It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!
Sometimes you can learn something new just when your not expecting to learn anything at all.
Case in point: today, getting some non christmas food ( we aint doing christmas, no cards no pressies or commercialism.) we were so lucky, we did going into town ( 10 miles) getting in and getting what food we needed and then getting out with no traffic no ques and we avoided the christmas things and christmas crowds really quickly and easily.
magic. I did however learn something new vis a vis, all little old ladies in wheelchairs are scots.
Every little old lady I saw in a wheelchair had a tarten blanket over her knees proving her scotish ancestry to my satisfaction.
We have been invited to the next door neighbours who are obviously being "over festive" (due to them inviting us for a housewarming)
This is exactly my point, This invitation means (a.) I have to go, OR (b.) I dont go and then EVERY time I leave or come back into the house there is a risk they will see me and ask about why I didnt go.
So then I will have to become furtive every time without fail or exception whenever i go in or out, which means i will have to go to the 24hr tesco at night to do my shopping because there is less chance the next door neighbours will see me coming or going at night to ask me awkward questions in the first place.
So, I am go OR I suffer months of anxiety, stress and fear and panic and paranoia if I dont go.
What sort of a friendly neighbour thing is that to do to someone at christmas.
I only said hello to him once, and asked him a question about drainage out of curiosity and politeness having first mistaken him for a static garden gnome , in fairness I didnt have my glasses on.
"bring any leftover food or drink" the leaflet explains.....
Yeh right because with Dipsey around we are up to our eyeballs in spare food and leftovers,, ( Dipsey is like a food hoover and pedal bin combined into one almighty eating machine that is consuming the galaxy)
Drink? left over drink? The neighbours want my ameretto at christmas?
I may hide whether i go or whether I dont.

Dipsey is making brioch. apparently its a type of posh bread,, I bet you cant make bacon and egg sarnies with it.. Anyways this probably means we will have a very heavy artistic flour based sculpture later to look at.
Its the bread making machine, say out of 50 loaves you bake in it, you get one that looks like , tastes like, and is as heavy as normal bread.
Its the "others " that frighten me.
I hope brioch works, it sounds good and there are probably good pictures of proper brioch on the internet, I will post a photo up tommorrow and you can vote whether I should try and eat some or not.

Great music over the weekend, thanks all! And, now, a bit more Holiday-themed music before I start on my FAMOUS homemade eggnog (which my stubborn Greek father refused to taste one year until I assured him the eggs were pasteurized!).
My favorite Tchaikovsky piece (and ballet) of all time ("coda", only the first 90 seconds...)

Come on Rossy! Be adventurous! The brioch might go well with a sip of PJ's eggnog! I'll check in later to see a photo of it!

Merry christmas to everyone who is doing it,To those that are: I hope you have a gay old time. The brioch actually worked, funny thing is you have to let it prove for eight hours before knocking it back and baking it.
so there was a midnight bake last night and dipsey is eating brioch for breakfast allready.
The smell of fresh posh bread baking is cool.
who else is here escaping from christmas?
Hey we should have done an RST nativity play, me and wayne and griffin could be the three wise men, dipsey could do the virgin mary, zrftzzxr (thats a pain to remember Richard is easier) could be Joseph, that just leaves the baby jezzus and the donkey, (wonder if TJ would participate?)
I have been reliably informed (from an internet rumour) that Richard doesnt mind being called "dick for short" BUT, (it has been stressed)he does mind being called "short dick"
Sermon of the day:
And to all the tribes of the celts and ancient britons: verily I say to you, it shall come to pass that it shall rain in wales, do not go there uponeth, lest ye suffer great wetness and torrential torments.
It shall raineth tommorrow and the next day, and the centuries thereafter, just like it did in the begining, is doing now, and shall do allways untill the end of time.
For I have smited the Wales with this affliction to tormenteth the people that dwelleth there, for they have obviously displeased me in ways hitherto unmentioned.
I also cast upon the tribes of wales a great dampness that is all prevailing and will make them suffer in perpetual moistness whilst also being rained uponeth, so sayeth the lord. Amen.

(during my 5 minute cooking break...) Merry Christmas all !
as a side note: we absolutely CANNOT call "Richard" by his name anymore, oh no! My kid got in trouble in school the other day (imagine my delight when I accidentally passed by and saw him sitting outside the principal's office...) for saying to another kid, " You're a Richard !"
apparently....this is a new way of saying...." You're a D__k".
I miss being 10......
