We will be having a turkey dinner on Xmas Eve with family, at theirs. So, on Xmas day, roast leg of lamb (NZ) and roast pork with crackling, roasted veg, cauliflower cheese, mashed potatoes with cream and scallions, Yorkshire puddings etc. Haven't decided on the starter or sweet yet, but a cheeseboard, crackers and home-made bread rolls to finish. We'll probably be eating leftovers for a few days after.

Turn the aircon down to 22C at 8.00am. Prepare Xmas lunch for a 2.00pm start. Eat, drink and be merry with family and friends until the sun goes down, then loosen the top button of one's trousers and sit outside with a glass of something nice. I have cooked our traditional Xmas lunch every year since moving here in 2005 - I've started planning the menu and I'm looking forward to the day.

Hope all goes well for you.

Life expectancy charts are massively affected by infant/childhood/teenage deaths. If you survive into your twenties, never ride a motorcycle, and stay away from minibuses, you could live forever.

I enter the expiry date of my extension of stay.

Sounds like a normal week in Thailand. I predict there will be road deaths, especially involving motorcycles.

Your Sunday post is late Owl. I was getting a bit concerned. Finding out that people have lied, then losing part of the farm to pay off debts is bound to have that effect. On the other hand you have lots of positive things going on (Mildred, dogs, cats, fish, snails - is the hat lady still in the picture?). My favourite aria. Keep Mildred away from boys for as long as possible, or you might have the same dilemma as Gianni.

I won 90.000 baht on the underground lottery (3 numbers) in 2021 using combinations of my daughter's new car plate number. Never won since or before.

Walking away from an abuser is not as easy as you may think.

I have no experience of repossession, but my thoughts are ... Presumably, the car is now owned by the loan company. If the loan company is willing to sell the car to you, maybe it can be registered in your name. But they may want more than just the amount owing.

You need to provide links (youtube or other) so we can all enjoy.

That would be my second favourite of the shopping mall Christmas loop songs. But you can't beat these yuletide lyrics ... You're a bum You're a punk You're an old slut on junk Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed You scumbag, you maggot You cheap lousy faggot Happy Christmas your arse I pray God it's our last

Examples of sad Christmas music?

Have you tried self-reflection? Egocentric vs. Narcissistic Since the term egocentric describes someone who is self-focused and unable to imagine any other perspective than their own, you might wonder if this is the same thing as narcissism. Although there are some parallels, there is a distinct difference between egocentric and narcissistic personalities.

True.

Shane MacGowan died today.

Not a week ago. That thread is over a year old, but it does contain the answers.
