JR, after the gym and then an early visit to Waitrose to avoid the crowds (just about…) devoted the rest of the day to giving the flat a ‘deep clean’…

Archie and I removed ourselves in case we got a job to give her full reign…

We walked along to Summerhall, because there was a cold wind whipping across the Meadows. Archie really doesn’t mind going in there - he trots in quite the thing. He sits and waits patiently, watching all the comings and goings, but he does his usual demented carry-on when you make the slightest move to leave.

This evening I tried making roastie potatoes in the air fryer. They were very good. So that’s my job on Christmas Day.

Archie wanted to admire the table decorations.
