Friends have all switched on their answering machines

However the most important thing is that Christmas Day weather is bloody
marvelous, below freezing all day and now about -4c.

So things not too bad at all.

Happy Christmas from the land of the Pound Shops.

Happy Christmas Lawrence! Felt freezing here (well it was actually) and
still some signs of snow here and there on the ground. Nice to be indoors
although I am in trouble for falling asleep for three hours. Now to the
dreaded board games- no major family arguments yet- what a CHristmas!

Well Dave eventually my two kids came round and shortly after their mum who
is a hopeless Guardian reader-things soon deteriorated which is a shame as
she has no idea who George Monbiot is?
