[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 104314, member: 1991"] G'day, everybody. Jen, your parents' place sounds like a wonderful place to spend Christmas. Not least of all, having family together PLUS the enforced isolation! LDM/Sharon, I love the sound of difficult child's experiment, he seems to have really thought it out well. I'm very impressed! I'd be interested to know his hypothesis and conclusions, in detail. difficult child 3 has just done an experiment for biology, he had to assess necessary factors for germination. Wiped/Sharon, the Mexican Christmas sounds like fun - lots of guacamole and burritos? I'm wondering if all the snow you guys seem to be getting in the US is linked to all the storms we're having in Sydney. This is like summer when I was a child - school would get out after a hot sunny day, and it would be a race to see if I could beat the storm home. It was always a loud, wild storm with heavy downpour (but warm, refreshing rain you wanted to dance in) but it was gone and the sun shining again after ten minutes. Today's storm dumped a whole inch of rain in ten minutes (on us) and even more in other areas. I had watering cans and containers in the yard, bone dry and empty, that are now full. Amazing. And we've had these every day for several weeks now. Not always much rain - today was lovely. I didn't get a chance to dance in this one, though - there is always the risk that there is hail in it, when it's this heavy. We just got home from dinner at the local club, with Grandma as hostess. A Chinese banquet, mother in law shouting (which means 'buying for') me, husband, easy child 2/difficult child 2 & BF2, difficult child 1 & girlfriend and difficult child 3. easy child 2/difficult child 2 has finally got her engagement ring back after getting it re-sized, she was enjoying having it on her finger to show people there, we know most of the people who were in the club tonight. And driving home (all of five minutes away) difficult child 3 was enjoying the Christmas lights (never as spectacular as in other areas, or what we see of people in the US) and a single stag, grazing by the road outside our neighbour's place. We drove past a second time so difficult child 3 could get another look and he was worried that the deer might recognise our car on the second pass, and be nervous that the same people were stalking it. Kids! Enjoy your Friday! Marg [/QUOTE]
