

Why is the letter E the only letter in the alphabet to get Christmas presents?
Because all the other letters are not-E.

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

So below the belt to mention the school holidays, Linda!
Looks like you’re quite an eBay entrepreneur. [emoji23]
Good luck with finding your friend another present, and with laundry because we all know what comes after that... [emoji33]

Day 3 of my Christmas iTunes playlist has brought up The Wombles!

Those were the original green activists, right?

 

[Kristoff]

Oh Lena, where are you? You must be enjoying your weekend. Anybody else awake besides Linda and myself?

Sorry. I was catching up on my sleep. Not in the literal sense of running around my bed. You know.

 

[Kristoff]

Poor mummy !

Indeed!

 

[Kristoff]

What is this discrimination? All days of the week deserve equal treatment and equal opportunities to be loved.
There, there, Monday. They don’t mean it. You’re the best. [emoji85]

 

[Kristoff]

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.

The trouble with eBay is while lots of stuff does go out, plenty new stuff can get in. Hope you’re stronger than me [emoji85]

 

[Kristoff]

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.
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?

Why is everyone looking at me?

 

[Kristoff]

I would be very satisfied with a hot chocolate.

Ah, you’re not looking at me. MONTGOMERY! Here, boy!

 

[Kristoff]

Modern day crisis yesterday - I’m pretty sure our microwave warmed its last beaker of water yesterday afternoon. Was heating up some water, then strange noises started to exit the machine.....followed by an acrid electrical smell. Water wasnt even warm. It’s now unplugged - search is on for a new one. Early Xmas present for our house.

It could have been worse - it could’ve happened to @Lyn W (God forbid)!

 

[Kristoff]

[emoji24] [emoji24] I checked yesterday and I have not received a single one yet. Seems the SA post office is better at sending them out than receiving them.

Similar to PostNord. I only have two cards so far, but then the postperson usually comes once a week, if we’re lucky.

 

[Kristoff]

I have three Russians in the oven right now. One month as of today, and still developing.

In the oven??

 

[Kristoff]

Tin hats necessary for the school run? [emoji33]

Fortunately drop-off went smoothly, without an incident. No tin hats necessary yet, because in Denmark even the army doesn’t start its work day before 10 am. (Hope I’m not divulging any state secrets here[emoji33])

Wibble

Wibble.
We miss @Tidgy’s Dad too.

I had to fuss at somebody this evening. I found a fur ball in the bearded dragon tank. Apparently Miss Pixie decided she wanted to visit. Fortunately, the bearded dragon did not seem terribly disturbed by her checking out the inside of his tank... with him in it.

[emoji33] You are lucky Miss Pixie didn't decide to "play" with the bearded dragon!

 

[Kristoff]

Pixie loves to hang out on top of the bearded dragon tank. He doesn't seem to mind when she's up there. View attachment 258767
However, tonight is the first time she's ever gotten into the tank.

She looks very cozy on top of it. (I’m sure it’s warm.) Did she learn to open it?
