This holiday, Tim decided to use
Booking.com to book our accommodation, he asked for my input but at the time he
was doing it I wasn’t fully with it and found it difficult to concentrate which
would be why I didn’t realise that the place in Orange wasn’t suitable for me.
It was a hotel not a motel and the place had too many stairs and no lift, when
Tim went to check in, he discovered this and had to cancel the booking.
He was told he had to contact Booking.com about getting a
refund, this was easier said than done,
Tim couldn’t figure it out on his phone, so we tried to find a phone number to
ring but couldn’t, also we ended up spending 2hrs trying to find somewhere else
to stay without any luck.
So, he ended up ringing the motel in
Cowra and managed to get us another 2 nights at that motel. It was at that
motel we got a phone number for Booking.com and when rang them the person we
talked to couldn’t find the booking and gave us an email address and said to
explain everything in an email. This we did, Tim got a reply with a phone
number to ring the number didn’t work, so he sent another email saying this.
They replied with another number, but it
was an American number, and we both have insufficient credit to make such a call.
So, he sent another email asking again for an Australian number.
So, after we arrived home, Tim tried to ring Booking.com after
a while he managed to get to talk to someone who at first wasn’t very helpful
but after a while she finally said they would contact the hotel and confirm we
didn’t stay there and arrange a refund, we will see.

The holidays are coming
fast! They are loaded onto the Christmas Express train and there is no
stopping them now.
Are you ready for them this
year?
Is your tree up? How tall is it?
What colour lights?
Are there lights in the window?
On the door?
Yes, I am ready,
I only have a small tinsel tree that sits above the TV, we have some coloured
lights out the back.
Got a menu for Christmas Eve and
Day?
Since I no longer
cook, this is not something I worry about
Who is coming for Christmas or
who will you visit?
On the 21 I
will go to my brothers for a sibling Christmas lunch, on the 23 we are going to
my nieces for a Christmas lunch, on the 25 we are not going anywhere our daughter
will prepare lunch and bring it to us, then on Boxing Day we will go to our
daughters for lunch. So, a full few days.
What is your favorite Christmas
memory.?
As a child it was packing stuff in the car and going
to my

Here are this week’s questions.
need to get done, or that must get done before the year
ends?
I have sat and thought about this, and I can’t
think of a damn thing, which is a good thing.
December 17th is National Maple Syrup Day...are you a fan? Do
you like maple flavour in other food items such as candy, cookies, donuts,
oatmeal, hot toddies, coffee?
Yes, I do like maple syrup and maple syrup bacon
Time magazine names a person of the year every year. The
tradition started back in 1927 with a 'man of the year' but has since changed
to recognize not only an individual, but also to consider the impact of a
group, movement, or idea that most influenced the year. The selection is not
always someone or something good (think Hitler in 1938 and Stalin twice).
This year they've named The AI Architects as their 'person of
the year'. What say you? Is this a good choice, an obvious choice, a logical
choice? Who do you think should have been named person of the
year?
It is for the most part a good thing but there has
been some really bad or stupid choices like Hitler, Stalin and anything concerning
AI
What's a city, state, or country you've visited that you never
care to visit again? Tell us why.
China, it was a nice experience, but I just can’t
seem the point in going back, also feel the same way about Hawaii as I felt
like Hawaii is a lot like the Gold Coast in Queensland.
Next Sunday (December 21st) marks the first day of winter (or
the opposite if you're living down under). What's one thing you love about this
new season?
Well here in Australia we are in summer and it’s
bloody hot, what do I love about summer is air conditioning

Welcome back to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4, who can be found here: https://lemonscottage.blogspot.com/
Let's be lighthearted today and
ask some not so serious questions, shall we?
1. What is the dumbest rule
you've ever had to follow?
I have sat
here for 10 minutes trying to think of a dumb rule I had to follow, and I am
drawing a blank.
2. What is the weirdest or
funniest thing a guest ever did/said in your home?
I again can’t
think of anything, oh hang on funniest thing would have to be when anyone says
they will ask Tim about borrowing money because Tim is a tightass with money.
3. If you had a warning label,
what would it say?
Short fuse
if lit run
4. What is the first thing you
must do in case of a Snoopy/Charlie Brown Apocalypse? Who is the first
person you call for advice when that happens? (Imagine that the characters of
Charlie Brown series take over the world! What do you do as your first move?
Who would you call for advice on how to live in that world?)
Ok not so
easy for me to imagine as I may have heard of Charlie Brown but know bugga all
about the characters. That said I would call my granddaughter Sam, no maybe not
she would most likely help take over the world, so maybe my daughter Tasha she
is a hard ass but no she would deal with Charlie then take over the world
herself. So maybe I could call my sister Sue but no she would become
overwhelmed and get drunk, maybe my sister Sandy she would be helpful and likes
to give advice as she is a bit of a know it all and then she would get drunk. Really,
I would have to ring my brother who would be level-headed and supportive before
getting drunk. Now you may be thinking what about your husband, he would
already be drunk and asleep in front of the telly.
