Bright And Early,

on Boxing Day,

 the bug crew arrived,

 spraying in and around the house over,

 and it was time for a pre-dinner sherry,

 for today we were going to have,

 some more of the ham that we had on Sunday, that Diana had then roasted a tad in the oven,

 and of course Christmas crackers,

 for dessert,

 home made mince pies, with lots of cream,

 the fish looked on,

 it was all to much for this one, that decided to have a yawn,

 a top up and time to pull the crackers,

 one two three go! note to self, next time you pull a cracker remember to put glass of wine on the table,

                                                                      

and here is the video,

 and in case you did not hear the jokes in the crackers,

here they are,

 by now we were so full, as were the cats, normally they sleep in their room, as the floor is cool for them, but for the past few days they have been sleeping on the sofas as I guess it is warmer,

well Cable and Hogue were sleeping until Mariana woke them up,

we then started to watch television, starting with The Chase, followed by the Christmas edition of The Chase where celebrities try to win money for their favorite charities, and followed that with the Christmas special from Murdock Mysteries, with Jumping Jack Flash, titled Once Upon a Murdoch Christmas,

and rounded to evening off with The Man in the Iron Mask, and with the end of that we were off to bed.
