Rainbows
So another xmas is a wrap. We had six people this year. Our dining table extends enough to fit six people but the surrounding space isn’t really all that big so we hung out in the back room with football (silenced) on the TV and music in many languages on the pod. A lot of it Celtic but not all. A couple of fireplace whisperers fed the faaaaar and all was well.
This is the Solo stove the GG asked for and I provided. I’ve had my eye on these stoves for a while now. They keep flying by on facebook and they look really cool but I didn’t explore them because 1) I will not click on a facebook ad to buy ANYTHING and 2) I wasn’t really sure the GG might want one. It turns out his ID twin has one and the GG likes it. Still, I did not click on a facebook ad. I went straight to the company site in my browser and ordered it from there. I am surprised at how big it is and not sure which vee-hickle he is gonna squeeze it into. But that’s his problem, as long as the vee-hickle is not Cygnus because she is mine and I hate when she is filled up with crapola.
Oh yeah. I got a BATTERY! I am laughing about this because there is a facebook meme about how your wife never forgets the year you gifted her a MOP. Well. I have never received a MOP but the GG and I have a long history of giving each other vacuum cleaners. Happily received. Yes really. This year I asked for a Dyson cordless vac. We have two already (we have a lot of vacs) but there are battery issues with each, some of them our errors. So what did he get me? A BATTERY for a Dyson cordless. Am I happy? Yes, unless it doesn’t charge properly. If it doesn’t, a Dyson cordless will be on my bday (January) list. Unless I just get out there and order my own.
Merry merry if you celebrate xmas and cheers to a wonderful day if you don’t.
Will there be an ice storm tomorrow morning? Time will tell.

Hoping for no ice storm, yuck. We’ve had a wide range of nasty weather lately and I’m already over it. I have my mom’s Shark vacuum and the battery isn’t very good in it but I can usually do a couple rooms before it craps out.
