On Christmas Day I dined with my wife alone as my children are away. They are all now adults and earning their own money and are living their own lives. My wife made deconstructed chicken pie (better than Dome’s) and her puff pastry was really flaky and nice.

Today is Boxing Day and I did not want to miss the fun of burning money but then again I don’t need anything. Anyway while I was searching for some thing to burn my money on, I came across Dyson Cordless Vacuum Sale…..

Without further ado, I present to you Xiaomi Dreame V11 with all surface V-Shape Motorized Brush (also known as V11SE for some countries).
