Very good light Christmas preparation completed today. I even wrapped some presents up, a task I normally leave until the last minute so am well ahead of the game, people.

Then I went to the pub (via Monsoon shop window and their silver balls) with Ella. The new, really nice, good pub was completely packed so back to the Hare and Hounds with us. We sorted out everything in the world and ate some peanuts and mini Chedders. A very successful evening.
