Milne & Matt looing the part, flight testing one of the stocking prezzies that I bought for Sam.

We definitely kicked back today, enjoying a lovely lie in & then rising to continue our Birthmas extravaganza weekend by indulging in yet more mice pies, choccy biccies & yes you guessed it, Christmas films! It was unanimous - Jim Carrey in the Grinch was first up! We've had such a holly, jolly Birthmas, it's been joyful and triumphant!

Sam assembled the feather light plane from flat back & it was designed to be propelled with two long elastic bands that if twisted around for some 200+ times would fly for 90 seconds. Well, our fears of losing our new toy into middle distance, across the roof tops toward the horizon, were slightly premature..

*Press 'Play' on your Top Gun soundtrack.

..We did eventually get it air born, of sorts, after a number of stalls in mid air & the inevitable nose dive or three, managing to haphazardly propel it over the fences either side of our garden, for about 10-15 seconds of airborne activity. Not bad.

Flying high on the successes of our teamwork & ingenuity, we fled indoors to warm our cockles on some mulled wine & the Santa Clause with Tim Allen. We rounded off a wonderfully relaxing day & a wickedly fun weekend with a equally delicious as yesterdays, leftover roast, & a cheeky bonus film, Team America, a real favourite of all of ours! 'Remember, there's no 'I' in Team America'. But incidentally, there is an 'I' in Birthmas!

'Merry Birthmas to all, and to all a good night! When I get home, I'm getting a CAT scan!'
