dads, dogs and dessert wine

Chris arrived today and here we all are around the kitchen table after our evening meal, with D telling a funny tale or two...

Here's another fuuny story - this afternoon I tripped over a barbell and landed on my nose. I don't know if it's broken; it's still straight but a bit swollen and I may look panda-like tomorrow. What larks :-)

Sarah and Chris have started putting up the tree. D and I bought it for our first married Christmas so this is its 33rd outing. They're fixing all the branches and tomorrow when Joe and Kim are here, we'll do the tinsel and baubles.
