Monday
Holy cow, (this comment is neither meant to offend Christians, nor those who worship cows, cow gods, cow deities or any other powerful cow spirit). December 25th is less than two weeks away today. Which goes to show if you don't pay attention, time slips by very fast, or unless you happen to be on the event horizon of a black hole, very very slowly.
Anywho, finally got my stuff mailed into the immigration today, so I'm sure that it will arrive just in time to be put in the "we are away on holiday will open later box."
Though it is done, the last of the ice is melting, just in time for the new dump later this week. Hopefully it will be a White Christmas this year, last year, if I remember correctly, we did not have snow until the late afternoon of Dec. 25th, and it was a pretty big dump of snow!!!
This year plans are to celebrate on Christmas Eve, so Christmas day will have to be decided what to do for lunch or dinner, at this point in time, i'm drawing a blank.... But being stuffed with turkey from the night before it probably won't be any more turkey.
Maybe roast beef and yorkshire pudding, that may be the way to go, it will be for only four of us, Roanna, I and Roanna's parents.
Anyway, been an exciting week for the news, 150 tons of fuel on fire in England, which I am sure will in some way shape or form make the oil company big wigs jack up prices again!! One plane crash and one runway overrun, it just has been an interesting year for aviation. Kinda makes me worksick right now............
For some strange reason I want to make some deviled eggs for the parties this weekend, I never have made these though they seem pretty straight forward, and pretty darned tasty. Plus (to me anyway) these things seem to be very 1950's, the heady days of pipes, smoking jackets and martini's at the door. Which goes lead me on to another quick story, I buy the ULTRA LOUNGE CD's, lots of 1950's and 1960's music, in each disk they usually list about three cocktails that you can make, which generally go like this, 1 ice cube, 95% alcohol + 5% juice or mixer, shake / stir, garnish, taste add more alcohol if necessary. After reading these, I always wondered how the 1950's made it into the 1960's with 85% of the population being half in the bag all the time.
Anyhoo, everyone enjoy the season, in which ever way you celebrate it.

Yeah, that's all those people in the 50's and 60's did was sit around drinking cocktails all the time. They all kept bars in the house. Guess they had nothing else to do. No computer and shitty TV. Might as well drink!
Ain't nothing wrong with that. I guess that was the reason for those bloody big tanks....err cars they used to drive.
