If they built them in China instead of Pasadena they'd be much cheaper. I'll suggest that to Trump. Send him a tweet,

I'm sure he'll appreciate that. He likes things made in China. Although he cannot pronounce the country's name properly.

Festive greetings from Southport where Mrs B and I are having our first weekend since 1991 without the kids who are with their respective partners/families.
Warm but rather blowy, the caravan is stable enough but awning was a step too far even with The Lad who'd nipped down from Scouseland to help (and collect the Avenged Seven vinyl he'd had delivered to home). Nice walk and trip down to see Anthony Gormley's iron men earlier - lot's of people about.
Proper dinner cooked in small oven and 3 gas rings.
Family phoned/Skyped.
Mellow and nearly ready to turn in.

Just about 40 minutes before greetings become belated.... Relative calm this afternoon, after playing for four carol service in the past week plus Christmas morning., and before invasion by grandchildren tomorrow.

Spent yesterday with my wife's extended family at her sister's house. Survived and finally, eventually, escaped about 11.00pm. We were going mountain biking this morning but now I discover that she has invited the whole sodding and same motley crew to ours for an encore this afternoon and evening...
Oh joy. Can't bleeding wait. 😫

Its retribution for wishing James Blunt on us.

Still gives you a chance to show off your sharp sense of dress and style you keep harping on about.
Desert boots again is it?

I did have desert boots on yesterday as it happens. Tobacco suede ones teamed casually with faded jeans and a dark red checked shirt. Quite festive, but not overtly so. I shall indeed need to think of something to ring the changes today. There will be something suitable arrived at. If anyone else needs any guidance, then feel free to ask.

I hope you changed after the main course. Into dessert boots.

No internets for me over Christmas, so belated greetings to all. Catered for 15 here at the homestead, proper 5-bird roasts with all the trimmings, sweet and sour red cabbage, all that malarkey. What did we ever do without two ovens? Knackered now and back at work.....
Nearly lost my mother a couple of weeks back with a heart attack, so the month's been a bit fraught but we seem to be back on the level now.
HNY everyone.

Seasons Gratings to you and yours too !
Fair point you make actually, shows some style I guess, why indeed fart about on the Internet in your own time when you can do it while someone else is paying you?

Exactly. Work entails nothing more than staring at a computer, so the browser's always open in the corner. The computer isn't a leisure device to me, it's off when work finishes.
Been out on the bike a few times this Christmas, children both got new ones. 12 yr old son's is now an adult size bike, albeit small frame. It's way better than my cheapest-in-Halfords PoS.
