Here's a picture of the earth's shadow almost covering the moon. I took it a little after 3:00 am EST

Thanks for the moonshot, bhs63, I heard about that on the radio but it was too cloudy for us to see it where I live.

Here's a glass of white wine.

The regular price is $3.00 (see small price ticket on the left) so not much of a bargain, really!

I'd send that to the local press Carole, you'd probably earn a few bob either for the scoop or from the firm as compensation. They'd probably blame human error but with labels that size the error would be of a corresponding proportion.

Here's Tescos just over the road from the shot yesterday.

Here are four lovely christmas cards which particularly touched me this year. Thank you so much lads and lassies, for your kind thoughts!!!

On the right is where my grandparents lived till 1975, the house next door copied the original windows they all once had while both added a floor on top of the old flat roof and removed the shutters.

A long road in Highgate, that ice is still over all the pavements round here.

I received homemade Christmas cookies from two of my neighbours this year, including one that was personalised!

Happy Christmas one and all!

Precious was determined to play with the snowman!

Hi All, It is sunny during the daytime here in Abuja, but cold at night.

Here is an artificial lake formed by the Bwari Dam in Abuja.

Some bubbles from me too .. hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas.

I spotted that piccie on your FB, copago. Thought it was great then, and still do

I was just thinking that the FB friends will be seeing the exact same photos for a while LOL
Here's the lunch to go with the drink - had a bit of a mixture of hot meat and cold salads .. was too hot for roast veg.

That looks delish!!!

Copago: That was LUNCH?? oh my..........

OnimisiB: ahhh, gorgeous picture, so serene : )

Is that Beef Wellington, Gordon? For lunch?!

We were recently in Singapore and found this wacky looking building. It is the Marine Bay Sands hotel and casino, and it has a large ship on the roof!

My Christmas presents included a Blue Jay backpack, wrapped in Blue Jay paper, with Blue Jay pens and notebooks hidden inside! I'm smiling

Sooo you like the Bluejays then?

Yes it was beef Wellington. I've never had it. I'm afraid I'm clueless about the rules of it but it was Christmas lunch so I reckon the rules go out the window lol You're probably not supposed ot have prawns with it either!

Very cool building, ozzz ... and Liz, if it makes you happy ... (who are the Bluejays???)

Ozzz: Yes, that's quite the structure. For folks who might be wondering, it's not really a boat up there though, it's the world's largest public cantilevered platform (they named it "SkyPark"). Anyway, here's an interesting link. I got dizzy just looking at the pictures lol

Marina Sands Infinity Pool

Crikey, I am glad we did not go up there. Those pictures are terrifying! We got about as high as the Ground floor- that is where the Casino is.

A funny thing about that casino- you are allowed to smoke, but not drink alcohol. In Australian casinos it is the other way around.

For sure!



Cute little birds, with a very loud voice, that I sometimes see in my back yard... and also my favourite baseball team
