I have developed a new way of drinking coffee, crouched forward, so any drips fall safely beyond the new armchair…. I think it may only be a temporary measure.
It sounds as if it’s unlikely to be a white Christmas here. However I’m checking up from time to time on what it’s going to be like 400m higher, on Boxing Day, on the way back from D’s.
Meanwhile we wait to celebrate once again the coming of Jesus, ‘Immanuel’, God-is-with-us. Not sure that gorged with chocolate or hungover or sprout-inflated is the best way to remember, but hey, it’s a celebration. BTW I don’t think I’ll be drunk personally, for several reasons.
