So here we are at the end of Boxing Day and
all the family have gone home leaving the house quiet and peaceful again. The
day went quite well bearing in mind we had 13 for Boxing Day lunch. I have been
back to look at last years diary entry and noted that we did much the same last
year, although last year it was a slightly different group of people and the main
dinning table was a different shape. You see our dinning table is rather
cunning because it is two identical dinning tables which when side by side form
a square and when end to end form a rectangle, this year it was the turn of the
rectangle. After much eating and attempted party games and exchanging presents and
letting the cats in and out and in then out again loads, we ended by chatting
about stuff like the End of the world that did not start or end meaning we are
all still here, I did not tell them that in fact it did end and they are all
barcodes in an old Dell computer because it is Christmas and it might upset
them a bit. But all in all it was a jolly good day and all I need to do is work
out how I get back out of the Dell computer, I knew I should have drawn a map….
One of today’s treats was
the left overs of Harry Potters Owl which Mr Kris and Miss Tracy brought over,
so now saved in the fridge for a sandwich tomorrow is the left leg of Harry
Potters owl, as Harry himself would say eatimious yumiosus Whatever happened
to Harry Potter he seems to have vanished entirely now, still it could be worse
some fool might start making Hobbit movies . . . . . . . . . . .. AH DAMN.
Yesterday by the way was
seriously chilled most of the day, then in the evening we went to The Sun Inn
in Marton and had a brill Christmas dinner, so many thanks to all at the Sun
Inn
Sorry about the picture I
forgot to take one of the table while it was looking posh and all that is left on it of
interest in The Lost Orb of Atlantis.

Sounds like you had a wonderful festive holiday Rob Z.
ReplyDeleteMine was filled with far too much food and the televisual excellence that was the Doctor Who Christmas Special. Thereafter, I became fully acquainted with the porcelain God that lives in my bathroom. Well all those roast potatoes and stuffing had to go somewhere.
Yes I know, I share far too much. :)
So far I have not had the opportunity to indulge in television, I did hear that Dr Who was good though, so I might try and see it on iplayer. Too much food is something of a tradition, as I write this I have just finished lunch on the 27th and I have eaten Harry Potters Owls leg and am presently eating chocolate with a nice cup of tea.
DeleteYou have inspired me to figure out how to have two kitchen tables that are both square but when you put them together you stiLL have just a square. It was tricky at first but then I figure-d it out. Oh, just as I was fixing to push the Publish Comment button I figure-d out another way to do it, oh, siLLiness is the brain being at 5:55 AM. I like puzzles.
ReplyDeleteI too have worked out a method of putting two square tables together to make a square table. But I do have to say having a square or long oblong option is rather useful. I think I used the wrong word before but I was in a bit of a rush and have a scatty brain. My brain could be doing all sorts of things at 5:55 AM and I would not be aware of it, in fact it might have a secret life I do not know about.
DeleteIt does.
DeleteI have designed a few more two squares become one designs, and I think I wiLL write a blog post but I wiLL have to make some drawing and I am terribly busy today, so later.
Speaking of brains, I have found an entertainly-interesting neuron mapping online project at MIT, as part of my neuroscience studies. Go to eyewire.org or watch Youtube videos. We are currently mapping connections in a retina.
I will look tomorrow I have sort of chilled out tonight eating peanut brittle and being lazy.
DeleteI have spent a lifetime enjoy the moments of no momentum lazy, but I don't recaLL ever performing it with the accompaniment of brittle, peanut or other forms of nuttery. I am probably passing by the diner today to pick up my cake pan so I wiLL give Jesus your s'ggestions for cat naming, if he is there.
DeleteHow strange ... neither object was at the diner, my cake pan OR Jesus. I wiLL try again today.
DeleteWe put the kids to bed early on Boxing Day and stayed up late watching zombie movies. It was very festive. I can't believe that you ate Harry Potter's owl!
ReplyDeleteI don't think Harry minded that much he said it kept leaving mouse heads on his bed and pecking holes in the Lamp shades. Owls do stuff like that
DeleteHello Rob. I have returned to the land of the living after at 24 trip to that there Manchester oop north to visist Mrs H's clan where were force fed gammon and beef until our faces fell off.
ReplyDeleteThere was no room for pudding or even beer. there really was that much food!
Arrived back with stange boxes full of speakers for our new communal barn (pictures to follow in the new year).
Must dash now 'cos I've got a quiz to write down and get ready for Bumferry's Bingo Bananza tomorrow night! (more pictures to follow)
I'll be glad when this 2012 is over so I can catch my breath - its put years on me!... well at least one. hahahahahahahahahahha...
They do know how to eat oop north none of that silly southern designer dinners balanced on a plate with things drizzled round the edge so your sleave gets covered in sticky stuff
Deleteps- I do love that simon and Garfunkel song. Its one of my favs.
