The China Pearl Inn part 7

Past midnight I stumbled in throught the front doors for a change. The bitter -17°f where I've been have left a fare amount of frost and ice on my feathers. I see that the inn has been busy to day so I tidy up a bit. Change out the candle in the window for a fresh one. I know I could bring one in that never burned out but that would not be a proper vigil now would it. A fresh pot of coffee set up for the morning and a few more logs on the fire to insure that to clod night stays outside where it belongs. Then up to the rafters for the night. A short prayer for our friends and family of the inn before settling down for my slumber.
 
Raven it was much warmer in my White Mountains, it was a balmy -10F.

Thanks for tiding up the Inn and having a fresh pot of coffee on. After all coffee is the life blood of sailors. ;)
 
About 11° here with light snow. Brrr...too cold for me. Supposed to be around 5° tonight. :eek:
 
First Luv2bfkd, thanks for your PM. I’ll reply in a day or so.

Second I want to wish the inn HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Now Supergirl and I are off to the Thames. See you next year!:kiss::cattail::heart::rose::kiss:
 
Robyn, Sal have fun in London this New Year's Eve. I know you will uphold the honor of the service and paint the town red. ;)
 
The old year is winding down. A cross the pond Robyn and Sal are painting Old London town red, just two more hours to go for them. It will be a wee bit longer here in my White Mountains. So it is time for a little champagne, and a bit of reflection on the past year.

Thank you all who have made the old China Pearl Inn your home away from home and the joy and happiness you have brought me in 2017.

The Temps dropped enough to freeze up the battery in my Chevy Truck and I almost couldn't get the Dodge to start so I could Jump the chevy.
 
Yes it is a bit chilly here Raven at -15F. I do have A fire blazing on the hearth and Champagne on ice.;)
 
Stirs herself at the sound of a herd of elephants outside the inn and wonders how she got home. Opens her eyes and asks a searching question

WHAT WAS IN THAT BLOODY CIDER?

Shuts her eyes and drifts back to sleep
 
Good morning everyone. I hope that you all had amazing celebrations last night and are safe and looked after this morning. My most earnest wish for this year is for it to be one of increasing security and love. For all the sacrifices of the bravest warriors to be appreciated and, in turn, used to further good works for those who need them most.

Good new year to you all. I love you.

*Makes one final wish to suddenly find Robyn sleeping in her own bed* :devil:
 
A scrumpy night Robyn? a soft kiss brushes her forehead as I tuck her in.

An interesting wish Shiva.:devil:ish :D

Stirs and staggers out of bed

Yes, it was old scrumpy CG. I introduced Storm to it and now she’s dying! So Shiva, you’re welcome to come over and sooth our heads.

Falls back into bed to comfort Storm
 
Ah Poor Baby you know better Robyn. Old Mr. Scrumpy is a devilish fellow that has his ways with young beauties leaving them gasping and panting in bed and wondering just what happened to them the night before.;) :devil:ish :D

Once more I tuck in the restless Miss

Please ladies...one at a time...
 
I fear neither Robyn or Sal are up for amorist adventures today. I fear that they have truly been Scrumpified.


Bonne Annie Chris Happy New Year.
 
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Hi all. Just checking in. I hope all are recovering from last night’s reveling.

Michael’s pretty much glued to the TV for the bowl games. I’m watching enough to kinda keep up.

About to start our New Year’s meal. Pork chops, scalloped potatoes, and the traditional black eyed peas.
:eek:
 
Sounds delicious luv2bfkd. Happy New Year!

Chris a new year and a new start. Phoo Ming says he has something Special for you.:eek:
