Xmas lunch

First layer of plate consists
Of pickled salad
Beetroot and feta salad
With some garden salad
Wasabi dressing
Ham and turkey

Out of room
What to do?

Second layer consists of
roast vegetables and pork
And gravy made from scratch
Not forgetting the peas and honey carrot

Curses!
The gravy has leaked down
As gravy does
And mixed with the salad and wasabi dressing!

I shoulda thought it through better
Coulda
Woulda
Shoulda

Groan
So full

Of look ... watermelon!

Ohhhhh nooooo
Even more full

Cradle the old blind chicken
Being harrassed by the bad tempered peahen

Feed broken crackers to the peacock

Feed the xmas treat to the other chickens
Dried mealy worms
...
Chickens don't understand what they are
Chickens walk over treat in search for crackers

Bok bok bok

Bah!

It is 12.30 pm and I am still wide awake, and due at work at 7 am.

Not a happy happenstance.

Faffing about making guacamole and prepping for variations on tadzike for tomorrow .

Imagining laying some aside for the delightful doctor popping back for a couple of weeks before heading back to the UK. 

Imagining inviting him to the sisters for entertainment in the meantime.

Not sure he would be as entranced as I by Critical Role.

Was beside myself with delight to see a theatre full of people give standing ovations for high dice rolls by a troupe of voice actors playing Dungeons and Dragons, ha ha.

One of those things I had never contemplated happening, but which HAS happened, and I am glad it did.  The world would be poorer for the lack of people who would travel hundreds of miles to attended an event to listen/watch a bunch of people play dungeons and dragons in costume on a stage and go nuts when they role a high number on a twenty sided dice.  That is the world I want to belong to :)
