Aww, how lovely. Both your boys are delightful and a credit to you. I just wish they'd stopped growing a while ago!

Are you sure that's an 'i', dear?

Leigh Bowery letting us know their view on Trump from the other side!

Yay! That gives me two days to be disappointed! Thanks, Sacha!😭😭

That's all well and good but next Friday....!!

Well, one doesn't need to rush these things!

I have a package currently waiting with Evri. Do you think I'll get it by Christmas?

Boiler replaced on Saturday. Toasty warm on Sunday, watching TV and eating chocolate. Happy me!

It's the food of my childhood. The stuff of legend!

I love the the 'B' in 'arbeit' is inverted as a small act of defiance by the prisoners forced to make the sign.

Eighty years ago. We need to remember the lessons daily. May the light of hope shine brightly in the darkest corners.

Forty was fine, fifty was fabulous. Getting older gives you the freedom to do what you want without worrying about being cool or trendy. Embrace it; you'll love it.

Been to see The Brutalist today. My take? Go and see The Brutalist. Epic in scope and scale with brilliant performances, intelligent dialogue, beautiful cinematography and an outstanding score. Filmmaking at its best.

Oi oi saveloy!

Happy kiwi nuptials day!

That's a shame because it is a remarkable film with a brilliant central performance from Daniel Craig. Uncomfortable and challenging but ultimately satisfying cinema. I hope you get to see it soon.

Beautifully written - both sweeping and intimate. An utter delight to read.

Well that's both disappointing and exciting in equal measure.

I'm back on Friday too but then only Monday next week! 😊

Work tomorrow so I'll be cracking open the hard stuff tomorrow evening.

Quite right! I'll have a Bailey's!!

Have a very happy Christmas, old chap. X

I'm working up to Christmas Eve PM. I feel your pain. It'll fly by!

How lovely to see you. Do pull up a chair! X

I hope grumpy you is back before New Year. I don't think I could cope with all that cheery nonsense!

If anyone's in the Menston area, this promises to be a lovely antidote to the seasonal mayhem. Starts at 7pm.

You mean you don't already?

I've discovered brandy-infused clotted cream which elevate them into the stratosphere!

Early(ish) start to get ahead of the shoppers, card writing, reading and the Strictly final. Oh, and my bodyweight in mince pies and clotted cream!

An afternoon watching Daniel Craig in Queer. Let's hope it's good.
