Yup. 

Since you'd already won, you could have let someone else have a go, mate. :rolleyes:

Sorry Adam I just thought if someone got the rest of them correct and got more than me it would be unfair for them because I already won.

Thank you for playing, Santa Christaleen. :santasmile:

Nice to have fossils from somewhere rather different. 

Love the big coral.

Thanks, @Tidgy's Dad, for setting up this event! I enjoyed reading all of the posts on here. I didn't participate last year but I might this year.

You'd be very welcome. :fistbump:

Glad you enjoyed reading through it all.

Just got home from the hospital after getting covid. I haven't been able to post my gifts and currently don't know where they were put while I was in hospice. Will be back in a few days once I can find them and rest. Sorry about the delay.

Very glad that you're finally home. I was beginning to get worried. 

Blimey! Five weeks in hospital, that must have been horrible and scary. 

Take your time, Joseph, get yourself strong again. 

All the very best,

Adam. :commiserate:

Thanks Adam, for all you did. There have been really nice gifts that year, Don would surely have been proud of it.I'll be here for the next appointment with Santa Claus.

If i'm still there :  i've lately watched two movies, Post Impact and Green Land, in which a comet falls upon France ! On one of them the Tour Eiffel had melted and on the other Belgium and France were under meters of ice with -52° celsius during the day ! :unsure: Can you imagine ? No more Beret, french cheese, strikes, french wines, foie gras and baguette ! :pleurer::froid:

No, these at least would be horrifying to lose. :Horrified:

And you, of course. 

It was great fun doing the Secret Santa, I really enjoyed it. 

And I've still got to post me in my nun's outfit.

Coming soon..................:BigSmile:

That would be sad situation. At least we can still get Long Island wine, baguette and foie gras to console ourselves for the loss.

Hmmm.

I'll take your word for it, but I have heard that American cheese is ghastly. 

Except in Wisconsin. :D

Take care of yourself, you'll need to bounce back to be in good form for posting again on TFF.:footprint:

I hope you'll spare a thought for me eating foie gras and baguette and drinking Long Island wines when the comet will strike my garden. :rolleyes:

Last week I received a couple of rather late Christmas cards. 

But still very much appreciated.

Love the family collage, Ralph, nice looking family.:) @Nimravis

And Tidgy loves the Santa Tortoise, as do I, Bobby. :) @Bobby Rico

Thank you both very much, my friends, I will display them for a month or so, they re too nice to put away now.

Thanks Tiggy and Scylla,

Haven't had a chance to take photos yet. Unfortunately a close friend (practically a brother) passed on Thursday and we've been kind of dealing with that as well. Here are the photos as promised. Late but here they are. 

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.
