....on the 9th day of Christmas........

The Daughter went back to work and the Boss and I had a lie-in......well, I got up at 8.30 like a good boy, ready to hit the sales..........the Boss stayed in the pit until noon!....the weather was exceedingly damp....so she decided we weren't going to the sales after all.

We spent the day on the sofa.....catching up on the Christmas TV we missed....we started to put Christmas to bed....but we only got as far as taking the cards down and tidying up the fridge by feeding the left overs to the birds.

When the daughter got home we ordered a Chinese take away....and we've vegetated for most of the evening...including watching Attenborough's new series on Africa...who knew giraffes could be so vicious...or rhinos so soppy.

This is the last cracker off the tree....we're saving it for Charlie at the weekend...we're going to have them round....finish off the party food....drink as much of the booze as we can.... pull the last cracker and send off a Chinese lantern.

Then it's back to the grindstone for all of us....at least until the middle of February for me!
