Our fruit is chopped and soaking in brandy. As usual, we have been unable to find chow chow preserve for Charmaine Solomon's recipe, which will be delicious none the less.

Ahhh christmas fruit cake,
I am sorry to have to tell you all that my daddys fruit cake is the best. It is dark and rich and moist and the best in all the land.
My grandad gave him a kenwood chef mixer about 25 years ago for the making of the family Christmas cakes. Now Dad only needs it once a for the annual christmas cakes so he gave it to me on permanent loan on the condition I bring it over for the cake baking.
25 years later it still runs like a dream and dads cakes are a thing of joy ![[Axe murder]](graemlins/lovedrops.gif)

Last night took part in service at Notre Dame for the French Council of Churches service for COP 21. A very ecumenical clergy procession - I ended up perched near the pulpit. But the actual conference is not going to give the necessary results, according to those in attendance. Despair, leavened by hope.

DD, we're getting quite a bit of smoke from a burning-off fire at Banks Ave Nth Turramurra. That looks to be just behind the shops in Bobbin Head Rd. I hope all is well.

A great service at my sister's deaconing today. FD loved processing with all the clergy. Unfortunately this now means that with two clergy people in the family, Christmas is going to be an interesting day of juggling priorities and two people who need to nap in the afternoon.

The Christmas season has moved closer today. Mrs Curly summonsed me to line a large tin in three layers of newspaper, three of brown paper and two of greaseproof paper. That means she is about to make the Christmas cake - I think tomorrow will be the day, with a relatively mild forecast.
Meanwhile, there surely can't be too many school activities left for the year. I can tick off one presentation day, a jazz cafe and a 3 hour music showcase from Biggest's school, and an outdoor stage band concert, drama night and arts showcase for Middle and Little Miss's school. Only presentation night for the latter to go.
Apart from hosting senior and junior fellowship pool parties at our place on Friday, while I'm simultaneously being roadie for Middle's band, and an open audition for the Good Friday Thingo on Monday night.
Only five days to go...

Went to a charismatic mass last night just to shake the year off. I feel all peopled out. My volunteer work culminated in the organising of a large ecumenical Christmas party on Saturday for prison ministry volunteers and their guests. This function always has a frisson of danger as we do not know who will bring who and most of the families involved are going through serious difficulties that escalate at this time of year.
But God held it all together and praises and carols were sung. Santa did lose his britches at one point when the string holding them up gave way, but apart from that all good.
I really, really wanted one day of complete rest on Sunday - but got a phone call that the volunteer's shed had been broken into, so I had to go and check it. As most of the admin stuff is at my house, and all the music equipment is elsewhere, the thieves would have been extremely disappointed. The shed is full of books for a charity book sale and none of us mind if some were taken. Somehow I suspect not.

Looking forward to January and having at least 5 minutes rest.

Times like you're experiencing, and Saturday mornings, I'm almost glad we could only have the one child. And of course Biggest would be on holidays now and is of course helping in the garden, mowing lawns, trimming edges and then going off to earn some money stacking shelves.....

And in other shippie sightings: MM was co-directing a combined carols service last night at The Church With The Pond. TP & I took B1.1 & B1.2 - it was a traditional Lessons & Carols and the boys coped with it quite well. The music was, of course, beautiful - the highlight for TP were the bits sung in Latin and for the boys it was the carols they got to sing. Sitting right underneath the timpani and trumpets was a different surround sound experience!
And pleasingly for me, not a Santa in sight.

Well of course, that's possible. Alternatively he could be writing music, playing with his new keyboard, watching youtube videos about films and books he isn't studying, teaching a music student or two, writing down ideas for an alternate English extension project (as against the one he is doing), talking about going to the library to start his history extension research and wandering around the house pretending to look for the "lost" music for the pieces he's supposed to be learning.
Hopefully the spinning wheels will get some traction soon. At least we know where he is, he's content and he's not out getting drunk and falling over.
Mrs Curly told me it was too early to try the Christmas cake last night. I was not content until I found the last of the packet of gourmet shortbread biscuits with a spoonful of fruit mince inside them. Yum

Is 2016 Biggest's last year at the school with the boater? I think I missed some years in the middle there, but he sounds on track to be just like others in that year.
I am sure my eldest grandson is similar, although he did stack shelves at night for some months at local IGA. Does Biggest also have a strong helping of teenage sense of entitlement too?

All hints welcome please. I was given piccolo size of Brown Bros Prosecco as donor knew i would be by myself this week. All my sons are very good at opening anything fizzy without spilling a drop. I removed foil before opening the other night, only to find that the arthritis in right thumb and fingers stopoed me from removing cork. I put it back into fridge then.
Any hints? I would really like to have it tonight. My brother was not very helpful at all. Tongue in cheek, he suggested using my teeth. Not on.

Yes, he's finishing next year, but this is his first year there so I think overall he isn't indoctrinated with entitlement, just usual teenage self-centredness. There are glimmers of hope, but our trust in him has been misplaced this week.

Sorry, I did not mean to connect school and entitlement. Grandson has it too as do several of his friends. He attends a GLE school with a fairly good academic record in western suburbs. Has been prefect thisyear, continuing next year. The entitlement is what family sees.

