Thought for the day :"After the wise men offered up their gifts of gold and frankincense.. they said 'Wait, there's myrrh...'"

So, what started out yesterday as a well planned trip - the Vectra was filled up, packed, dogs in and everything ready to go and we got as far as Tome & Jay's before the engine started making a frightful noise!
At first we thought it may be a flat tyre but no it was definitely coming form the engine.
Susie thought it may be lack of oil and the dip stick suggested that she could be right.
Luckily as the bonnet was up - Sally was driving by and stopped to see what the problem was and angel that she is she took me home to collect a can of oil and took me back..
Sadly - no luck other than clouds of oily smoke - may have overfilled can't really tell.
Drove the Vectra back limping and coasting down the hill - Sally thought we were going very fast for a broken down car - took the bend as fast as I thought it was safe to do and got half way up the lane before the transmission failed completely to move the car - step in Susie pushing and then with Sally and we got to the flat and was able to park up..
Thanking sally she went on her way and we were left with Nancy kindly coming up from Narberth and picking us up !!!
A lovely Christmas eve and Day though toby was petrified of the laminate flooring and 'Thena is in prime ravenous mood at the moment. One second out of sight and Susie caught her up in one the bedrooms raiding the chocolate money and a Cadbury's Orange !! The rest of the festivities found me on 'THena watch a lot of the time.
Toby wouldn't settle the first night and Susie ended up on the couch downstairs, one of the few places he felt safe.
Second night he was better and slept on the bed with us - don't normally allow but was worth it to have a few hours sleep.
So - Christmas day it was and it was after 5pm when we finished opening the presents.
Had a make yourself a piggy bank.
Bunnie and Scarlett got me a fire breathing dragon light and some flying piggies
Cooker worked in the gazebo and dinner was lovely
Cheers
