I spent xMas at MvdM. and W.’s this year and had a great time. I went over at 14.00 and met Stuart [no not the Stuart] who arrived shortly after me and who was there for dinner as well, an ex-colleague of W. with a heavy Scottish accent [Glasgow]. I normally don’t have a problem with the Scottish accent but this time, well ehrm…*hmm* must have been the champers on an empty stomach. No I never learn but it wasn’t my idea this time: I can blame MvdM. …
MvdM. had been to the Lowlands for three days previous to xMas and brought me back two jars of delicious Sambal Badjak which I am eternally grateful for, thanks deary! I guess it’s time to prepare some Indonesian food again some day soon. I helped MvdM. cooking and it was all worth waiting for [3 hrs] although I was starving since I was told not to have breakfast and/or lunch. We sat down at 17.00 and had a wonderful meal [those sausages in bacon and the stuffing: to kill for… *mmmm!*].
Later that evening more friends of MvdM. and W. came over and we all [ten of us] sat in the lounge near the warm fire and the beautiful blue tree with a blue haired Barbie pinned on the top. Drinking wine and chatting. It’s been a relaxed xMas this year, no hassle, no fuss, just how it should be…
My job [plus all twenty invisible taters in that big pot on the right]…
Don’t mind helping out coz I was hungry *hehe*
Mau running around like a headless chicken; timing, timing, timing my dear…
Blue on xMas day
Keep the fire burning baby…
Big bird and roast. Oh and let’s not forget the liver gravy and champers…
