On day 2 of our 3 day state wide storm.. yesterday over 20K homes without power. Backyard is almost like a swimming pool (the lawn will look great in a few days). The front road is flooding over and it's rapidly going up our driveway. Sent a "beginning" video to a couple forumers already . "We Will Rebuild" ! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6343532/images/mW7FMmAyG_vqxkNOJyyh.gif) Hope everything OK Bro, your my bro from another mother.

I have been extremely restrained this December, but the first mince pie of the season just met its match. I made a mince pie last week. Most of it disappeared the first day (my whole family ate some, not just me. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6343532/images/IwGTjEvWiMqDCgEk5m52.gif) ) Probably will have to make another one when I see my sister in Florida. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6343532/images/IwGTjEvWiMqDCgEk5m52.gif)

About four genteel mouthfuls, so I wasn't being gluttonous when I ate the whole thing. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6343532/images/IwGTjEvWiMqDCgEk5m52.gif)
EDIT: Out of interest Ela, do your mince pies still have meat in them as well as fruit? They did here in Victorian times but now they're a sweet treat full of preserved fruits and spices only.

And actually some do make them with meat. But I never have.

So the official tally for our group at work for "Mo'Vember" has been locked in and donation$ sent off - our team of 7 managed to raise just over AUST $2,635.00 to help support Men's Cancer charities. I do it every year, I still am rocking a beast of a "Yosemite Sam"/Bikie-Biker moustache/goatee combo - sort of like "Lemmy" from the legendary Motorhead. It will go after Xmas.
Been a real tough year, lost 2 people (1 relative and 1 an old work mate) to the dreaded C..
2 weeks ago we all donated 4 hours at "Backpacks 4 Kids" - a charity organisation co-incidentally setup by someone that was in the year above me in Primary School. It's all about setting up emergency bags of clothes/toys/comfort items for displaced children who all of a sudden are removed from their homes and placed in secured Care for many unfortunate reasons.
Tomorrow we are off to Australia Red Cross to donate blood , I am O+ and coincidentally so is my twin brother ! . They legally don't let you donate any earlier then 13 weeks minimum -I believe some other countries have a shorter time in between..
You get back what you give in life. "Life. Be In It".

My cousin told me he worried about me he said I don't get passionate or excited about films, games like I used too, I said losing dad to covid in a very unexpected way it changed me & I just feel numb now.
I used get fired up about movies & how Disney ruined Star Wars & no doubt many remember my epic rants on the old BF forum but last few years I no longer care it'slike i no longer have a soul just emptiness. .
I feel like Mad Max a burnt out desolate shell of a man haunted by the demons of the past.

My mom being her usual ungrateful nasty self, no matter what I do to help it not enough, I just given up.
Why did God take away the people I loved like my nan but surrounded me with selfish people 90% of my family.
If it weren't for my two staffies I'd call it a day.

Last day of the end of the working day year (Xmas Hollys), most of us leave work early - My Manager and his Manager both pretty much forced me out of work at 1:30pm, not before the I.T. Department bought a LOT of party size pizzas to share with the Accounting Department and Marketing.. Yummy, then I find out I received an Internal compliment officially loaded in the system from a work colleague who has just about to hit 30 years, I helped her out with a problem she couldn't work out. What a great end to the day, we reopen Wednesday 27th December.
Chillin' at home now with Junior ..

Right, everybody- since I have to work tomorrow and then drive home to my parent's place where the rural internet is even less reliable as it is here (I won't be taking any computer stuff with me): HAPPY CHRISTMAS from me! Enjoy, have a good time with family and friends and loved ones and try not to eat too much! (I have again provided an organic home-grown goose from the farm of a colleague for the family feast, expensive, yes, but I have videos to prove that they had a good life) All the best! My fish Angron also wishes you a Happy Christmas (he was a small sensation on Reddit and people said he looked like Santa)

Just in time for Christmas, the British Pantomime is to be considered for UNESCO listing as part of our cultural heritage: {Spoiler} 'Oh no it isn't!'Yes, really it is, but the joke was inevitable wasn't it? ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/6343532/images/IwGTjEvWiMqDCgEk5m52.gif)
