I reckon so Bill, or escape it!Nice place to celebrate the holiday season.
Good evening Guardians. Cold blast came through today. Going into the teens I'm afraid. Indoor sports only for the next couple of days. My HHB will be in the pocket helping open gifts and no doubt breaking down boxes.

Have a great time LeonGood evening Guardians. Saturday Afternoon here on Christmas Eve. Just having a cup of tea after doing some cooking, beautiful day, but gets hot from tomorrow. Did not want to be stuffing around in the heat tomorrow, so cooked some things i can have cold tomorrow. Will have the blinds drawn to keep the joint cool, and did not want to heat it up by cooking. Enjoy your Christmas Eve when you awaken and avoid the last minute rush if you can, the shops here were jam packed this morning, i just nicked over to the supermarket to grab something, if it was crowded was going to turn straight around and outta' there. Was in out in 2 minutes, might be the new time to shop on Christmas Eve, late. That's your Christmas Present.![]()

You're just out of training with the sand.I'm used to rushing around sight-seeing on holiday, but I'm a lot older than the last time I went away.
Keepwarm Bob!-7° to start the day.

Yes, it's a very long time since I've walked on soft sand, and I've never walked for 5 miles in it, followed by another couple of miles, with a couple of very steep ascents and descents. I hadn't planned it, but I find it hard to stop sometimes, and the scenery was beautiful. I was limping very heavily yesterday, so hopefully some rest will be beneficialYou're just out of training with the sand.
Lol...You're just out of training with the sand.
Happy Christmas Eve, my friend... Enjoy your relaxing day.
Cool picture.

Enjoy your Christmas Eve John.Lol...![]()
That's so true.
First day I'm good for about half an hour in the sand before my back starts to cramp up... but every day gets better and eventually you get used to it.
Happy Christmas Eve, my friend... Enjoy your relaxing day.

Your lamb is aging gracefully TW.Jack Black after the year you've had, maybe being a vacationer would be more valuable to you than being a tourist anyway. Hope today is wonderfully restorative for you.
Merry Christmas Eve to all the Guardians!

Hope you get some rest today Jack. Enjoying your photos.Good morning Guardians, first time I've been on this kind of vacation where most folks just want to laze around by the pool. I was going to go off on another adventure today, but I decided I should try and rest. My ankle is hurting from a long hike on Wednesday, mostly in soft sand, and my legs, knees, and pretty much the rest of me, is aching too! I'm used to rushing around sight-seeing on holiday, but I'm a lot older than the last time I went away. So, against my nature, I'm going to try to do as little as possible today, and hope I'm feeling less worn out tomorrowI hope you've all got everything together for the big day, and that you have a wonderful Christmas Eve

Christmas in Missouri my a**. We were 5 degrees this morning, which is 10 degrees warmer than yesterday morningPeace to all the Guardians, especially if you have any last minute rushing around to do. We've been hit with a cold snap here in SW Florida, the temp right now is only 40°, with an expected high of just 49°. Feels like Christmas back in Missouri. Everyone, have a blessed holiday!

That is awesome Todd! So cool. I think about family quite a bit this time of year tooA couple of nights ago we had some fillets. Our intention was to grill them but because of the frigid temperatures we cooked them inside. My son wanted to cook them and when I snapped this photo it occurred to me that now that old cast iron skillet has been used by four generations of our family.
Back at you Black Mamba.Everyone, have a blessed holiday!
