I had a fabulous Xmas day. I spent the afternoon shredding leaves down the garden and it was very cold. Hmmmmmm. I was helped by my lady wife for a whole ten minutes until she discovered how cold it really was and then she vanished in order to drink hot rum and watch Darcy Bussell dance Sylvia in the lounge. I should explain that Darcy was actually only on the goggle box. Had she really been dancing Sylvia in the lounge I would have quit my shredding immediately. I used to dance with the Ballet Russe - this was more than 50 years ago but nobody believes me. I was in Coq d'Or which has gone from the repertoire. I have no idea why.

One of the children - who is an incredibly good artist (Slade) - 'phoned to say that one of her cats had brought a large black rat into the bathroom and what should she do? I suggested feeding it with a small amount of Xmas pudding. One has to be kind to all animals at Xmas - even rats.
