Swapped 6 hours waiting in the parking lot at the Energylandia Theme Park for 6 hours in a small Community shopping zone car park.
It’s cold, damp and windy with sunny spells.
I have Turkey, Mayo sarnies loaded with Cranberry & Apple stuffing.
It is wonderful.
Peace, quiet and no Polish Christmas Carols/Wham or Cliff
The Mince Pie is for later and I am well sorted

Bliss. Home, and a civilised meal with another branch of the family.

If anyone feels like a really nice evening stroll, this place near Hartley Wintney is still open for tomorrow and Friday evenings.
Illuminated gardens at West Green House, just past Hook. Absolutely magical evening.

Christmas is over.
No need for depression or suchlike - turkey is stripped, carcass has been boiled for stock, so Christmas soup is being finished off today, together with any leftover sprouts etc.
The bits stripped off the carcass go into the soup, and the half breast left over has already been turned into turkey curry - one lot for three of us tonight, and three other similar portions into the freezer.
Also gammon and lentil soup from the gammon juices to freeze.
Not a scrap has been wasted, nor fed to other peoples dogs!

No, she put it down for the photo. I usually make her wear it when we’re out. 
And she wears it at home?
There’s a line in Violent Night.
Granny to daughter re her Son.
I begged you to beat him when he was a Child.
Well that was running through my head ALL day at work.
Lovely but never travelled group, so it’s like herding Jellyfish. Stop for a smoke every 20 minutes, kids utterly brats. But nice in a humble sort of way.
Anyway Zakopane (pop 38,000) currently has about 400,000 tourists there. Horrific crowds, but did my thing jumped 1 hour queues, found parking and this
Now THIS was Christmasy

There’s a new version of Uno called Uno Extreme. Instead of just drawing cards a machine fires a random number at you. Quite good since it’s hard to accuse the inanimate thing of bias.
