Just realised how much the word girl looks like gin with an exclamation after it.

Got a new tyre inflation machine, but I can’t try it out because it’s pissing with rain all afternoon.

My 5 year old gives the most thoughtful gifts. Today's was a slight cough and a positive lateral flow test before going round to the in laws. Cue a Christmas day family trip for PCR tests and a rapid change of plans.

Quieter do, but we just about managed to salvage it.

All I’m reading is you dodged having to go to in laws. Thank that little angel of yours.

Yeah. Having spent the day with mine I wish I’d stuck my head in a bucket of Covid a few days ago

[Margin__Walker]

Ha, I get on with mine. My day would have been spent sitting around getting served food and drink whilst other people entertained my son. Instead I had to do the leg work.

They did always say we saffers are a bit too literal

A quiet one this year. The youngest enjoyed it the most because at that age Christmas means gifts and lots of them. In isolation so it was just us. Eldest finally got the nod to move out of the family communal sleeping area upstairs and into the guest apartment downstairs. So his gifts were centered around that transition. Mom is moody as vok because she feels she is losing her first born. I told him to ignore it and ride it out. He reckons he needs space, especially from the youngest who adores him. Yet here they have had a sleep over every night since. Great for mom and I as we have been alone for 2 nights.
Youngest got a cricket ball launcher from Santa. Loves it. Doesn’t need anyone else if he feels like picking up a bat or adjusting it to catching practice. Before it was " dad come bowl to me , or dad come throw ". Strangely enough I have seen a huge improvement in his batting and catching. He is stepping forward to the ball and actually blocking, albeit aggressively. And the game for him is to go the full quiver of balls without missing a ball . Great for his concentration.

I'll focus my attention on German gin! Bought that delicious Monkey 47 from the Black Forest, and plan to use it to make a French 75 today, for my father's birthday.

Have some Guatamalan Rum to consume today.

Nasty, I suffer occasionally. Allopurinol or Naproxen sorts it out in no time.

Eat to much biltong, kudu dry wors, Gammon, beef and lekker meats and drank to much charge office coffees and beer.

Got the deep type in my ankle and the pills were to weak. The pharmacy sister know me well, her shot relieve immediately.

Now I can start all over again, oxtail pot on the fire.

I know it very well my friend.

Although that diet is just asking for trouble

[OomStruisbaai]

Got the youngsters, they want oxtail. It take a few hours and keep busy.

Enjoy your last day of 2021.

Planning a normal lamb chops and rib braai to see out the last day with my old Paarl friend and family.

Happy to get past 2021 and hope the very best 2022 for all.

Special thought for those who quit the bottle and in Rona isolation.

Are we now so lazy that we don’t even have a happy new year thread?
