Day Eleven You have scandalised my mother, you dirty Jezebel, It was bad enough to have eight maids-a-milking dancing to punk music on the front lawn but they've now been joined by your friends ~ the eleven Lords-a-leaping and the antics of the whole lot of them would leave the most decadent days of the Roman Empire looking like 'Outlook'. I'll get you yet, you 'ould bag ! Gobnait O'Lúnasa

Little piggies have just returned from over the creek . . . minus the food in the dishes but with very full tums. Lovely roast pork with ALL the veges and finished off with Nanny Marges home made plum pudding and brandy custard. Very yummy and the company hard to beat too. I could get used to living up here fulltime again . . . tis lovely, so quiet, and dark with no street lights . . . can see stars forever!!! Opened the front door to a porch full of green frogs, I think they like my dragonfly lights . . . So lovely of the well wishers to drop in, and the sentiments are returned. Seems we have lots of folks around who read the thread but dont add to it . . . Well its off to bed I go . . . Have a wonderful Christmas eve tomorrrow . . . luv Laurie
