Best present received today? *christmas content*

Had a quick look and couldn’t see a thread.

What’s the best present you’ve received today? Or Infact that you’ve given?

Think mine would be a pair of 5 10 Maltese falcons or fifa 18 for the PS4 which will help occupy me during my knee recovery.

Merry Christmas everyone

Some Pink Slime Balls (97a, 54mm) from my girls 8)

I got an Airshot! Yessss!

Also a custom stem cap with their own drawings on from each daughter and a Salsa one from my wife 🙂

The stems caps sound pretty cool and a good idea.

Uplift day at antur stiniog

MKS NJS chain tugs and 4 + 5mm Beta t-handle hex keys. Nothing too fancy, just really nice kit that works.

Bestest? A Cosmo robot thingymebob, love it.

Not so bestest, War and peace novel.

I got a vacuum cleaner.

Welcome to being divorced.

No **** of a father in law though

Only thing in my room that wasn’t here last night is a cockroach.

Tickets for Blue Planet at The Albert Hall, awesome.

Either the BPW voucher or the Minion DHR 29×3 (obviously not to use on the uplift at BPW)

Track bike. Amazing.

Got next to nothing as that’s what we agreed, fine with that. Kids happily building Lego right now, Future Islands on the stereo, lovely.

And I just cracked and ordered the Lepin Brick Bank for £50 off Aliexpress. Ah well, it is Christmas. Just hope the quality is as good as I’ve heard!

Bottle of Jack Daniels. Better than the Chivas Regal last year – too smokey for me

Unicycle from my Dad. Complete random suprise present. No idea why he bought it but I see a trip to a&e in my near future 😆

Ben Cathro training voucher, Sproston Green t shirt and an Irish rugby top to name but a few. Fandabbydozee.

Hotpogs, it’s the stw way

Another year of STW subs 🙂

New Ion knee pads from parents, a Manfrotto tripod from myself and a Bandcamp voucher from my brother

Two bottles of whisky. Might drink them to help the day pass.

A blowie.

Got some for the wife as an extra gift. She was less impressed.

I got the Monk box set.

Bottle of 10yr old Ardbeg 8)

Not quite the fancy stuff I’d tried in the shop but can’t blame my wife for not being able to distinguish between all the different gaelic variants 😕

Oh, and an unbelievably happy, gurgly 4 month old who went to sleep without his usual meltdown, and a smitten new granny getting to know him for the first time 8)

Voucher for a wildlife watching / photography trip. Looking for eagles, deer, seals, otters etc.

A large pressie has mysteriously appeared under our tree while I was in the kitchen tidying up. Kids have opened all of their pressies.
I hope this one is for me.
I hope it’s Lego.

Random = A good quality frying pan
Best = A Google home mini. Not sure why I need or whether I actually want one but it’ll do for streaming music in the workshop and I’m quite partial to a gadget.

Pack of Alden wrenches – awesome pressie!

Maxxis Calendar and some 661 knee pads! Woooooo!

LEGO Star Wars Y Wing:D

A new trigger for my .243, a pair of Meindl Dovre boots and a bottle of 10 yr old Ardbeg.

Garmin Vector 3s

Simple type of fellow here

A hope cup…
A pair of Xmas lounge joggy pants
And a bottle of 2013 chateau De rothchild….. [had a bottle of this ] beyond wonderful lasted 90 minutes

My best was a nice running tshirt. It didn’t have much competition from my only other present which was a box of door handles.

One of these. Hope me bum likes it.. 🙂

The Complete Calvin and Hobbes collection.
Some calligraphy stuff.
Some fabric to play with.

And a picture drawn by my 21yo artist niece of Geralt of Rivia.

Mrs got me metal bowl fire pit thing for the garden. Total surprise and just perfect.

Now I just need to build some garden furniture in time for spring

£80 cash from my parents, along with a Topeak chain tool. My BBB tyre setting tool is apparently still on a slow boat from China.

**** all from the Mrs.

(not a phrase often heard in these parts but) “Move over Tunnocks tea cakes” – I received a selection box of German Christmas market marshmallow cakes…

Fuji XP120. Hopefully an end to ruining ‘normal’ compact cameras by taking them on walks and rides and getting shit in the lenses.
