Oh and I have NEVER heard the terms Blue Job and Pink Job.

Hello Ed, TY for the Golden Dragon. I am up later than usual as I was captivated my a show on our ABC about a competition re. portrait artists. Re. Dad, no I never saw him boxing. Only photos. One of his rewards was a musical pagoda that you could place cigarettes in and they all popped up at different times. Mum and Dad smoked in those days so I had plenty of cigarettes to put into it. Totally facinated me as a child. It had a wind up mechanism like a music box.  I have forgotten the tune that it played and not sure what happened to it. It does seem strange now that a trophy awarded for sport encouraged smoking. I will soon be in bed as it is now well past my bedtime. Once again it is raining here. Have a great day.

Hello Ed, TY for the Mallard. My Dad was a Champion Bantam Weight Boxer in the Australian Navy when her served in New Guinea after WW2. He was actually chosen for the Australian Olympic team but as luck would have it he got Tonsilitis when he returned to Melbourne. I didn't find the Advent Candle setting so I guess that I tossed it. Oh well easy enough to create a new one. I think that little Jesse will enjoy seeing it. Stay safe putting up your lights and enjoy your new day.

Morning splash--It is white outside and -3 but calm. I don't have a lot of snow here but apparently when Kevin got home yesterday he had to blow out his laneway before he headed down to the farm. He did not fancy trying to go down back roads very early in the morning in the dark if it was still snowing and blowing. Leg seems fine and the surgeon was happy with it,I still have some healing to do but everything is closed up so that is progress. Kevin did get all my Christmas stuff out and it is in one big pile in the corner of the dining area. I started to look yesterday but i was not into all that stuff yet but did get the wreaths up and started at my front window. Will get at it gradually and not over do--also no climbing so I am only allowed at ground level and I guess that may cramp the decorating. Off to try and do an early load of laundry--Have a good day and I hope you can do well untangling and test the lights,
