I had a couple of days off but am now back at work straight through until the 7th when I get a weeks holiday. We have friends visiting that week and are looking forward to our first visitors of the new year.<br /><br />I hope your festive season continues in the same relaxed vane you describe above.<br /><br />Take care.<br /><br />Al.Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667242161539996736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-63959179409905586152012-12-28T09:47:07.224-05:002012-12-28T09:47:07.224-05:00I too am enjoying a quieter day, with cats in a wa...I too am enjoying a quieter day, with cats in a warm house and no need to cook or clean after all the efforts before Christmas. Your cats look very contented inside, by the fire or bedded down on one of your lovely quilts.Dartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-60295945210208949972012-12-28T08:51:03.605-05:002012-12-28T08:51:03.605-05:00I fully understand your just sitting by the fire u...I fully understand your just sitting by the fire until bedtime. More and more we find ourselves content to just sit in the quiet with a nice fire doing our jigsaws or reading. Later there is a good programme on the radio that goes on until 1a.m. if needed and contentment is ours.<br />And yes, we have a cat flap but Polly and Rowan will wait outside for us to open the door having been attacked too many times by Princess who waits out of sight ready to pounce on them as they come in. ( Why do I love that cat, she really is mean) lol<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-5191893325162113692012-12-28T07:58:16.443-05:002012-12-28T07:58:16.443-05:00Your food always sounds so good and there's no...Your food always sounds so good and there's nothing like pie to round out any meal.<br />Lillian<br />lillianscupboard.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-34881303333378658972012-12-28T05:48:13.748-05:002012-12-28T05:48:13.748-05:00Sounds as though you had the perfect Christmas and...Sounds as though you had the perfect Christmas and your buffet on boxing day is my kind of meal....we do a cold meat and cheese one too but I am fascinated by the smoked turkey and I have never come across that cheese even though we had 25 varieties (its my fun xmas thing).I did my cold boiled gammom ...the way my Nana did, when I was a child and stood watching.<br />As for the hedgehog ...they are called Pygmy Hedgehogs ...they have to be in a warm environment which is the only thing we need to work on over here. She has a living pod and a carry pod and a run that you can put anywhere... even though I was not sure about this sort of animal, Holly is cute ...and good tempered ...and is adored by several of the cats.<br />Forgot to say that those donuts blow, looked so inviting.

I fixed ham and have ham for sandwiches, and tonight scalloped potatoes and ham, yum.<br />We had a very soft, dusting of very fluffy snow this morning until noon, its so fluffy it blows off so easily. But tonight, when cars roll over it, it will make for a very slick, greasy ride home.<br />Enjoy your upcoming weekend.<br />Hugsdenimflyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04737448177805751756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7314065896417867122.post-65563529537374093132012-12-27T15:51:25.466-05:002012-12-27T15:51:25.466-05:00Hello, Mr. Paul;
