@Fcrate:
LOL your brother!
I think men with a lot of beard look funny with masks on. Mostly it looks as if the mask is growing hair all around. ;)
My husband has a beard, too. Usually it is rather short, but recently he let it grow. He says he wants to try something new,  but in reality I think he is just too lazy to trim it properly. When we sent Christmas pictures to the family they said it's the wrong colour. White would be better to go as Santa.  ;D

Have fun. I'm currently rereading random bits. Sometimes it is good to go back to previous books with the knowledge and background of the "future". At the moment I'm back in Small Favor for several reasons ;)

LOL

Midnight was weird, but still we had fun.
You couldn't buy fireworks, and all the sparklers were sold out. So we went out with pot covers to make noise and glow lights and met with the neighbours at the fence. They had a fire going.
Some people still had last year's fireworks, but not many.
So we sang a few songs, drank some punch and after that we put out the little telescope the kids got from the grandparents for Christmas to look at the moon.
It was half past one when the kids finally went to bed and I followed at 2, while my husband fell asleep on the sofa watching
an Alice Cooper concert.

As it is already 2021 here:
I wish you all a happy and healthy new year. May your wishes come true and all the last year's demons be banished!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I am catholic, too.
LOL. There is a little TARDIS on the right directly beside the barn, but the picture is not very clear. I have to shoot the fotos with my cell phone. My camera doesn't work anymore. Only the not digital one.

The tree.


The wand.

There should be images. I can't see them in the preview. If they are not there, I'll try again. I'm not so good with this. LOL

We did the sock show today. ;D It was fun and it was filmed. The old neighbor came by so she had to watch and laugh, too. My dad was very moved. It was a good birthday.

We had precaution measures, too. I had myself tested covid negative. And before the test result, I used a mask and gloves to prepare the sauces.
The neighbour wore a mask, when she came and she sat a bit apart from everyone else. Everyone else was only my little family and my parents.

The kids created some landscape from paper and we put a playmobil archer in it. So we will do this for real in spring or summer. Also we had him a T-shirt with his birth year and some fun stuff on it and a coffee mug that says: it took 70 years to look this good.  8)

After the fondue lunch today we had some apple cake and coffee.

Would be weird, if the meat was alive on the plate. Probably trying to escape or to argue with you about not eating it. LOL

We always call the meat for fun by the sound the animal makes. What is this? It's moo, for example.

As there is a lot of moo, meh, quak, oink, baa, Wiener sausages and sprouts and mushrooms left, we decided to eat the leftovers tomorrow at noon as birthday food. No need to order Vietnamese. We will do that another time.

For tomorrow we have prepared a little show for my dad. We will use single socks as hand puppets, complete with wool hair and button eyes. The sock puppets will sing Ramalama Ding Dong. I hope, it will be funny. We want to make him laugh.

Now I am so full of food. At first I could barely move. The little one fell asleep on the way home (it's less than 5 minutes).

 I won't be up long either. The day started early. The cat woke me up.

Edit: the little one was very happy about the little wand I made for her. :)

Whatever your beliefs, I want to wish everyone here a very good Holidays and that Kringle visits you. This has been a terrible year, so we all deserve some good time with the people we love (even if we don't physically join them). BEST WISHES TO EVERYONE!!!



Aawww, cute. Thank you and also merry Christmas to everyone.

But it is winter here and we need comfort food. Stew with potato mash and Brussels sprouts. We probably make too much but stew freezes well.
Us, too. So you have food for the next days without having to cook anything new. We'll probably eat meat, sprouts and bread with sauce for two days. Mushrooms usually are eaten up on the first day.
Sauces last for 3-4 days. My mother remembered the garlic butter.
So we just need bread afterwards. That's OK. I have everything at home to bake some. Also the bakeries are open. So all kinds of delicious bread and other things are available. For the holidays you just have to reserve some at the bakery.

Hello, hello!!!!!!!

I just wanted to tell you that we found a tree. Today we will put in in the living room. It has been down in the cellar for the night to get used to warmer temperatures.
Today the kids went to help their grandparents to decorate their tree. We will be spending the 24th there.

It is 5-10°C outside and raining. Typical Christmas weather of the last years ;) .

Our decoration will be colourful. A mix of everything. I will make a picture. I hope I don't forget to post it here.
We will have fondue like every year. With broth. There will be meat of different animals (pork, beef, turkey, chicken, duck and lamb and wiener sausages), mushrooms and Brussels sprouts to put into the broth to boil.
And different sauces, which I will make. And some salad and bread.


On the 25th we will order Vietnamese.

DF Spoilers / Re: Raising a human child vs raising a spirit of intellect
« on: December 22, 2020, 09:32:22 AM »
Parents who raise their kids on rules from dubious books make me feel creepy. Or those who quote certain authors. I can't help feeling malicious joy, whenever a child doesn't behave like a certain book said it would react to the author approved education method.
I don't say there is no helpful advice, I'm just referring to those 'perfect' parents who talk to you with their noses high as if you do everything wrong wherelse they are infallible and have the most perfect life. I think everyone knows at least one of those. Who give unwanted advice.


If Bonea is like Bob she will adapt to the people interacting with her so he should be very careful about that. Harry does not want to bring her into contact with Bob at all.

As long as Harry only introduces Bonea to the right people I do not think much can go wrong. The main problem will be Lasciel who is definitively not the right people but knows about Bonea and wants her.

Agreed.

So who are the right people? I would say:

The Carpenters
Sanya and Butters (but not Andi, I still don't trust her, maybe not Butters either, I'm not sure, she may have influenced him)
Molly (she knows anyway, she was the midwife ;) )
The Bordens
River Shoulders

Anyone else?


Who are the wrong people?

Definitely any Denarians
Mab (she would use her ruthlessly for winter purposes)
White Council wizards including Ebenezar and Carlos
Definitely any vampires (except Thomas, if he was around and still a vampire)

Yeah OK, anyone else who isn't on the list of approved people.

Here it's between -3 and 0°C.
We don't have a tree yet. The ones we found so far were either too small or too big. I would feel OK with a small tree, but my husband has exact plans for it's size. ;) I let him have his fun.

I will have my last day of work on December 23 and after that I won't have to work on Christmas or New Year for the first time in ... I can't remember when I ever have not worked on either days. Except those two times when I was at home with newborn babies. :)
Next year I will work on Christmas morning. I am glad it is not afternoon or night, because that's so depressing, you get all the suicide attempts. I like better working the nightshift on Dec 31. There are mostly alcohol and drug patients and those who hurt themselves using fireworks. And around midnight usually there is some kind of stand still. Everything quiet and then we take turns climbing the outside stairs up to the roof. From there you can watch the whole city. That's pretty cool.

Only this year there might not be any fireworks. They are talking about a complete lockdown. And it might be forbidden to go outside at all after 9 pm. Except for going to work. Sunday morning we will know more.

Hey, guys.

How are you?
I'm OK.

Today I played some Christmas songs on the violin to make myself feel more "Christmassy" LOL

At work someone did a lot of decoration with lights , glitter and artificial snowflakes in the noninfectious area. We turned off the lights for a few minutes to appreciate it.
