Christmas Day

Christmas Day December 2021 a game of Cricket on the Green  - just one family playing more people joined in later.
2nd photo Miss E on Christmas Day looking for wee fish in Little River and yes, she found some.


Hope these two video have come out alight - don't often do videos but wanted to give them a try.

A few videos of the two grandchildren who were on holiday with us at Christmas time December 2021.
Miss E loves slime, so she is adding glitter to her slime she is making.
 


Miss E and Mr Z

It's hard to believe but my husband was putting away the outside umbrella into the shed when he saw 'eyes' peeking at him when he put down the umbrella.  With these 'peeking eyes' came a body as big as a mouse, that body and eyes landed on the floor of the shed, shook itself and flew off into our barbecue area attaching itself to a top corner of that covered in area then it flew away - so what was it?
A clue, something we don't see here in suburbia and something I've never ever seen in Tasmania, Australia..Just have a guess and I'll tell you next post..

      Glittered slime looks better than plain slime.

  4. The videos are good. Christmas Day cricket is such a tradition for many, as is an after dinner nap for some. Yes, it must be a bat. I'm surprised you have never seen them.

    1. Have only seen bats on the big Island, never seen one here in Tasmania Andrew.
      Usually Christmas Day cricket is held on the oval at the park - not really an oval but it will do. The children play cricket, parents snooze then wake up and join in the cricket match...always cricket in our street when the children were much younger.

  8. Bats get a bad rap-- In the 30 years we've lived in our house, we've twice had a bat decide to come in. I got them in a small fish net and sent them back to the great outdoors. We experienced a warm Christmas day's walk on the beach in Southern California one year. The main thing is you all had a really good day.

    1. Bats are not my favourite creature at all, I would nearly die if one got in the house :)
      The thing is, 'did you enjoy you Christmas walk on the beach', I'm sure you did...yes, we had a wonderful day thanks.

  11. Christmas time, holidays and summer are the perfect combination to spend pleasant moments for the whole family, but especially for children. The videos are very good.
    I was curious to know what animal your husband saw. Could it be a bat?

    1. Monday for the answer Maria.
      Children love Christmas as you say, the presents from Santa I guess and of course there is a lot more to Christmas as we know :)

  12. I am sure that we could all enjoy making slime! It's one of the great things about having grandchildren that you can do all kinds of silly stuff! As for the mystery creature - a flying fox perhaps?

    1. Yes we can do all kinds of stuff because of grandchildren and often those things are things we never had when we were children..
