Wishing a Merry Christmas to all the readers of the blog and our many friends and supporters, wherever they happen to be. Thanks to all of you and the very best of the season.
And today was one of the harder days. All the usual chores, plus doing a Christmas dinner.
We ate at 5pm so we could fit the cooking in around the chores, did a lot in advance and then I did everything at the run (kitchen, croft, kitchen, croft, boys, kitchen, croft, croft, boys, kitchen etc).
Amazingly, everything was ready on time, with all animals fed, watered, mucked out and bedded down, two clean boys, and a smashing meal on the table.
I also think the boys and the Other Half are trying to tell me something. They bought me a computer game for Christmas. It’s called Republic, it’s based on becoming ruler of a former Soviet republic, and it has the tag line “The time for change has come. Change led by you.”
There are only two downsides. One is a lack of time to play it and the other is that they didn’t check the specification. My computer is too slow and too out of date by some years to run it. Still, it made me laugh to read that tag line!
Now, though, I’m ready for a hot buttered rum and a chance to listen to my other Christmas pressie - Croftwork by the Peatbog Faeries.
Happy Christmas to all of you.
The season’s best to you matey - heaven knows, you’ve worked hard enough for it!
