8♥ and Christmas eve

On Thursdays I finish early enough to have time off in the afternoon. Usually it is just me at home but all my boys were off from work and school so it was a wonderful opportunity to get out and get some fresh air. We walked along the canal letting Giddy dog run and sniff. The boys chatted and ran on ahead while Himself and I just enjoyed companionable silence.


 Moored on both sides were narrow boats of all shapes and sizes. I decided that naming of boats is a very personal thing - there are the obvious monikers  like 'Just Sailing' and the cutesy folk-style such as 'Rosie' and 'Water Wanderer' and there are the types that raise a giggle like the interestingly named narrow boat - 'Floater'......... but the most curious are the ones that must have a personal reason for their name only relevant to the owner.....'Ossey Gobbin'.


 This means nothing to me but to my northern husband it was obvious - 'Ossey Gobbin' means somewhere on the lines of 'Idiot from Oswaldtwistle'.......Any hoo, where this waffle is meandering towards is today's number which is 8❤

I just want to thank you for your lovely comments about our silly-kitties, they are bringing such joy to us, it feels like the whole house is smiling at their antics. 

Well, it's Christmas eve and we are off to celebrate with family - we eat our main meal tonight. The table will no doubt be laden with crackers and  table presents. My Mom and Dad are hosting and do such a beautiful spread - I am definitely taking my camera!

Enjoy tonight and hope that Santa brings all that you have wished for! I am sure the kittens will love all that wrapping paper tomorrow - just for them obviously!
