Merry Christmas my grumpy friends
I'm still up on Santa duties as YoungPlum is having trouble going to sleep because of excitement and a very snotty nose, so I'm reluctant to go in and deposit her Xmas stocking. Her main presents are now under the tree but I need to sneak in the bits and bobs that she gets into her room which I can't do until she's conked out for the night. She got up to to go the loo a while ago, just before I was about to go see if I could be Santa, and I have a nasty feeling she saw her presents in their sock/bag thing. Perhaps she now realises I'm Santa - d'oh!
DestructoPup is also over-excited and has been woofling every so often, "woofling" is when she mutters and grumps rather than full scale barking but I still have to get up and tell her off or next thing you know she's barking and that's enough to wake the dead on several continents! She has a BIG bark!
YoungPlum got her first present this evening while we were walking the dog. There's a couple that we stop off and chat to while we're dog walking each evening, who have a beautiful big silly lump of a Newfoundland called Tiny! Anyway, as we passed today and stopped for a quick chat, they gave us a christmas card and a gift for YoungPlum, I was really touched as we hardly know them really. Some lovely people out there
Well, I'm going to have another go at being Santa and see if I can get some sleep! Hope you all have a great day when Christmas gets to the UK, I'll drop in later to see what's cooking ..... other than turkey of course! I'll probably have some culinary tales of woe .... roast dinners are not my thing!
