Agree. I caught 3 colds this year by passing people while not wearing a mask.

Actually only four of them were murdered. The two older girls weren’t living there at the time.

Murdered by two low-life ex-cons, Dick Hicock and Perry Smith, who were robbing the place.

The aroma would certainly be more pronounced, and you’d at the very least get contact traces of lemon from your fingers while peeling.

Meanwhile, the “Gluten Free” fad has also made things difficult for a couple of the coeliacs I know who have complained about restaurants jumping on the GF bandwagon and not actually making sure their products are in fact GF.

Customer: “This item here – it says it is GF… just how GF is it?”
Waitress: “It’s Gluten Free, Sir.”
Customer: pulls epipen from handbag “OK, if you’re willing to administer this if it has any gluten, I’m willing to give it a go”
Waitress: Balks “I’ll just check with Chef”.

some time later

Waitress: “Chef suggests you choose another item, maybe the salad?”

I have no idea. I just have a friend who has a rather severe reaction to it. While their reaction is more severe, I am sure coeliacs would also have issues with the lack of care.

My sister isn’t anaphylactic but she gets a reaction similar to severe gastro for a few days.

Maybe the person with the epipen is allergic to something else and was testing the restaurant?

It’s not particularly easy to photograph my Christmas window, but there is a night portrait mode on my camera. This is as good as it gets. I put some more lights in so you can see the three little clowns on swings now, if you look carefully.

………………..

I have set up a Christmas tree in the window with a white blanket behind it. Nothing much. I’ll take a photo when it gets darker.

I went for an evening walk last night. Some of the houses around here have gone absolutely nuts, but some really good and artistic things. Whole front gardens have been done in those little fairy lights, even a few trees. they look pretty.

I like little lights in trees. I’ve done it a few times over the years. The disadvantage is that the trees grow and stretch the wires and bust them. I’ve recently put some solar lighting on the verandah to light up my pottery owl:

That is a permanent thing.

I had fairy lights in the weeping elm. But a gale force wind killed them.

I put one of those solar lights by Buddha and accolyte under the big gum tree too. Surprisingly, it photographed reasonably well! You can’t see the weeds if you turn off the flash…

My lame efforts. Just what I chucked up this afterynoon. They loo a bit lame compared to what’s down the street.

Did you see this snap I took last night party_pants?

A house three houses up from mine.

Looks like a lot of sandy verges…

Wow. That is freaking awesome.

I think I might have been out for a walk at the time last night. I went for a wander to see if I could find a good vantage point for the Jupiter and Saturn thing, but there was too much light pollution to see any but the very brightest stars… for some reason. Oh – and I got stuck watching the cricket, was about to turn it off when the game changed momentum in the last couple of overs.

yeah. Sand is a fact of life here. Either sand or dead and parched grass.

There’s a lot of movement and waterfall FX that a photograph can’t capture.

We’re back from down the road, absolutely great night had, and then into the household’s christmas tradition. We like buying each other a $10-20 gift which goes into a dedicated xmas stocking that my mother sewed up for everyone many years ago. These gifts are opened just after midnight.

Junior sprog opens her first gift which happens to be a selection of hot sauces. I may have bought this. She bursts out laughing. Gets around to me and I open the largest package, it’s a selection of hot sauces, a completely different selection thank satan.

We just did a fist bump and laughed.

Everyone buys a gift for everyone. It’s a bit of a laugh and liked by us all; and yes, all the gifts were a hit :)

Have never gone near trifle again since the first time. No idea why people want to eat shyte like that.
Why ruin good food?
My old man used to say why worry? It gets all mixed up in your stomach anyway.

If the swiss invented those rolls, they should be shot. Pure kak.

Pretty classic stuff really. Sponge cake mix. Cooked in a flat pan, tipped out onto teatowel when cooked, spread with jam, roll…carefully. Exactly the same constituent parts as a sponge sandwich cake, except with a Swiss roll you put the cream on afterwards if you want it.

Nah, not for Swiss roll. But maybe for trifle. We use port in our family. I’ll admit trifle is probably further down my scale of yummy desserts than Chocolate Ripple Cake. But I made the trifle. There is only the two of us and we don’t need two desserts.

I prefer Port in the trifle but the others prefer Sherry so that’s what I used.

Ooh. I didn’t think of that. Oh well, next time and thanks.

No one except me eats trifle, so this year I went with Aldi-brand Viennetta for dessert. Gluten free and Mum can eat it too (nothing that will trigger a migraine).

The family tradition here, SWMBO’s side, is that we have a function the Sunday before xmas for parts of the family that we don’t see on xmas day. The Chocolate Ripple Cake (CRC) is brought out then.

Yeah. I hate sponge that ain’t coooked right, just like I hate lamingtons that ain’t cooked right.
Which basically means I reject them where ever I go because most people turn it to kak.

Or she can not bother at all because it wasn’t in the plan. Nor was spilling duck fat when I tipped the first lot out of the roasting dish. Mostly retrieved. Will try to be less clumsy at the next turn of the duck.

Indeed.

This year’s Christmas car: 1936 MG SA, 2.3-litre six-cylinder saloon. One of the bigger MGs made in modest numbers alongside the smaller and cheaper swarm.

This one is kept in pristine condition in the British Motor Museum.

Presumably this is a response to the huge spike in family violence that occurs each year on Christmas day:

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, which was depressing.

So, i expect all those Americans who are opposed to ‘socialism’ and ‘free handouts’ and people ‘getting stuff even if they’ve made no effort at all’ will be returning all their presents to the givers?
