Tis the day before Christmas and all through the house

IT'S DARK!!!!!

I woke around 4.30 as the bladder don't have the same restraint it used to, and all was well in the house, unfortunately I was quite cold and even snuggling into My Beloved who is generally hotter than burnt toast, I remained cold, around 5.30 I heard a bang and initially thought nothing of it, until I realised the downstairs electrics were out, we did try and fix the problem but using torches and My Beloved being semi naked, nah scrap that he was fully naked we couldn't figure the problem, had we just opened the front door we would have had enough light not to know what the heck was wrong with the electrics, frighten a few guards with My Beloved's nakedness and generally let out any heat that was managing to hide in the corners of the house. Needless to say we went back to back colder than before we left it and eventually around 9 got up again.

We worked out that the coffee machine was fusing the downstairs electrics and not before My Beloved had flicked and flicked and flicked the switches, every one of them, individually at least 10 times, it was like ding dong merrily on high with all the appliances pinging back to life with every flick, I gave up resetting the clock on the third flick, I had to tell myself to 'Walk away'...

No time for this gym this morning as I was too busy following after My Beloved and his flicking finger, so once I baconed the Princes we were showered and ready for Tel Aviv, today it was time to buy veggies for the Christmas lunch and show the Princes the delights that Tel Aviv Carmelit market has to offer, we walked the length and breadth of the market and sniffed and squished whatever we found, the Princes are delighted that here you can buy a cup of pomegranate that someone else had peeled and eat it with a spoon, it sure is a clean way to eat that messy fruit, so a cup each was purchased, now the fact that they are seriously huge would not normally be a problem but Kitty decided they were odd mainly because the bigger the fruit the bigger the middle bit....

We took our lunch in Jaffa right at the top, two chicken snitzels for My Beloved and Katie, a salad for me and pasta for Yabba, now the snitzel was big enough to feed a small army and one could easily have been shared between two, my salad was luscious and Yabba's pasta was mountainous, we all managed to pretty much finish our dishes with a few little bits and pieces leftover.

Home again we headed and the Princes hit the pool, and I hit the gym, which once again was not empty, pah! what is occurring three other's were sharing my oxygen, and the way I was breathing I needed more than my fair share, its ok my grunting and groaning and purple face soon sent them running out.

This evening we had a family trip out to the Yellow petrol station, and we are now the proud owners of a new coffee machine, normal life will resume once again, well once the caffeine has been ingested.
