.....You'll never guess what........

....you got from me! Rock and Roll Christmas.

Every year a silly present.

This year the Daughter bought me these slippers. I can't walk through doorways in them.....keep misjudging where my feet are in relation to the door frame.......but the thing is............daft as they look....they are toasty warm!

First one up again this morning....just having a quiet spot of breakfast when the S&H appeared....carrying Charlotte and uttering the words...."Ooh you can play with Grandad for a while!" Seems that she kept them awake a bit last night so they gave her a bottle early this morning and then dumped her off on me so they could sneak an extra hours sleep.

We had a lovely hour together playing with her new doll..... and the stacking cups..... and her ball....and several empty Pringles/Smarties tubes....and being sick on Grandads new shirt.

Eventually she was retrieved and I took the daughter into town to buy a TV she'd reserved last night. It was like a ghost town.....I swear at one point I saw tumbleweed rolling down the High Street. No mad rush for January sales here.


The S & H and YH departed about 11.00. they're off to Devon to see YH's family tomorrow, they'll be back here for New Years Day lunch!

No one has eaten a meal in this house today......just lots of picking at cold meats, cheeses, pickles, chocolates etc.

The Boss has gone off to work....two night shifts this week.....It's only 9.52 and I'm debating wether to go for a shower and straight into bed....or shall I watch Match of the Day and see United demolish Wigan 5-0?

Decisions, decisions.

If I go early and miss your blip for today, I'll comment tomorrow.....promise.....I need to be up early, the S & H has just phoned up to say they need to borrow our booster chair for Charlie, but they can't say what time.

Das vidnaya moy padruga.
