So, whatcha doing for Christmas or other solstice celebration?

Me - cooking for my in-laws, exchanging gifts at our place and possibly watching a Christmas DVD. It's going to be pretty low key this year. No travel. No other guests.

I'm kind of worried that I might like it.

Who writes this???

'Dare to wear the new fragrance'

Why?

What does it smell of? Bacon? Burnt custard? Dung? A brewery cooking up at 5am?

What does the fragrance smell of that wearing it might constitute a 'dare'?

They have all year to come up with something, & this is what they give us - & they want a bloody fortune for a bottle of coloured whiffy water.

Charlatans and chiselers, I tell you.

What a totally lovely festive day..

.. I've had.

Woke up on the sofa in front of a roaring fire at 8am with a minor red wine hangover, had crumpets and fruit for breakfast with my mates, went for a really long FREEZING walk in the snow, came home decorated my house for Christmas, made mince pies, read some of my book in front of a different fire, went to the carols by candlelight service, now home and about to have beef in guinness with mashed spuds and veg with a glass of shiraz. And Cranford is on the telly later.

Lush. What have you done today?

Trapped!

Snowed in today at friends' house in the country. Will have to be late to work tomorrow, with an ironclad excuse as there is technically a blizzard emergency in effect today and driving is theoretically not allowed. Downside: only one bottle of champagne left. But there is a buttload of Bordeaux.

I got too drunk at my do

and ended up pashing a colleague. A hot one. And it was only him and me left, and we swore we wouldn't tell anyone. It was an experiment. But will he tell people?

Then I had another weird encounter. Crikey.
