A Christmas song as the season is upon us and to keep this great thread going.

Nothing I like more than a plate of ghoti and potato chops with salt and vonegar.

You really do have the weirdest language!
Too true!
And just this morning I was wondering if and how I could take lessons in Dutch from you ...

I can think of a few people who think the O in "women" should be pronounced like the O in "woe, men!"

Those fires in Oz look horrendous. It seems the whole country is on fire. I hope all our Aussie friends are OK.

There are number of fires around the Bundaberg area where I live, but the worst fires are in NSW around Sydney and the Blue Mountains area.
I flew across the country from Bundaberg to West Australia yesterday, but could not much in the aisle seat I was sitting in. Grandsons were not sure if it was smoke or clouds from the height we were at.
Here's the Australian bushfire overlay map from Windy's website.

We have our local CFA (Country Fire Authority) doing some backburning work as we know just how dry it is ... so yes ... close enough for me
No problem! We have stuff like this as wellToo true!

On a heavier note (you don't really say that, do you? I like it.), this is Hidde. Today the vet has visited us to help him die. It was a good death and it will spare him from suffering but that doesn't really lessen the hurt of him being gone.

R.I.P. Hidde. Rest in peace.
A lovely face, his spirit shines through in his eyes and the angle of his ears.
Blessings to you for your mercy, and also for your sorrow.
"On a heavier note" seems to me a good, expressive phrase. It certainly conveys the feeling.
I just put up my Christmas tree this afternoon -- it's a bit early but I need to brighten and lighten my spirits. And once Midwinter arrives, Christmas will follow very quickly.

Nothing more heavier than losing a loved one. Condolences on your loss.

My nana's birthday was 15th December, and to celebrate it, the family put trees up on that day. I still do after all these years. So for us, you aren't early, you are late!