I am watching the clouds anxiously after last night's storm. Middle son is playing keyboard for Municipal Carols by Candlelight tonight.
It is held in local park and they do have a sheltered backup if needed. Whole event is free, provided by local council, including candles and supper afterwards.

Big day today and my family will be happy. I collect new hearing aids this afternoon. The old aids are six years old and barely working much.
I had been trying to work out what to do about them as I used to go to city. Bad hip makes that very difficult as buses no longer go down George Street due to light rail construction.
I rang a local business to see what could be done. No problem. There is a government initiative which actually works. I gave my pension number and they transferred all my data and test over and printed them out. It is just up the road nd I could get a cab, although some family member has taken me.
I was a bit concerned about privacy but the scheme is not linked to any other govt. medical scheme where there have been problems. It is a stand alone. Had I known this, I may have done something sooner. I am looking forward to the new pair.

I can hear! New aids are more advanced than the old pair as technology is improving all the time. They look heaps better and fit without irritation. The old ones had probably passed their use by date about eighteen months ago.
When two granddaughters spoke privately to judge in custody case a few weeks ago they both said they loved Grandma, loved coming here, knew I loved them, but also said I COULDN't hear them. No longer.

Good news Lothlorien!
My aids are so lightweight I often forget they are there. I think this is why I didn't notice when one fell off my ear when we were overseas recently, and I didn't realise until we had travelled many kilometres further on. My wife was greatly relieved when the replacement arrived. We had forgotten how much difference they had made.

I have only ever had the over the ear style. The tubing split once and the aid fell off, but I realised what had happened.
These are very much more comfortable than the old pair. I do not notice them. Also more efficient and one of the old ones was prone to feedback sometimes.
I have happily thrown out the old pair.

My present hearing aids are three years old and are about to go out of warranty. When I first got them they fit very well and I didn't have a feedback problem. I guess my ears expanded a bit because now I do. While they are still under warranty, I am having new ear canal pieces made.
Moo
I was told once that losing or gaining weight affected even the ear canals, so that could be it.
I bought my first pair of aids and they were good.
The second pair was supplied under Government Hearing Scheme, as was this pair. Supplied free. I pay nothing towards them but pay an annual fee of $42. It was $37. This covers all batteries and maintenance, even such things as you describe.
I ring up and a few cards of batteries are in my letterbox the next day. I am consequenly, a bit out if touch wih the price of batteries. When I checked somes years ago, I was spending about $90 annually on batteries and I know they have gone up since then.

Lothlorien, glad you now have better hearing aids - it can be so isolating when you can't hear what's going on.
Bugger! Of the finalists I preferred the designer's other option that has red where the black is. Actually I really preferred some of the 72 designs that had a koru, but only one of the koru flags reached the final five options and it was totally unbalanced.
Also the poll at the local café where people voted by putting beans in plastic containers got it wrong. Interesting to know that 10% of responders spoilt their ballot papers (there were people advocating this for various reasons, some related to the way the final 5 were chosen, others because they feel a loyalty to the current flag and also there were those who objected to the $NZ26 million cost of the process).
Ah well, the final referendum will be held next year and no doubt the media beat up of the arguments will bore me rigid before then.
Maybe we should have just gone for one of the earlier options that had a kiwi farting a rainbow, but it didn't make the long list of 40.

Good heavens .. I think last time I saw you in either flesh or pixel I was in wankydilla. So good to see you.
Now all we need back is Cusanus (not seen since 2008, I think) and Left at the Altar (2014) and Nutmeg (2008, but with a tribute to Erin in 2011) and the assassinated FD and a few more and the party would be complete. Missing Kiwis include the aforementioned Jemimah (2004) and McChook (surfaced briefly in 2014) ... oh ... and Kuruman (who I see occasionally and who was on a shipmeet thread in 2014) ...

Only Red Peak and Koru actually looked like flags, ie, bold, simple and most importantly timeless. The two Lockwood ferny ones look like something you'd find on a supermarket wrapper. The last one - glad to see it eliminated early - is just a rugby flag.
It should be easy to design a decent flag with a fern on it, if you try not copy the AB fern.
The reality is that the existing flag is fine, and I hope it wins the referendum in March.

There's also Duo Seraphim. Not heard from her in ages, and I think RL is taking rather a lot of her time.
For the life of me, I can't think of the board name of the one I miss most. A doctor. Although she's rather younger than I, my parents somehow knew her parents and I know her very vaguely. I won't give her RL name, but she used sing in the choir at CCSL. Her tongue is often sadly needed here to bring some of the sillier posters into line.

Women in the church are not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be enjoyed.

Thought of her last week. Nephew does deliveries for the pizza place we went to down the line, so very many years ago.

Buy a bale. Help our Aussie rural communities and farmers. Another great cause needing support The High Country Patrol.

B3.3 had her 3rd birthday party yesterday. All 7 grandchildren spent 4 hours together and much fun was had. Big success of the day were some floor beds I created from old pillows (thank you Pinterest). Tubes of brightly patterned sheet satin with velcro at one end containing 5 pillows each.
My studio was drowning in cast off pillows after B1 did a room refresh during Spring. The kids loved these. Tucking the end under to create a double pillow headrest created instant daybeds. Pushing them together made a gym mat for somersaulting. Parking them in front of the TV made a platform for several of them to recline and comfortably playstation together. And should anyone need a nap, no problem.
It's nice when nanna gets it right!
