Snack #many

A very chilled day.

Some sleeping in for those of us who remembered to change our alarm clocks from term-time settings. The rule for today was mainly that there were no rules: you eat what you like, when you like.

Present opening was accompanied by Dean Martin, Tawny port and much fun. I now have a ninja trowel (with a whistle!) Snack 2 was outside in the sunshine, with a stack of cookery books and a snoozing Mr B. Snacks 3 and 4 (4 pictured) were before and after a short walk, snack 5 was after a short sleep.

Later, the name game was fast and furious until CarbBoy’s description “married to the first man on the moon” * prompted much giggling. Later still, he redeemed family game honour with some excellent charades performances. Mr B and I only seemed to get impossible ones (my “The seven hobbits of highly ee-feg-ive people” was a hard fought one... It is easier when you have a grown-up receiver... I pitched in to help TallGirl with the Confucius one Mr B was doing).

Some TV to calm everyone down, and now we’re all trying to not think about the two elephants in the room: no-one has done any packing for tomorrow, and the rabbit kennels website says they are closed tomorrow. All will be well. Nothing can spoil the most chilled Christmas ever...
