esky was a brand name of one of the early portable insulated boxes for cold goods. First up they were metal on the outside. then theirs been foam , now molded plastic. The esky name has sort of stuck here.

We are fortunate to also have a Queen - we have a long w/e holiday early June Monday to celebrate her birthday. We love a long weekend and thats really what we celebrate. lol. Often Have been camping then in my younger days .. can be really frosty that w/e. Then our local show /think county fair/ has a holiday on that Friday. And sometimes its been a mess with rain. Gumboots then sensible footwear. Thats it for holidays until Christmas.
There is a May Day holiday. Some suggest moving it to late in the year to spread holidays out a bit. Easter has holidays on Friday and Monday.
Waving back to Sunny
I need get dsil turn off the tv. I have no idea. Now its off.
and get myself ready for bed.
Oh - good news - I got the photos on my computer. I found a slot on the laptop that read its card. When I get time I'll try post some I've saved last year.
The bad news - my camera is on strike. Even fresh batteries don't solve its malaise. Suspect plaster dust. Silly me not moving it to safety. Sigh. And getting dks to send photos is difficult. Oh well. I see new camera purchase in my future. Just wont have it for christmas gathering photos.
Harriet - if you have sheet pastry. spread something on it. roll up and cut into pinwheels. They cook quickly. I forget what was spread on them.
Something from the 80's. Other finger food here. chicken wings and little meaty bones. meat balls and a dish of sauce/chutney. kababs on a squer ??? My spelling escapes me.At a stand up bbq - salad on paper plate, or simple hamburger bun. Actually hot pot bring and share often gets eaten from paper plates. singapore noodle. savory rice. Yes they need a folk too.
Ita almost 12.30 on Christmas Morning. May the Blessings of this Season be with you all and your loved ones. Peace be with you.
