A lovely Christmas Eve. Few pints in the local early afternoon. Home for baking cookies for Santa, a Christmas film, few more drinks and bit of cheese crackers and nibbles. Then the usual ramping up of the excitement - reindeer dust, Xmas-Eve box, pj’s, leaving stuff out for Santa and getting the stockings ready. Just been up to check and she’s drifted off, so we’ll be getting the presents out soon and heading to bed for a likely 5am wake-up. My favourite day of the year.

6 perfectly cooked fillet steaks on the cast iron griddle.

Great, restful day. I got up early and prepped a lot of the dinner - HID is the chef. Christmas music on in the background, inc carols. Spoke/messaged the children. Quick nap, and now nibbles and a lovely white Rioja.
Evening snack will be turkey sandwich, cheeses, pork pie, pickles and some Christmas cake.
A fab, restful day before tomorrow’s festivities at the bowls club. A short, fun game with a few quirky rules and fancy dress. Lots of nibbles and a few glasses… organised by the new captain, whoever he may be

Members of the village brass band outside late morning playing a couple of carols. Walking the main roads through the village stopping and playing as they go…collecting for charity as they do and have done for as long as…
Verily did he say unto her….maybe…
I do miss the Sally Army doing the rounds, especially as Mrs Hobbit is great in uniform and with a tambourine.

What a day, left work at 3am this morning, back home at 5am, did a couple of jobs when home then a couple of hours sleep.
Up at 07:30 to watch the boys open their presents and a glass of champagne.
Back to bed at 09:30 and up at 12 for Christmas Dinner at 13:00.
Now back at work, what a day, worth every second to see their faces opening Santa's presents.

Was there today. Very comfortable win. We appear to have turned a corner. Players are definitely playing for him. Chuba seems very much to be a confidence player and long may it continue!

The worrying thing is that this price now appears good. I remember my mum's outrage when it crossed the £1 threshold... £1.20 seemed expensive
Now this just feels cheap

I remember it making front page news when diesel crossed the £1.50/l threshold at some obscure motorway services!
