Welcome home

Thanks... Our Sully is happy that we're home. Enjoying some fresh greens and pumpkin and basking under his lamp.

Salmon filets are now secured for tomorrow's lunch, smoked salmon for tonight.

Sully is happy, wifey is happy, and i just topped up our bird feeders with extra suet n seeds so they are full into the evening and start Christmas Day happy.

If we're not too tired we MIGHT go for an early AM Christmas morning paddle.

Here's a pix of the quiet Potomac River outside of Quantico VA early this morning.

Oh Wow. That is beautiful. It looks so peaceful.

Do you have any prawn pets?

I do not, but I plan to get some cherry red shrimp to put in Jacques' old tank once she's moved to her bigger tank.

 

[Moozillion]

I am sure Jacques was very thankful. She also wants a nice Christmas lunch.

She's on her own, there. She' s not very fast, and her aim is not great, so I think the only reason she caught the one that she did, is that the water in the tank was low, and all the shrimp were clustered together in the same end she was end to avoid my siphon.
I'd be REALLY surprised if she caught one in the open tank.

East Peckham Silver Band warming up in Hadlow Square before the carol singing. It stayed dry and relatively warm.

It’s about half an hour before Santa reaches Carol in South Africa and Gillian in Jordan.

Merry Christmas all!

I never heard of this. What a wonderful way to miss the traffic, yet still have your car when you get to your destination!

In France, we used to used to use MotorRail (AutoTrain in French) to take our car to the south. Board at tea time in Calais and wake up to breakfast in Narbonne or Nice. It was brilliant. Unfortunately it was also very expensive and the service was discontinued. We have to drive now.
