A late call in from me again, but hope everyone got through Xmas Day unscathed and had a more relaxing Boxing Day.
I went for a lovely walk through some local woods with a friend to blow away the cobwebs before slaving over a hot stove again - no rest for the wicked!!!:rolleyes:
Lola didn't surface at all today but ate a plate of food I pushed into his hide - I think he's enjoying the room service too much!!!

Now the main event is out of the way I can concentrate on enjoying the rest of my holiday - bliss!!!
Speak to you soon
Nos da!

Typical cat behaviour. If there's a box then a cat WILL fit in it [emoji23]

Ok...so... my Christmas gift idea (kitchen sink) went over really well (breathes sigh of relief). Better than I expected actually. I live to tell about it! lol
Excellent :)


I bought my Mum a DNA test for her birthday. It was one from Ancestry and she had said she wanted one. We both thought it was funny [emoji23]

Good mornooning all! The family and I are going to the pantomime today.

Pantomime is a great British theatre tradition. It's a family play held at Christmas usually based on a fairy tale. It's always funny, always has a man dressed as a woman in the main comedic part (the pantomime dame) - eg Cinderella's ugly sisters, Prince Charming's mother. The lead male romantic lead (usually Prince Charming) is traditionally played by a woman. There's always a baddy to boo and hiss at (Captain Hook, Abanazer, Wicked Stepmother) and there's always a Fairy Godmother type character. The humour is very British, lots of puns, but suitable for young children; although some of the jokes will be aimed at the adults in the audience and go straight over the children's heads.

We are seeing Snow White :)

How fun!!! I love theater. Especially fantasy.. combine that with comedy and you can’t go wrong. There is not much closely accessible to me where I live though.

Good morning All! We had a tornado pass through last night so I was up soothing scared critters for a bit. Doesn’t seem to be much damage so I think we were among the lucky ones. We are still under a river flood warning but I think all the weather is going to clear out in a couple of hours for the sun to shine. CRAZY weather this time of year [emoji15]. On another note, I’m feeling a little nostalgic today. My surprise son turned 5 on the 9th, my hubby 42 on the 21st, and now my baby girl is 16 today... I can’t keep time at bay.. I’m sure blessed with a family that makes me proud.

Happy birthday to your daughter and the birthday boys!
Time does fly doesn't it?
Glad you avoided damage but it must be pretty scary - the strong winds here worry me when we have them - which is an increasingly regular occurrence now!
