Good morning Stringsters
It seems you all had a lovely Christmas Day which is nice to read. I hope Santa was kind to you all.
We had a bit of a disaster yesterday because of a huge electrical storm which resulted in a blackout for us.
We were nearly though lunch but we couldn't have dessert because we needed electricty to prepare it.
It was an extremely hot and muggy day and because of the rain we could not sit outside in the cool so being inside with no light was a slight dampner on the proceedings. Luckily DD and family were off to see his family for the evening so they could get away from the lack of electricity.
I think OH will be watching the cricket today. I will be reading a book, something I don't often get a chance to do.
Have a good day everyone.

Hi Prim
I read that you had major storms up there, but despite that, I know you still would've had a lovely Christmas with your family.
luckily for us, it didn't rain here until quite late last night so by that time we had all moved indoors anyway

Morning everyone. Prim, you must be so sick of the storms!
We had a lovely, busy, chaotic family day. I think I'm going to go back for seconds as there was enough catering to feed a small nation.

Afternoon Stringies. Yes, I did it. Christmas day part 2. I actually think I ate more for lunch today than I had yesterday.
The rest of the day will now be a cup of tea and some good veg out time. I hope no one wants me to cook dinner because I don't think I can fit anything else in before next Tuesday.
It was great to speak to Karen over Christmas. I don't think she burnt anything!

and yes that little catch up with K was nice

Good morning Stringsters
We had such a late lunch on Christmas day that we had the prawns meant for dinner that day, last night. I guessed at a cooking method to create a grilled prawn dish I had at a Christmas lunch. I just about got it right and OH said they were delicious so we have a new recipe for the book.
Karen was in great form and her lunch sounded delicious ........and unburnt. 🙂
I haven't eaten any chocolate yet but I have nibbled away at the licorice allsorts.
Today is the day to put things together and find out how they work. Wish me luck 🙂
