A Partridge in a Pear Tree
The partridge is the cheapest item on the list. Both items will cost you $222.68. The pear tree is priced like the ones that come from a local nursery.
Two Turtle Doves
The cost of turtle doves was $300 in 2019. The turtle doves increased last year because of the demand for them to $450. That is the same price for them this year.
Three French Hens
French hens cost $210.00 last year. They cost $255.00 this year.
Four Calling Birds
This is the fourth year the four calling birds have cost the same amount. They will set you back for $599.96.
Five Gold Rings
The five gold rings refer to five ring-necked pheasants.
The price of five gold rings was $825 in 2019, $845 in 2020, and $895 in 2021.
Six Geese-a-Laying
The price of the six geese-a-laying in 2019 was $420 and $470 in 2020. In 2021, the price is $660. This is the highest increase of any gift on the list.
Seven Swans-a-Swimming
The price is still $13,125.
Eight Maids-a-Milking
The maids are unskilled laborers who get only the federal minimum wage. All eight of them cost only $58.00. Their fee has not changed in a decade. Those eight maids deserve a raise.
The maids are allowed to milk cows as long as they maintain social distancing and wear face masks.
Nine Ladies Dancing
The nine ladies don't come cheap. Their fee for the last seven years has been $7,552.84.
They were unavailable in 2020 due to Covid-19
Ten Lords-a-Leaping
They were unavailable in 2020 for the same reason.
The cost of the ten lords in 2021 is $11,260. Their wages increased by 13%.
Eleven Pipers Piping
They are available in 2021 for $2,943.93. That's the same amount as it would have been in 2019.
Twelve Drummers Drumming
They don't drum for free. In 2019, the cost for the drummers' performance was $2,972.25. They didn't drum in 2020. Their cost in 2021 is $3,183.17.
Total Cost
The total cost for all twelve of the gifts mentioned in the song comes to $41,205.58 in 2021. Back in 2019, the gifts came to $38,993.59.

Was checking through my e-mails earlier, and had a notification that my appointment for my booster had been cancelled.
Just went and rebooked for the same time, place and date. WTF?!?!?!?!

some good news
some bad news
- again figured out how to use the endoscope (even if it only works w/ an old Windows laptop)
- the dryer sheet that got sucked into the open lint trap is not stuck in the dryer duct work
- it's not blocking air flow, the vent flap on the outside of the house is fully open while the machine is running
- it seems content where it is & not likely to move
- if it wasn't for the dryer sheet getting sucked into the machine I never would have found out just how much lint was accumulated in the airway
some bad news
- it is stuck in the back of the machine, helping to line the airway
- the whole airway seems to be lined w/ dust
- in order to retrieve it & clean all that lint buildup, I have to disconnect a bunch of stuff & remove the back panel to get to the workings & the airway
- since I'll be in there up to my eyeballs, I'll be inclined to clean all the dryer ductwork from the back of the machine to the exit at the house wall. I bought a special brush for the purpose & tape to help connect everything when I'm done
- I expect this will take me the better part of my day off, on Sunday

Morning .
I was just listening to our local news . They were featuring a head chef from a care home . They just said . " A year on she is just finishing icing the Christmas cake . "
A lot of care must have gone into icing that !

Will you be having your Agatha crispy for Christmas lunch?
It's fairly clear this morning but I don't think we'll see any sun today, just a high blanket of white cloud.

We watched a programme on the BBC last night about the winter of 1962/63. I can remember some bits of it . I can remember being off school for a while due to frozen pipes . I can remember going out every day and playing in the snow , sliding on frozen ponds, tobogganing down the railway embankment in the evening in the dark .We had a streetlight and railway embankment in front of our house which helped to light up our run . The toboggan would hit and stop on the ant hills and we would slide straight off the top and continue down the slope . I can remember we were skating on their duck pond singing "Puff the Magic Dragon ". I just checked , it was released in January 1963 .
