COLD DARK ROOM

[JoesMum]

Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas Dan! I hope you are having a wonderful day

 

[JoesMum]

Yup, i ran.
Only just back!

There you are at last. You have been tiptoeing round for the last day or so. I am glad you have joined us in the CDR; our Christmas is complete

I think Montgomery has fallen asleep after overdosing on Christmas pudding, but there's still some port left in the decanter. I'll pour you a glass now

Yesterday was drizzly all day, so I didn't work outside at all. And now today, the leaves are probably too wet to do any raking, so I guess I'll have to stack some wood. I got a nice pick-up load of wood Saturday and just tossed it out of the truck onto the ground. I stacked about half of it Saturday, but there's still more to put up. I didn't make a fire today because it's not all that cold in here. No rain (read drizzle) today, but it is overcast and not very warm. . . but not exactly cold either. Probably good working outside weather.

So I guess I'd better get to it. Just wanted to tell you all how much I enjoy sharing your lives by reading about you here in the CDR. And I wonder if @Tidgy's Dad would be interested in writing a paragraph for our Christmas story.

Ooooops!
I love writing stories or bits of them.
Bit late.
Sorry.
Merry Christmas, Yvonne!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE ! ! ! !
Will be in to speak to you all soon.
Chaotic today, usual Christmas tuff and Zak came back from France to visit so we were four for the day.
Lovely!
Life's good!

I'm a little late for those in the UK and similar time zones, but Nadolig Llawen (Merry Christmas) everyone

It's been a hectic day for me cooking wise - the only lunch I cook a year - but it went down well and so far has stayed down!!
So my nephew and I survived it, yaaaaaayy!!!
I have just driven him home so I am having a few glasses of wine and finally managing 5 minutes to pop into the CDR to say that I hope you all had, or are having, a lovely day and that Santa was good to you.
Time for some catching up reading now, so not see you soon, TTFN

What a beautiful day!
It's been very grey and damp here with low mist all day, not a good walking day at all.

 

[Cowboy_Ken]

Congratulations Todd.

Well done Todd. If y’all don’t know already them baby tortoises love to eat damp paper towels and they are very effective in clogging them up. Danger! Danger!

Well Richmond, VA has logged its rainiest year on record since they started keeping records since 1872. Not a record I ever hoped to see broken-it sucked literally!

Hope not too much damage was caused by it.

Merry Christmas Adam, Wifey and Tidgy!

I'm hoping it goes over well. There's nothing she really needs or wants...at least none expressed. I bought tickets for a 3 hour Winter Wonderland dinner train ride for the two of us for an anniversary present. Maybe that'll make up for the sink if it doesn't go over well. Lol

Wish I'd seen this earlier - would have suggested something more personal to go with it - like some nice gloves.........

 

[Lyn W]

So I've spent weeks trying to figure out a good gift for the wife. I finally decided on a new kitchen sink. The one we have is one of those cheap contractor grade sinks they put into new houses and is only 6" deep. The one I bought is 9" deep and would be much more efficient.

She's not into jewelry, and frilly little gifts like that. She enjoys practical gifts. I asked a bunch of females I know including the neighbors wife what they thought of the idea. Opinions seemed pretty positive, so I went for it. What do y'all think?

I like more personal gifts for birthdays but prefer practical gifts at Xmas.
I hope she liked it and didn't wash her hands of you in it!!

 

[Lyn W]

And I bought myself a xmas gift. Now just have to figure out how to use it. As I have never used it before.View attachment 260281

Oh no!!
Kitchen gifts like pots and pans and cookery books are a definite no no for me!!
