I slept rather well last night, and slept for over six
hours. Not too shabby really. Over toast I wrote yesterday’s diary. What with
all the excitement I didn’t get chance yesterday. And I made the most of
sitting on the sofa. My usual spot had been commandeered by Darcie who formally
ordered me off the sofa yesterday, sat there herself and glared at me.
As I sat on the sofa I peered into the Internet. Like
quite a few people I got Lego for Christmas. There were so many people this
morning advocating leaving the Lego in the unopened box and selling it later
for a great profit; all wishing they’d done that with their Lego. I must admit
much as I don’t like the idea of doing that, the gingerbread house set that I
could have bought new for about a hundred quid a few years ago is now selling for
between three and four hundred pounds on eBay.
The dogs came down and I chivvied them outside. Then everyone
else came down, and we had a rather good morning. Darcie WaaWaa TM” opened
more presents amongst which were some little animal toys which me and her
played with for quite some time. I would lay on the kitchen floor playing kiss
chase with the lizard and the tiger, and she would announce “sharing is
caring” and take them away from me.
It wasn’t long before “My Boy TM” and
”Auntie Chel TM” arrived. We did more Christmas pressies;
I got a rather good garden clock. Despite all still being stuffed from
yesterday we had a rather good dinner of cold meats and pickles. “Daddies’
Little Angel TM” boiled up a huge plate of cauliflower
cheese and we again scoffed ourselves silly and then had an afternoon of games.
As you do on Boxing Day.
All too soon it was time for everyone to go home. “er
indoors TM” drove the Folkestonians home and I had a
little tidy-up.
Once she returned we sparked up the telly and watched the
latest “Wallace
and Gromit” film. It was rather good. I can remember seeing the very first
one at a friend’s house one Christmas Eve… thirty-four years ago.
We’ve found the magnetic pieces of the magnet game, but the
banana from the kiss chase game and one of the Lego flowers are still missing.
This has been a rather good Christmas…
