Time to break out the masks for shopping indoors, and other places that are vectors for infection, like doctors' rooms, etc. Go to cinemas, pubs and bars if you must, but they are also hubs for infection, IMO

Holy shit you lot.
No prizes for the most popular gift
Hope you all get over it in the next few days and enjoy xmas with the family. Fingers crossed none of them get it before then either.

Lovely frame. Just makes me think of this bloke taunting you as a so called Ather King. You and your silly English knnnnigets.

First Christmas with one of our kids living overseas (Edinburgh); had our Christmas morning FaceTime call with her and then after was listening to White wine in the sun and started crying at the bit about the daughter being 9000 miles away. I'm definitely getting old and sentimental
We were doing 'minimal' presents. Tree can barely be seen. Kitten was wandering around with about 50mm of lametta hanging out of his mouth. Yes it was a full 300mm length. Doubt he will do that again.
This is pretty cool.Well I had my watch show up today, early Xmas present for me.
Look where it was made, proves my Communist credentials

One of m fav trinkets is a Cold War era globe, which still has the USSR mapped out.
No 9 dash line, though.

My Mrs has always spoilt me at So I returned the favour this year, a couple of the kid’s chipped in and we got her an electric recliner. I actually snagged a bargain, as it was marked at $1,090, I looked at it on Friday but wasn’t sure on it so I showed my daughter their website.
My daughter and I went back on Saturday and we decided to get it, she then said that they’d do the Boxing Day sale price of $1035. I hand over my cash so the Mrs didn’t see where I’ve been shopping and she starts doing the receipt, she goes you’re getting a bargain. That’s when I said “yeah on your website it’s originally $1699 marked down to $1,490”, she went a little pale and slapped my money on the counter and started looking at the computer and getting a little flustered.
I’m thinking I’ve lost my deal, I said “I thought it was an in store special”, she said “don’t worry you’re getting that price but someone is getting in trouble not me but someone will”. Then she looked in the till and asked me if I had any change, as I paid her in $50’s I’m like nope she goes what if we do $1,036 as that’s all change I have, I’m like “hey I already got a bargain I’m not going to complain about a dollar”.
Then this morning I got up before the Mrs and replaced her crappy one with the new one then got her up to do presents, she’d been up late with my daughter and the baby she was so tired she didn’t notice the chair she sits in it with baby still not noticing it. I then walked up and hit the button for it to tilt, she crapped herself but is now very happy.
While I’ve been trying to type this novella I had been feeling like crap all day, sore legs, sweating, so the Mrs goes do a Covid test.
FML, so much for a week off work and building the front fence, plus my daughter who just had the baby still lives with us and is feeling sick too, so is understandably upset, worrying about the baby.
Then to top off my bogan neighbours are having a party for the about the fourth night in a row. To set the scene for you, think about the Triple M radio station, think mid 90’s playing nothing but 80’s music. Fuck now it’s Cold Chisel fuck I hate these people most of it’s their kids and mates, who are only in their early twenties

I'm sure a Rotorburn Ninja team could be dispatched to cut off their power and chuck some prawn heads in the ventilation ducts of their bogan house.My Mrs has always spoilt me at So I returned the favour this year, a couple of the kid’s chipped in and we got her an electric recliner.

After writing all that I didn’t put what I got for Xmas, got the usual couple of Bunnings gift cards which never go astray, some clothes you know socks, jocks etc, new alarm clock but what really peaked my interest was these white blank goggles my mrs got me. I’ve spoken on here about some of my health issues and I get bad headaches, migraines, sore eyes etc on top of the other crap, so she decided to get some massage goggles that are rechargeable and when turned on they have different settings on it. It will massage your eyes and forehead as well use heat and air to help relieve the pain as well as play soothing music to you relax or you can Bluetooth your own music. At this stage I’m willing to give anything a go instead of medication so hopefully it will help.
