What you doing Xmas day?

Off to work, after a cuppa and a toke... 6 inches of snow and minus 4 outside...

Xmas lunch at my eldest sons, all my other kids will be there as will my 7 grandchildren, lots of food, wine, fun with the family and then driven home to sleep it off.................brisk walk with my dogs, feed my horses,chickens and start again.

Merry Xmas all.

I am going to fire up the snow blower and clean the driveway off. :(

Just back from a very nice Dinner with my family at a CM Hotel. Oddly there wasn't that many people there though the food was excellent.

Real men, use a shovel, although we don't get 5 months of snow in the UK each year.

That's it it's over!!!:)

Time to start the real celebrations start, let TFP's Christmas begin!:)

Worked all day and had left-over lasagna which was delicious.

Big day today though. :bananaman:

Quiet one me...this year anyway..

Had a nice Xmas dinner at the Islander in Rawai
Got a couple of pressies from my brother and his wife

2. A litre bottle of gin !!! :bananaman:

Just checking No2 to make sure it is not 'corked ' :smileylaughing:

I never let a little thing like that get in my way.:)

Tonight at one point, without any prior arrangement, I had 5 TD members sat at the same table who didn't really know each other or had never even met before.

They're bloody everywhere!

It was a great night 'nearly' had by all!:)

I was there earlier they had 4 different sittings I was on the first one thank fuk coz they had a power failiure in the area can you believe it,

So the pond is 10 meters wide and about 50 meters long, I stuck 2 water cabbage plants in it and for the first couple of months nothing happened, then a month later the pond was completely covered in the stuff, now this is going to be used for the compost heap, although I haven't built one yet and nor will I for using that amount of stuff, it would be way too big, so I got a plan :)

20 meters of Nylon rope about 1.5cm thick, one of us at each end of the pond with rope in hand, drop the rope in and keeping it a bit tight start walking to the other end of the pond, then drag as much out into pile on the bank with those Thai shovel things and put it into piles to rot, if I have some old sacking I shall cover the piles with that and use stones to keep the sacking on, probably would have been better to do this in the rainy season but I need loads of compost anyway so this can be a monthly thing I suppose, if it works.

So what are you doing Christmas day?

Happy Christmas DD. Sounds like a great way to spend Christmas mate!

I ate too much and got drunk.

And then went to the cinema and saw Tron, legacy, which wasn't as good as I hoped.

Sorry, no reply.
She seems to have something lodged in her throat. :)

Classy bloke, posting on TD while the lady has her mouth full.

I'm surprised you can type...!

I had a packed house, all my brothers and sister, with their kids. My mom cooked a turkey, ham, and bunch of other gppd stuff, she was cooking for two days, and there was a bunch of beer and wine. Best gift I got was a hand made guayabera from my sister in law.

I had a great Chrimbo, Lil Digit was over tired from two late nights and grumpy as you like but a couple of hours midday sleep soon saw him brighten up and the magic begin.

Had the entire family around which was nice, Dads been sick as a parrot but he made it too.

My bro's mates turned up in the evening which was great, a nicer and funnier bunch of lads I've never known.

I saw the back of two bottles of Gales Mead and enough vodka to float a battleship.

Oddly enough I don't feel so clever today :shrug:

I hope you all had a good one too :)

Yep ! We were on the last one 5 - 7 and power was off till about 6 !!

Paul kept everyone happy by providing booze top-ups but a real bummer for it to happen on Xmas day !!

PS The gin was not 'corked ' :smileylaughing:

today I have been mainly fixing doors

making them fit and putting new bolts and handles

then those women can open and close them easily

I suppose it was payback for the amazing meal they cooked yesterday, even though Xmas hardly counts for much here

I walked back in there just as it came on did you see hansum man sitting at the end of the bar? well that was me, until next time you are there

Watched Chiang Mai FC lose 1-0 whilst drinking cans of Leo.

Then invaded the pitch and had my pictures taken with loads of people I didn't know.

It was quite random for a Christmas day.
