    If you're asking this there can't be anyone in your house counting the sleeps left until santa comes. Coming close to the last round up for that in this house too. Another year or two.

    Ten days of Saturdays here now. Just the bare minimum every day. Got the last "jobs" finished yesterday. Everything dosed, vaccinated, and settled into winter accommodation.

    Edit; to say getting the jobs done took a fair bit of effort and a hell of a lot of swearing along with a couple of late evenings but worth it not to have things in the back of your mind over the break when most others just switch off from work for a while.

    Happy Christmas boardsies. Take it as handy as ye can for the next few days.

    A Happy, Peaceful and above all Healthy Christmas to you all and your loved ones - especially those of you that lost loved ones during the year (or not so recent years). Christmas can bring back so many poignant memories.

    He'll leave the toy outside, Reggie.

    I'm sure he'll just drop the invoice in with the rest of the toys:P
