Christmas Holidays

Jan 02, 2012 15:09

I had a great Christmas break this year(s). On Boxing Day/Dec 26th I drove to Albany to spend some time with bardiegrub and shortblack while they were there. We stayed with bardiegrub's brother, who'd cooked a turducken for Christmas and needed help with the leftovers! I managed not to say anything weirdly fannish about it to him, but was delighted by the unexpected ( Read more... )

Oooh I like your boy!!! He's a handsome fella...definitely taking some close ups of him one day if he doesn't mind :)
Albany certainly has some pretty spots, I get down there twice a year usually for agility trials. Got a couple there in Feb.

And I have been liking all of checkthemargins fic right now. Even of pairings and premises I wouldn't normally bother with. Good fic to tide me over till next Saturday!!!

I don't actually have any really good photos of him, nothing like you have of your dogs! The ones in that post I linked to the other day are about my favourites. Or, wait, this one, but the quality is terrible. I'd love a good shot of him looking back at me over his rump against green grass, but in 9 years I haven't managed to get one and the window of opportunity for the green grass is small!

After you mentioned horses the other day I went window-shopping online and found a gorgeous leopard Appy in Queensland. I rung up about him this morning, but he was smaller than I like. Just as well.

I haven't read checkthemargins's non-Sam/Dean stuff, but I was really impressed with those two I mentioned!

Four days to go!

Lovely photos. Albany's a lovely spot.

I'm glad to hear you've had such a lovely Xmas.

Thanks for the recs. I haven't heard of that author, I'll have to check her out. :)

And YAY show this week. Though I have no idea when I will be able to watch it. Soon after it airs I hope.

Pretend to be sick on Saturday and get everybody else to go out without you?? No, I guess that probably falls into the category of addict behaviour requiring an intervention. My friend asked if I wanted to ride Sat and I was all, "No! I'm busy Saturday!" and then "Well I guess I could ride early in the morning. Or late. But I'm busy in the afternoon!" (She doesn't know about my TV obsessions.)

A good plan, only it's my sister's baby shower. Over 40 people turning up at 12.30. Heaps of prep before hand too. So NO CHANCE! :(((

I'm hoping to catch it in the evening. :))

Glad it was a good trip, and good riding!

I'm going to make a point of doing a lot more riding this year, both for App's health and fitness and also for fun. I haven't been making maximum use of having horses!

Those are fantastic pictures! I always feel that way about wind turbines, like they are an alien invasion force coming up over the hill. You look fantastic too!

It was nice to learn that those Swordspoint Yuletide stories I liked were yours!
