A2K time zones: What's the time where you are & what are you up to?

Caplanskys, Caplanskys, Caplanskys!

10: 58 am, Boxing Day, 26th December, Melbourne:

Wishing all A2Kers in the northern hemisphere a wonderful, peaceful Christmas.
I'm thinking those of you in the US are taking a late afternoon snooze in front of the open fire ....... zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
While those of you in the UK & Europe are just beginning to get your second wind!

Here it's almost chilly!
On Boxing Day?
A big drop of temperature, following yesterday's big storms.
A relief, actually ...

Today was meant to be day#1 of my summer walking regime.
But what the heck, tomorrow is just as good, yes?

Just been checking out my garden to see what damage was done by yesterday's wind & hail. And I'm happy to report: next to none!
And I'm delighted to report that my first "Amish heritage" tomatoes have just appeared! Tiny little things eggish shaped things.
I was beginning to have my doubts ... the (potted) plant is now taller than I am, but the fruit has been so slow in coming ....

Enjoy the rest of your day, you northerners!

Around five in the afternoon on Christmas.

Our get together will be tomorrow - busy here with emails and phoning to friends and relatives. Doing a little baking. No guarantees.

Plan to attack the front yard in a few days when it's said to be 50 degrees F. And about time I get to it.
It's taken me too long to get how short gardening time is here, total opposite of what I am used to.

8:10 p.m.

having a small second serving

what a meal! I'm going to do a version of the "left-over" dressing again. Success!

A person with lots of left-overs in the fridge would much appreciate a rough idea about your left-over dressing, ehBeth.
When you are up to it, of course.

Lounging around....slowly arranging social events for the next few days.

Being squeaked and yipped at by viola who is also caressing my face with her paw....demanding smooches.

Ha.
That Viola.
Worse things could happen, Deb.

I liked your "turning over a new leaf", purging the past year post yesterday.
Atta girl!

12: 45 pm here:

It seems to be getting colder, with more rain looming ..
Still, I'm going to get out there & do a bit more wedding in the garden.
When I stop procrastinating & getting side-tracked by A2K threads ....

12.15pm Boxing Day, lounging on the patio facing the Marina getting ready for a sumptious seafood meal, son has really excelled himself. Name it and you'll find the best what Port lincoln has to offer on the table. Throw in a few bottles of whiteand and things look very promising. Bon appetit Dutchy.

Perfect picture, Dutchy.
I can just see you.

Relax & enjoy!

Bon apetit, indeed!

WEDDING in the garden?

This is news indeed!



As for me, I must bestir myself, wash self and hair, and get out and EXERCISE.

Then finish bedroom!

Yep. Near on 9 pm and back at the hotel for a small snack (muffin and decaf) before putting my feet up.

It is to me, too, Deb!

Best of luck with your bestirring plans!
(Mine aren't progressing too well at this minute.)

eastern ontario - soon to be 10:30 pm .

having fun at msolga's expense

I'm absolutely delighted you are having fun, hamburger.
There should be more of this sort of thing!

But at my expense?
Not quite as sure about that!

10:50 pm and the fun continues

toasting msolga with a drink of BENEDICTINE .
those monks sure knew that a shot ( or two ) of it will cure many illnesses of body and soul .
i found a reliable doctor ( gastro-intestinal ) who assured me that it's good for me .
unfortunately the ontario health insurance refuses to pay for these vital
" injections "

( definetely following doctor's orders ! )

Oh that is so unreasonable of the Ontario Health Insurance, hamburger!

3 pm, Melbourne:

Toasting you back (sorta) with a rum ball!
Yum!

5:58 pm, Melbourne:

So I was sitting there, happily engrossed in a book, when it suddenly dawned on me ......

Canada

I had neglected to wish Canadians a happy Christmas!
(How the heck did I manage that? )

So I must rectify that right this minute, with humble apologies ...

Happy festive season, Canada!

And while I'm at it, any A2Kers in Asia & the middle east, too.

I feel better now.

Back to my book.

It's not like it's a REAL country, you know!

You think we might have just imagined Canada?
