I came across some poetry that's at my intellectual level:

Would you like to sin
With Elinor Glyn
On a tiger skin?
Or would you prefer
To err with her
On some other fur?

Or maybe decline the event
As your libido's already been spent.

Short video of the waves breaking on Bwlchtocyn Beach yesterday.

It was a gorgeous day, very calm, and the car told us it was 10C so pretty warm!

Have some more videos, but it's very slow uploading from here!

That looks really serene and restful Maggie. If there is a way of looping that I could fall asleep watching it as the waves make a lovely soundtrack. May need the loo in the night mind.

No mugs for Christmas.

Chocolate gifts received have been put into a tin on the top shelf of the pantry. A tuckbox for the months to come.

Mince pies finished, ahead of us we have a stollen, 2x pannetone large HM Christmas cake.Typing that has inspired me to make pannetone bread and butter pudding for Wednesday lunchtime.

gave away the rest of the qualiy street yesterday.tree chocolates not touched

A vat of turkey stock and 3.5lb of turkey meat, for soup, curry and today's dinner of turkey and leek pie

lots of cream left and marscapone. Have boudoir sponges, so may make tiramisu.

unopened pack of smoked salmon, due to expire 30th, and have cornered the market in cream cheese so smoked salmon pate for starter on Weds I think.

Have enough White cabbage , carrots and onions to supply catering companies with coleslaw.

I hve already sent dd's bf home with a food parcel.Will cook and make up meals for two sets of elderly neighbours, as there is too much food here.

On the upside we have run out of earl grey teabags.

We have a party on Saturday but I will need to buy and make fresh food for that . Will endeavour not to over cater.

A German man died on Christmas Day after blowing up a condom dispenser with a homemade bomb in a botched robbery, police say.

The 29-year-old and two accomplices attached the bomb to the vending machine in a quiet street before taking cover in their vehicle.

But the victim did not close the door in time and was struck in the head by a steel shard from the explosion.

Thanks Viva! Here's another 3, and there's a couple more currently uploading, one of which I think you may particularly like.

Had some problems, as one of the videos YouTube didn't recognise the format. So I deleted it and am trying again - it's exactly the same file type as all the others, so I'm hoping it was just a glitch. It uploaded fine to FaceBook yesterday Shrugs.

I will catch up on the last few days tomorrow, I promise.

I have a meeting with the CAA tomorrow, so I'm trying to get paperwork in order before then, so I don't walk in looking like a complete idiot

Just driven 450 miles. Expected trouble in Cumbria but none whatsoever. Loads of trouble getting from London to Oxford on the M40 and also from Birmingham to Manchester.

Bring back the cheap shuttle flights (oh wait a minute they cause global warming climate change and rising water levels).:think:

They are all lovely Maggie and v peaceful. Unfortunately my browser decided to intersperse them with really noisy ads for video games, which spoiled the effect a bit.:(
