careful, Persie :-D :-D

Good morning all!

I did notice that you served brunch yesterday Sylvs and though I had got my days mixed up but I didn't say anything as I thought you might cancel it and it was SO lovely to sit and eat it in fromt of that roaring fire!!! ;-) <3

I will have to pile my plate high and 'run' today as I still have grand-daughter here and she is waiting to play 'Uno' and make trifle and make scones so I have a busy morning ahead!............

See you all later,

Dea Xxx

P.S.

I will, of course, be back in plenty of time for that WONDERFUL New Year's Eve Dinner!

Dea Xxx <3

That a big dinner menu Sylv, even when Deas here to help!

I cant decide what to eat but will have a think on and let you know.....than you

Is it NY in Canada already?

Sylvs is about 8 hours behind us Gins - when our NY strikes, it's only 4pm on NYE for her.


That looks wonderful Sylvs..........kinda glad I'm not going anywhere tonight with that to look forward to. <3


We're still finishing off bits from yesterday's celebrations but I'm sure I'll find room... ;-)



Persie.....how nice of you to be so nice.... :-D :-D :-D :-D


Nipping to see DIL later - it's HER birthday today.....it was my mum's birthday today too.......so, a few years ago, we had three birthdays in 24 hours. :-S :-S :-S

Thanks Cyns......that explains why Sylv is always 'a bit behind' :-D

Had a great day yesterday.

Yes it was all in one day.

I would have loved ice skating at one time but it would be foolish for me now.
I watched the others though.
Grand daughter had one of the penguins to help her.
Sat in the coffee bar to give his presents.
Not ideal but the best we could do this year.

I think you can see a picture on the other side.

Too exhausted to venture onto the other side to look at the picture at the moment LK but I am SO pleased that you all had a good time !

Dea Xxx

Glad it all went well LK. <3


Apart from cooking a meal, my time is all my own for a while :-D :-D


Daughter has gone to her brother's for NYE - we will just go to bed at about 10.30pm. I guess.

Its the first....all of us (mates) are staying in this NY...none of us can be bothered!


Glad your day went well LK

Is that because you has all got 'the poorlies' Ginns or is you all just getting old like me?? ;-) :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! [ooops... am I in the wrong time zone ... no one else here!!]

OOOhhh 'knock it orff' Laines !!!

You are not in the wrong time zone, just nearly 5 hours too early !!!

HOWEVER, as I will be in bed well before 9pm - your New Year Wishes are just in time!!!

Happy New Year to you too !!! ;-) <3 :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

Happy New Year to you too Dea!!! <3 <3 <3 however ..... I did mean for the wonderful FEAST!!!???
