xMas [2007]
I spent xMas at Maurice and Warren's this year and had a great time. I went over at 14.00 and met Stuart [no not the Stuart] who arrived shortly after me and who was there for dinner as well, an ex-colleague of Warren with a heavy Scottish accent [Glasgow]. I normally don't have a problem with the Scottish accent but this time, well ehrm...*hmm* must have been the champers on an empty stomach. No I never learn but it wasn't my idea this time: I can blame Mau...
Maurice had been to the Lowlands for three days previous to xMas and brought me back two jars of delicious Sambal Badjak which I am eternally grateful for, thanks deary! I guess it's time to prepare some Indonesian food again some day soon. I helped Mau cooking and it was all worth waiting for [3 hrs] although I was starving since I was told not to have breakfast and/or lunch. We sat down at 17.00 and had a wonderful meal [those sausages in bacon and the stuffing: to kill for... *mmmm!*].
Later that evening more friends of Maurice and Warren came over and we all [ten of us] sat in the lounge near the warm fire and the beautiful blue tree with a blue haired Barbie pinned on the top. Drinking wine and chatting. It's been a relaxed xMas this year, no hassle, no fuss, just how it should be...
Don't mind helping out coz I was hungry *hehe*
What a beautiful Christmas tree!!! Great colours! Nice to see you had a relaxing Christmas :)
I'm so glad to see that wishes can come true.
Friends, delicious food, that warm wonderful fire. . . even the blue xmas tree. Oh that I could see blue-haired Barbie . . . and of course you!!
Looks like a wonderful time!!
I will tell Maurice you liked their tree ;)
I couldn't be bothered this year, knowing that I wouldn't be home much, it saves me a day of having to clean the house because of needles stuck everywhere *hehe*
Although I made a mistake that evening and ended up with needles stuck in my woolen dress, I'm still trying to get those out ;)
I had a wonderful time but I'd still prefer 'a bit' of snow ;)
One day I will have a Redwood in the room and I'll be smiling and dancing decorating that tree for xMas *hehe* And if more wishes will come true I will have a fire to share as well :)
May many more wishes come true :)
