I think my subconscious expected that I would need reserves of food and drink in case the End was indeed Nigh.

Reading it all is not only good for my French, but explains a lot about the way my neighbours look at the world.<br /><br />Enjoy the goodies, especially the cheese.Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021650718999668529.post-88740213052111204032012-12-24T11:21:12.354+01:002012-12-24T11:21:12.354+01:00Merry Christmas to you too :-)Merry Christmas to you too :-)Pueblo girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904318623281033442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021650718999668529.post-68962311191534954292012-12-24T10:04:48.380+01:002012-12-24T10:04:48.380+01:00I was glad that the Mayans got it wrong though, pe...I was glad that the Mayans got it wrong though, perhaps unfairly, I will blame them when I return to work after Christmas and encounter all the misery that brings with it. <br /><br />Have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021650718999668529.post-68398030740963720092012-12-24T09:50:51.532+01:002012-12-24T09:50:51.532+01:00Bonnes fĂȘtes !
