Happy Non-Denominational Winter Festival!

Miss von Brandenburg notes that it was Christmas yesterday, wot with her being a FOREIGN Heathen an' t'ing.  I expect disgraced former International Development Secretary Piggi Patel's deport-o-bots will shortly be using this as a reason to revoke her BRITISH citizenship and ship her off to the Fatherland asap, together with her small wooden pyramids that revolve by candle-power.

And I got up at 5:15 to have breakfast, so I can get a ride in before the festivities start.

Happy Christmas all

I don’t know Germans who eat carp. We had Bratwurst with Rotkohl yesterday but they often have potato salad.

More Eastern Europe I think. Poland, Czech rep and Slovakia.  Local fishmonger used to get it in for the Poles at Xmas.

I once had carp in a restaurant in France. It was really good. Smoked carp as a starter, then main was carp fillet stuffed with almonds and served in a cream based sauce.

Aye, Merry Christmas, all.  The French had their réveillon last night, which is also an after-midnight effort with an XS of grub & drink, so the streets are dead quiet this morning apart from the odd hardy soul battling the hangover/dyspepsia with fresh O2 & drizzle.

Happy Christmas everybody! We're staying with daughter for the duration so got woked by 2 year old granddaughter at some ungodly hour. Still, at least I'm not on cooking duties.

Tigs (8 year old ginger cat) decided to transform into a kitten at 4.45am, chewing my feet and charging up and down the stairs.  He's stoned on catnip now.

Merry Christmas all,

I can beat that 4:45, with no 1 son having a 2am seizure and then sitting laughing his head off while Mrs ED tried to give him a drink.

Nope.  You can stay in bed all day if you wish. 

We're both in various stages of winter cold / flu / undetected covid.  I am at day 10 and mllePB at day 5.  The tests consistently show negative for covid but we haven't been taking any chances.

Christmas Day has been postponed for a week.

Carp is a traditional dish in southern Alsace, sliced between the vertebrae and deep-fried in batter. Billions of bloody bones and litres of grease.

Neither carp nor turkey have been consumed here. But lots of other stuff has.
