Ah, the glamour of expatriate life...

It's a trick!
She wants to peek at the presents with no-one seeing her.

It's a trick!
She wants to peek at the presents with no-one seeing her.

Thus was created the festive game of peek-a-poo-poo....

It's a trick!
She wants to peek at the presents with no-one seeing her.

She always wants an audience when she opens her presents: whenever she got one on her birthday she'd corral everyone into the living room so she could open them.

Her Brothers were incredibly patient that day.

Entire family finally awake and present, Elder Son returned from celebrating Christmas Eve with his Girlfriends family. It looks like we may be able to open presents soon.

I'm not holding my breath though.

It's a lovely sunny day . Good enough for a cycle ride except that we are preparing dinner .

I am a member of various local buy and sell groups on Facebook (just incase any interesting bicycles turn up for sale!) and it amazing how many people are listing things for sale on Christmas morning as I've lots of notifications

Well I've been given 2 saddlebags which look like I should have hours of fun trying to figure out how they fit to the rails of my saddle .
I just looked up how to do it on the net how to do it and they showed me how to use a strap !
These have clamps with slots for the rails which means they are restricted as to where they fit . I'm beginning to think that they were designed for a cranked seat post .

Still doing Christmas breakfast here. Going to be a warm day here, maybe 60F, or 15 C.

I am watching the Smithsonian Channel. This programme is about the aerial view over Puerto Rico and the nearby Islands.

It has lots of slow camera work of the landscape, with a short history of each town, castle or the coastline.

It has been a lovely sunny day and quite warm.
I wonder if tomorrow will be the same .

Lovely quiet Christmas Day here chez Casa Reynard.

A dear friend dropped by this morning (she always does, before driving up to Hunstanton with her dogs for the day), and we set the world to rights over tea and apple pastries.

Had a lovely lunch of pork & sweet chilli sausage rolls and a brie and cranberry filo parcel, with a nectarine and some lychees for afters. And two of course.

Have just opened my pressies, and now have a and a mince pie.

The duck is being slow roasted in the oven. Smells amazing already, and it's got another hour and a half to go...

Christmas dinner is done.
Son #3 finishes his glass, and announces
"I can't wait to buy hot cross buns tomorrow"

Saw them in Sainsbury's last Wednesday.

Our Christmas dinner has been on the slow cooker all day whilst we do other stuff. Just roasties and Yorkshires in the oven and it'll be ready in next hour.
