Ready for Christmas

[wiseheart]

The tree has been decorated, Mum's prezzie is done, half the (very simple) Christmas dinner is already cooked, and we still have half the pineapple cake to eat with the eggnog and the apple cidre. I have taken a photo of the Christmas tree (will put it up tomorrow) and we have exchanged cookies with the neighbours. IT Guy from the neighbourhood brought my new PC today, a new screen and router will follow after Christmas, as well as the copying of my HD and the uploading some more programmes. I can hardly believe that soon I will be able to work properly, after a quarter year!

Very glad to hear you sounding contented - sorry I haven't been in touch for a while

We missed you, too. Mum asked a few times if I heard from you, but I had to tell you no. Are you all right? Healthy?

Not so bad, thank you - the skeletal problems have returned, and it's quiite difficult now to straighten my back. Otherwise, I'm pretty good

Sounds lovely! Glad your PC woes are improving; PC problems are SO frustrating! I made a pavlova for Christmas dinner - if you're not familiar with pavlovas, a pavlova is an Australian dessert cake, originally created to honour the Russian ballerina - it is essentially a meringue topped with whipped cream and sweet declarations. Mine was topped with vanilla cream, raspberries and blackberries. Mum wasnt up to baking Guetsle, but had purchased some, so we had pav and Guetsle after dinner. This year was the year of the salads - I have never seen or eaten so many delicious salads! My sister a chicken for the meat-eaters, and my niece prepared ginger and soy tofu for the vegetarians.
Hope you enjoy the holiday season, and have a happy new year!

Hehe. My ipad turned sweet decorations into "sweet declarations". Cute!

The autocorrect on every iPad can turn your hair white. But at least this is cute indeed. :)

It sounds like a lovely day and hooray for your home IT approaching full functionality again. Merry Christmas!

Well, I'll believe it when I see it, but at least I'm feeling cautiously optimistic.
Happy Christmas to you, too!
