We are headed out on our new boat to test it!
We are meeting friends who have a boat and also invited a soccer family.
We will eat lunch and just cruise around the “lake” it’s actually a dam that’s about 10 minutes from the house.

I’ll report back later.
I hope everyone has a lovely day!!
Sounds like a lot of fun. Don't forget the photo's.

Pahleeze! Actually, he calls me his tortoise wife. But yes, that's who it is. He doesn't like me to mention when he's coming in case nefarious people go to his house when he's not there. But: attention all you nefarious people - his wife and mother-in-law and adult nephew will still be home!!!!!!!!!

I know you're not finished yet, and the marks on the new guy's face are just for you to use for 'sculpting' but I like the painted faces better than the artificial eyes. Your sculpted figures have a look of being old, but adding those eyes takes that old look away.

Yes...the googly eyes are just for the snowmen..I’ll have to try one with just a painted eye... tks for feedback.

Oh, racoons ? They are a big problem in Germany. I don`t want them around my house. They are cute but can be pretty nasty. When they are tamed it can be interesting having them.:)
I heard about that on the radio and they're causing massive damage especially to cars.

Hello all just popped in to catch up and see if anyone is around

My food prep went well this morning. I started with a stilton pie (Stilton is a blue British Cheese) which we had for dinner tonight, as we do every Christmas Eve, with jacket potato and salad.

The juice drained from the cranberries cooked in port is delicious over ice cream. So that sorts dessert too :)

I also stuffed the turkey with sage and onion stuffing in the crop and sausage-meat stuffing in the main cavity. And I made stock from the giblets. That’s now all in the fridge ready to cook tomorrow.

We went for a walk round a local lake this afternoon and then joined the villagers of Hadlow to sing Christmas Carols in the village square accompanied by the local silver band.

So now we’re watching tv before turning in for the night :)

Enjoy the rest of your day and remember that doesn’t visit until you’re asleep! ;)
