On the first day of Christmas, Blamebrampton gave to me ...

Two blackboards, and a pair of fat chickadees ...





Well, chickens really ...

The chickens come from Oxfam, you can read about them here ...  and here ... while the blackboards are from CARE Australia, however I fear I cocked up my email address as I have still not received an ecard from them. But they go to schools in developing countries and are a great low-tech way of teaching children and adults!

And yes, there will be presents every day between now and Twelfth Night! (It is quite probable that after a few days of this, the definition of 'present' will be stretched to its limits and people will be receiving limericks. At which point, remember that I started well with chickens!)

Did you hear the one about the little chicken, who went to say hello to his mother one day, and
found her sitting on a seville orange instead of an egg?

He ran around the yard squawking 'Look at the orange mama laid!'

We had a very quiet day, but with plenty of lovely food for just the two of us. Saturday I'm doing the big roast Turkey dinner.

Didn't even get to the pavlova today. *sigh*

More for tomorrow, I guess.

*sends love to you and J*

I cannot top that joke! Did you get to the pavlova yesterday or today?

And we send love back to all of you!

We had some last night, and the rest will be on offer alongside the giant boiled pudding this evening.

*argh!*
