| I hope not. We had a powergrid failure on the tubeline last night and the whole of south London was without stations and trains. I was kind of hoping it would last throughout today, the perfect excuse for not being able to get to work at least on time, but it looks like most are back up and running on their regular schedual.
I watched the news today, ate breakfast and I'm getting ready for work. | |

| This is getting monotonous. I'm getting ready for work, yet again. Just once I'd like to be able to answer - NOTHING
You're becoming my hero, Phyrexia. | |

Lol...oh my dear I wish it was paradise but alas it was not. Especially after I was joined on my couch by two sick little girls! So, happy last week is over! Today I admit I didn't do much but I did get some shopping done for my portion of the Thanksgiving festivities! | |

| Even though it was yesterday (didn't get a chance to go online), I ate my first turkey dinner, ala American style complete with cranberries, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie!
Today, I'm getting ready to go back to work... | |

| It was delicious, Alaryah.
At present I'm enjoying a hot cup of tea, some Christmas jazz and proceeding to untangle Christmas lights. | |

@ White Wraith What is a Yalda Night table? Is the decision something you can share Rabbit? You know we would love to hear it and are here for you if you'd like to chat about it! @WW ditto, what Rabbit asked!? | |

| I'm playing catch up and recovery from Christmas. Amazing how a great day can make you feel so worn out!
Alaryah & Rabbit
A Yalda Night table, called a korsi, is a traditional piece of furniture similar to a very short table on which the foods to be eaten through Yalda Night are placed. It's covered by a wool (sometimes wool-filled) blanket. People sit around the Korsi and put their legs under the blanket. Inside the korsi, heat is generated by means of (in the old days) coal or in the case of our modern little flat, a fancy electric heater.
I'd like to explain that Yalda Night is a Persian Winter Solstice celebration. It's a time when friends and family gather together to eat, drink and read poetry (especially Hafez) until well after midnight. Fruits and nuts are eaten and pomegranates and watermelons are especially significant. The red color in these fruits symbolizes the hues of dawn and glow of life, invoking the glory of Mithra. I'm not Persian myself (English/Irish, thank you very much) but my boyfriend is from Iran and a practicing Mithraist so we kind of blend our traditions during the holidays. | |

| I got all ready for work only for a friend of mine to ask to switch shifts - so now I don't have to go in until 4! Yay me! Wraith, didn't you post something about Yalda Night on the Halls of Roramin forum? It sounds familiar. | |
