Happy New Year to all of our dozens (at least) of UCTMW followers. Mistress and slave just returned from 3 weeks "over the pond" visiting our prodigal daughter in the cold, dark and damp of northern Europe. Thank goodness for those vibrant Christmas markets, which light the darkness and kept us and bundled up the masses fueled with holiday cheer, including lots of Gluwein and Flammelachs.
Unfortunately for slave (depending on your point), Mistress was not pleased with her slave, based on some misfeasance on my part that will not be detailed here. Suffice it to say, one of Mistress's new year's resolutions is a much firmer hand for her devoted but misbehaving slave upon our return to the south west hideaway.
"You're going back in the cage, slave when we get back."
"Yes, Mistress."
In fact, I was faulted for not anticipating her desires, as a long term slave should, by failing to pack one.
The absence of a cage did not deter Mistress from improvising some appropriate discipline on the fly. "Fortunately" the apartments we spent most of our trip in were suitably equipped. 
What I learned over the last three weeks was that: 1) wooden spoons repeatedly applied to an aging males's naked ass can sting like BeJesus; and 2) the heavier the spoon, the more painful the sting. I suppose I should have known that from my high school physics class, but the scientific method of experimentation always works best. Sadly, we have some solid wooden spoons here at our SW hideaway. Apparently they have more uses than making a creamy risotto.
Those nearly daily thrashings reminded slave of his place in the UCTMW household, and also provided some accelerant for our traditional wake up sex sessions.
Now that we are finally home, Mistress also has her trusty riding crops to rely upon. And slave better dust off a cock cage before we head to the ski hill this morning.
