Christmas dinner with Cracker

Boxing day. Feeling deeply sorry about the earthquake and tsunami at Southern Asia.

The Staples family came back from their Ski trip in France, and we had a bigbig Christmas dinner! With a Huge Turkey, bacon, saugages, parsnip, sprouts, mixed veg, roasties as main course; Trifle, Christmas pudding (yes again), and mince pie for dessert(S), and coffee afterwards! The boys had grown a lot, but little Sam is still as cute as before!

And guess what follows dinner??? TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was simply glued to my seat on the sofa in the living room since the afternoon til late at night watching TV. Nothing too exciting was on, just University Challenge, Marple (an Agatha Christie show), Murder on the River Nile, Haunted House. I had an English All day Breakfast at 9.30pm as my supper!!!

Heading to London on 27th.

My summary of my stay at Iris' - lovely, glad, grateful to be there, albeit a little bit cold, that's why I am always in the living room because it is where the fireplace locate! Loads of nice food, and TV!!!! Did not manage to do any work! And I left my Evian facial wash there in the bathroom. :(

There is one thing special which I noticed. Their (Iris' and Iain's) gaze for each other as the other person spoke. The gaze says adoration, admiration and love. Then I wonder, if I will ever be fortunate enough to find someone who would be looking at me in that way after being together so many many many years, when we both grow old and wrinkled. Being in a house of a loving couple does lighten one's hopes and dreams.

Yes, LONDON SALES, here I come!
