A very Merry Christmas!
I had a theory that there would be another chapter of Tidings of Comfort today.
And that laughter you are currently enjoying is my gift to you :-)
Maybe by St Hilary's Day?
I hope you're all having a most wonderful time. We have had a lovely and calm one, with Christmas salmon and a ridiculous amount of chocolate. I did set fire to the kitchen very briefly – a teatowel, really – but had it well under control when Mr B came in, picked it up and tossed it out the back door, proclaiming, 'It's raining!' Which it has been constantly since last night.
I am not joking about the chocolate. I asked Mr B for a Fitbit and electric keyboard. I received instead some lovely jewellery and this:
That frog is about 10 inches long. He will be receiving a lovely new desk chair when it arrives, and has a new game of Kubb. Which Cookie has laid claim to:
She is still sitting on the open bag. Apparently she is super keen on Scandinavian games!
Buon Natale to all!
PS It really is raining solidly, and has been humid for weeks. Our house is too small for a tree, so I hang the ornaments on termporary hooks on the wall. One by one the removable adhesives have been failing, so Christmas Day ended and Boxing Day has begun to the relentless sound of gravity working upon ornaments. It's like the sound of paeonies splatting in the summer heat ;-)

I love how asking for a Fitbit results in chocolate :D

Speaking of chocolate: there's this chocolate sold in there, it's koala-shaped and filled with melted caramel. Now, I'm not usually a fan of caramel, but I lurve~ it when it comes with that chocolate. Every time somebody I know plan to visit Australia, I make them hunt down those chocolates for me.
And now I want one.

It's been way too warm around here for this time of the year. We've had sun and + 15°C yesterday where it's supposed to be snowy and cold.
We don't have a tree either, we instead cut off a branch from a huge one outside and brought it in to decorate it. It looks very nice.
Also - Lindt bears! :D

Teatowels are the only thing I burn trying to put out the fires I create via the help of chemicals on other objects. I just mentally checked what textile I could grab with least remorse if a candle I just put up attacks its surroundings.
And my Kobold would so very much like Cookie's whiskers (she currently manages to have 3 that are about 2cms in short and haven't been removed by her sister yet).

Pats to Cookie et al. My boys have kindly refrained from sitting on the pressies they gave me which included a Miss Fisher Cluedo set:) I shall be testing it out with Ms A and Mr Squish in a few days time.
Enjoy chocolate, Kubb, and the teatowels which survived the Christmas sparkle incident.....:)
