Hi Everyone,
Spent most of the day just chilling and recovering from the madness if Christmas. Hope everyone else is having a good time as well.
Definitely the tortoise! No contest!
Please, please, just a quick contest to give Oli Kahn a point or two.Definitely the tortoise! No contest!
Same for me (about Christmas). All my kids are married and moved away with their own families, and my daughter's kids are moved out of town. It's too much trouble to set up a tree and decorations when there's only you in the house. But my grand daughter in New Jersey takes good care of me! She called me at zero dark thirty (my time - she's 3 hours ahead), to wish me a Merry Christmas. Even though I was sound asleep, it really was nice to hear from her.Good evening roomies. I hope you all had happy Christmas days. I have worked the last two days and I am a little bit tired. I am glad Christmas is over. When you are getting older and have no children Chrtistmas doesen`t mean so much ( to me ). My family has gotten fewer and fewer trough the years. I miss my mother and my grandparents. Lovely memories of happy Christmas days I have had in the past and now are over forever make me sad. So I am glad that Christmas is over.
Today I`ve got a late Christmas Card from Yvonne ! @Yvonne G
Thank you Yvonne for your very personal and kind words. I say "dito".![]()
Do you have enough cats? They're wireless, and warm, and they snuggle right up against you when its chilly...Good evening Linda, hope you're well.
Oh yep: I simply hate, hate, hate Winter.You may/may not believe: when temperature reaches 40 degrees C (and sometimes more during heat waves), I'm fine so long as the lovely sun is not striking in my head.
However, during Winter, I am at home 90% of the time, I've the heating system on, I've an electric heater and all the rest, but I just cannot make it.
I do not think it's as warm here as you people in Europe think it is.We have snow here during Winter.

Sorry Gillian, you are asking too much. A British football fan can never like Oli KahnPlease, please, just a quick contest to give Oli Kahn a point or two.
Why not? I like David Beckham and I'm a fan of the German national team as well as Bayern Munchen.Sorry Gillian, you are asking too much. A British football fan can never like Oli Kahn![]()
That's difficult. I have many favourites for different reasons. David Beckham and Thierry Henry for skill and being all round nice people too. Brian Stein hero of the Littlewoods Cup Final who scored the winning goal for Luton Town versus Arsenal. The late Sir Bobby Robson for being one of the true gentlemen of the game... Sir Bobby Charlton gets that award too.@JoesMum , who is your favourite player?
Oh yep, as far as Sir Bobby Charlton is concerned.That's difficult. I have many favourites for different reasons. David Beckham and Thierry Henry for skill and being all round nice people too. Brian Stein hero of the Littlewoods Cup Final who scored the winning goal for Luton Town versus Arsenal. The late Sir Bobby Robson for being one of the true gentlemen of the game... Sir Bobby Charlton gets that award too.
Oli Kahn doesn't have the nice guy reputation of Beckham.
I forgot Kevin Keegan... a teenage crush![]()
