Piet Posted December 23, 2018 Share #182 Posted December 23, 2018 Xmas? Xmas is coming? Man, how time flies, I better get going and prep. Well, actually I have been busy gathering recipes for our daughter's visit with us. She's a vegan and doesn't eat meat, perhaps only salmon. She wants bitterballen! So, I'll use mushrooms instead, like shiitaki. Modeling is on the back burner for now but the urge is growing though. Yup, I'm totally suppressed with the weather, we had some VERY cold nights and days - all the way down to 7C at night but it kinda warmed up during the day to 12C. I actually had to put a flannel shirt on with ling pants and socks and shoes 😉 Cheers, Jack12477, lmagna, popeye the sailor and 5 others 8 Quote Piet, The Flying Dutchman.
