COLD DARK ROOM

[Lyn W]

Where does our modern view, as it is, of Father Christmas come from?

'Twas the Night before Christmas
When all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse,

Morning all - a busy day for me today so just popping in.
Quite a bright day today in Wales.
Glad you're ok John was wondering where you were.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

Morning. Busy here too.
I'll catch up later...at lunch time.

 

[Lyn W]

Not into fizzy.
Coffee for me, every time.

Not too much fizzy for me either.
I like coke if it is a mixer with a nice JD, voddie, rum, Barcardi (not had that for years now I come to think of it)
or even a brandy etc
But too filling me as a big drink.

See you later Ed.

'Twas the Night before Christmas
When all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse,

The mazuri was soaked
In the kitchen with care,
In hopes that St. Tortoise
Soon would be there.

@Gillian Moore I wrote a long PM and it won't send! So frustrating!!

Hi, Kathy.
Hope you and all your family are fine, especially the new addition.
To PM Gillian you will have to use an old PM if you have one and add the new stuff to it.
Don't know why but new ones seem blocked.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Before you know it you'll have a summer at this rate.

Yep,1823 poem by Clement Clarke Moore and illustrated by.Nicholas Nast. Before this he traditionally wore green and white.
Coca Cola helped popularize the image worldwide, but they weren't even the first soft drinks company to use the idea.
White Rock Beverages used it to sell mineral water in 1915 and then ginger beer in 1923. The Coke campaign began in the 1930's.

I do like Jack Daniels.
Yuuuummmyyyy.

Morning Michelle.
Busy planning a quick break holiday.
Wifey fancies Gibraltar as it's not far and she's never been.
So Gibraltar it is.

Oh that sounds fun! When are you going?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Thursday or Friday, i think.
Just for three to five days.

That's a nice little get away, I'm sure she's excited

Yes, she wants to feed the monkeys mostly, I think, which is crazy as we can do that near here.

Brave lady. I feel about monkeys the same way you feel about camels

I don't mind monkeys, but some of these are pretty big.
In Morocco, they're sneak thieves and will grab your sandwich and leg it.
In Gibraltar they can get quite aggressive and threatening, so wifey might be in for a shock.

They scare me for some reason
