Thanks a lot pal, Feliz Navidad! 😁🎄👍

Sounds great Barrett, please give my best to everyone 😊👍

Thanks Steve 😊👍

After lunch, I had a walk to the first of the Papagayo beaches, but found the experience underwhelming, so I'm back at the hotel, drink a large Bellini, surrounded by folks doing Xmas video calls! 😁 I'll head back to my room shortly, to drop my stuff off, and get changed (for the fourth time today! ). Then I'll either go and sit in the sun, and do some gentle boozing, or have a siesta 😉 Hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas 👍

Not old enough to have watched it but if it was anything like my dad explains it…….I would not be over it yet 😂😂. Ice Bowl correct?

I was in a sports memorabilia store in Houston once, and saw a nice framed photo of the touchdown for Green Bay Packers fans, and a woman started yelling at a store clerk saying "You shouldn't be selling that here! I remember that game!"

For those that don't know, the "Ice Bowl" was the 1967 NFL Championship game, won at the last second by a quarterback sneak by Bart Starr (No. 15). The game was played in 13 degrees below zero. Packers went on to win the Super Bowl, which was the AFL-NFL Championship game. The leagues merged in 1970.
 
Merry Christmas Guardians! 🎄 Look at what showed up under the tree this morning!

I’m very grateful for my family and friends, especially my new group of friends on the porch! Thank you all for accepting me into the group. It amazes me to see the generosity and kindness of all of you towards each other. It’s very comforting to know that there are still wonderful people spreading kindness and happiness each and every day 😍
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to each and every one of you!

Merry Christmas from Australia fellow lamb lovers.

No photo of a lamb today and if you can bear through a story I'll tell you why.
Growing up my dad was a butcher, then a shearer before buying his small piece of land. There he and my step mother struggled along (unbeknownst to me as a kid). We came from very much a working class background and most of the meat we ate was game. My fondest memories of those years are all around hunting and game. He always had two folding knives in the ute, a clip point rabbit knife for skinning and dressing rabbits (rabbit was our chicken back then and the skins were still worth some money) and the venerable lambsfoot. The lamb did odd jobs like cutting hay twine, opening packages or whatnot and cutting up food. When I think of his lamb the main memory is my brother and I sharing the front passenger seat after we'd been cutting firewood and dad slicing up pieces of salami made from a deer he'd shot and passing them around to us. We may not have had much, but I never felt poor as a kid with moments like that.

Fast forward to today And my dad was recently sitting in my ute as we went yabbying. His lamb is long lost and mine lives in my centre cup holder where it's used the same way his was. He was admiring it and saying he'd love one again. Now it's not a perfect knife, she's quite a strong pull and F&F isn't at the top, but it's still a sheffield lamb and to him that's a big tick. He can't use the internet and while he scours second hand shops for knives, has never had the opportunity to get another.

So I've got my lamb boxed up ready to gift to him this morning when we take the kids around for our family Christmas. I reckon it'll put a nice smile on his face.

Anyway Guardians, it's 6:40am here Christmas morning and as I've been writing this under the patter of rain on the tin roof time has ticked away and the kids will soon be rising so I must sign out.

Wishing you all a safe and happy Christmas, and all the best for the year to come.

Thanks mate, I thought I'd better post the second one, because it occured to me that only a few folks here have actually heard me speak! 😁 Think Sean Bean, but with better pocket cutlery! 🤣👍

It depends how I feel in the morning Bob! 🤣 All being well though, I might either go to Playa Blanca, or walk to the Rubicon Marina 😊 That's good to hear my friend, I hope she is being looked after 😊👍
