I've been tagged by Glenda. Thank you, Glenda. This is the first time I've been tagged in 25 years of blogging. It's a Christmas questionnaire. So it's probably best if I do it now while you're all still around. You are still around, aren't you?
When people say "Christmas" you immediately think...

The Getaway
1 day ago
The image of you and Betty hippity-hopping in the snow will stay with me for the day.
ReplyDeleteDid you make snow angels too?
No we didn't. We didn't throw any balls, either.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'll be hopping again, with my digestion. Nor Betty with her wrist.
Hands off that robin it's MINE!
ReplyDeleteOh go on then - seeing as it's Christmas!
That robin's got a lot of flying to do. Christmas dinner in Manchester. Boxing Day cold food and pickles in Kent!
ReplyDeleteThe Queen's Holiday message!
ReplyDeleteHeart be still...*In my highest, nasally, tone:
"Iyee have leeeved long eeenough too knew that theengs neverrr rrremain quite the same for verrry long,"
"One of the theengs that has note changed, ohl that much, for me,
is the celebrrrration of Chrrrrisssmass.
"It rrrremains a time when I try to poot aside the anxieties of the moment, and rrrreemember that Christ was born to breeeng peeeace and tolerrrrance to a trrrroubled worrrrld."
"The birrrth of a baby brrrrings grrrreat happiness, but then the business of grrrrrowing up begins...
CHARLES poot that down and starrrt pay attention."
Here in Canada, and HE will back me up on this, it is a tradition for the men of the nation to pee their name into the snow.
ReplyDeleteTry it!
I never thought Edward had it in him.
ReplyDeleteOr rather, I always thought Edward had it in him.
MJ - We haven't had any snow at Christmas since 1995. I haven't pissed out of doors since we were in the New Forest three years ago. Something's gotta give.
