Paperlad Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Merry Christmas everyone. Spare a thought for those (me!) who are away from family, friends and home. Today I'm in Hangzhou, China and not a decoration in sight, it seems the Chinese don't do Christmas! And to top it all. I set my alarm 3 hours too early for today's flight....what a dimwit!

Have a great day Dave Think we may have one in the loft - if we can find it do you want it? However it's going to take some finding, so immediacy is not able to be on offer. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torr Giffard LSWR 1951-71 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) ....thanks for the offer but the couple who gave us the tapes have the player to copy them onto CDs, so I'll be giving them a couple of blank discs and the tapes back.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted December 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 25, 2015 Morning all, Happy Christmas. I was up early to put the turkey in the oven. I had everything ready last night so I didn't spend ages looking for things I needed. We may even have enough time to all take Robbie for a walk before family arrive at about 12.30. Otherwise Matthew can take him and return with a description of how other people have dressed their dogs as reindeer. Breakfast has been eaten and presents opneed. Aditi liked her nutmeg grater which had been hiding as a tree decoration, she also liked a history book about The Netherlands. Matthew had already started his chocolate orange and looked suitably confused by his bicycle tools. I like my loco. It is one I probably wanted when I was 10 years old.

Coombe Barton Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 All that needs to be cooking by this time is cooking. At the moment we're on track. If we've forgotten things - tough. No alcohol consumed yet - well, merely a taste of the stuff that went onto the cooking - just to make sure, you understand. Now need more coffee. 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emt_911 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Morning all and Happy Christmas. Cooking duties for me today which fortunately doesn't need to start till about 11:00. A light breakfast this morning and coffee consumed but more coffee required. No alcohol today as I'm on call. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted December 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 25, 2015 Morning all, The catering dept are doing 'something' - arrival time for Christmas Dinner not yet predicted but early - mid-afternoon seems likely (as usual). Breakfast toast duly consumed. Present opening to follow at some time this morning. Enjoy your day everybody, however you spend it. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Morning all, Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!

RMweb Gold big jim Posted December 25, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 25, 2015 Kids stayed in bed til 09:00 and now the front room looks like a bomb site, both very happy got the main pressies they asked for (and more!) Lots of lego building for me later, which i dont mind, 2 space and 2 scooby doo sets to build up, got the eldest some 'warhammer' stuff which i have absolutly no interest in and he really wants to play that later, a few lagers with dinner may help get through that one I actualty got the warhammer stuff from the alsager model railway show back earlier in the year from the club sales stand someone was selling on 4 sets so i grabbed them at a bargain price 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coombe Barton Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Rich pine kindling for the fire is providing an aroma. Have (once again) succeeded in buying silence - Sandy has some Quilting books. But now she has plans for the dining table 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
