Share your day December 2013

Well so much for my early morning hunting and gathering foray to the shops. It's 11am and am just setting off. I don't do 'early' any more apparently. siiiiigh.

If I don't post again just send flowers to the Pacific Highway, they'll find the appropriate place to hang them in memorium along with all the other bunches and little crosses along there. Haven't heard any sirens yet today, hope that's not a bad omen.

I did forget it! But just checked it over and I got everything on it so my brain's not totally fried yet.

There is a new sheaf of flowers on the little 'shrine' at the next turn-off to mine but they're not for me yet. I survived the Pacific Hway at Christmas and am expecting a medal in the mail.

Jilly you will appreciate this.... the new by-pass now means I have only 2km of the Pacific Hwy to brave. Woopi access is via the old highway and let me tell you it was a positively, downright and outright, f*g blissful drive to the shops and back.

It's still the same chassis shattering goat track it always was but now it's locals and lost tourists only using it. NO SEMIS !!! No one on a deadline, no 'through' traffic, no traffic cops........No traffic! ........ Woohoo and yeeebloodyhaaaa!! The glories of living again on a backroad!
It's shaved minutes off the time and years off my nervous system overload.

There was one weird thing... remember that roundabout at Woopi, out onto the highway?? The one were you are confronted with a blurrily moving wall of trucks and cars and make a dash into it if a flash of daylight appears between them?? It is now like a scene from 'On the Beach!'

It just looks wroooong now. 2 cars on it! 2! Thank you Santa!!

Damn! I really want to stay up here more than ever now.

.....now thats me..lol, I've been very very busy with Christmas and helping my mom lately, just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.
 
Embrace the suck...no, not really, just wanted to use good ol' Nancy's phrase....but it does suck! Well, you'll just have to party a little faster to catch up...I hope that merits a nice fat bonus and double time.....Merry Christmas
 
Awoke at sunrise to great Christmas morning. Just me and Hello Kitty to see what Santa brought . . . so, went back to sleep. Later, after coffee and delicious persimmon bread the neighbor made, turned on the toob and three of my favorite Christmas movies were on. Great. Just great! Settled on very old Dickens' Christmas Carol. As the day warmed . . . up to 71F . . . sat outside and just enjoyed the peace and quiet. Called my son and compared notes on the day. Now, gonna cook me up some fish and rice, vegetate to some more mind rotting television until falling asleep for tomorrow is another joyful work day for Scrooge and company...
 
OZ members will probably be a little quieter today. Most are about to do the traditional Boxing Day thing. Watch the start of the Sydney - Hobart Yacht Race then switch over and vegetate to the Ashes cricket match until dark. It's a tough life for some.
 
About that Boxing Day thing ... I was watching a M.A.S.H. TV rerun where they were visited by some British officers who mentioned their Boxing Day custom of trading places with the enlisted men for the day. Another character ("Charles", for those who know the series) said that the custom came from the old British tradition of Masters trading places with the hired help.

Now, I always thought Boxing Day was the distribution of gifts to the less-fortunate (using the boxes left over from Christmas). Is this just the modern-day version of the old custom?

^^^Your day honestly sounds pretty good:D

We were in similar vein - eating, watching old movies (NASCAR in Mr. TWH's case) doing as little as possible which included mucking stalls. There are never any days off from mucking stalls.

I had to google the word mucking as I have never heard it used before. One def. is to remove something filthy or discussing. I guess that means shoveling good old horse sh--. I use to help my school buddie shovel cow dung which could be pretty juicy and messy. A lot of splattering smelly stuff flying around. Isn't horse poop a little ( for lack of a word ) neater?
 
Mucking has diff meanings here. If someone is 'mucking about' they're procrastinating, or clowning around, it just means they're not taking their job seriously, kind of. If a kid is 'mucking up' it means misbehaving. If a thing is 'mucked up' it's been botched.
But muck used around animals usually means the same as everywhere else.

Substitute "fiddle" for "muck" and you would have the same thing.

So, what's the connection between a Stradivarius and s**t?
