Christmas has once again come and gone.

Christmas has once again come and gone, the presents have been opened the turkey has been eaten,and we've all fallen asleep in front of the telly. I'm glad that I am able to report that our family meal was excellent, and that a good time was had by all, all 20 of us. The venue was wonderful and the chef did an excellent job, there was a pianist in the background, the waiting staff were excellent and the atmosphere was wonderful, even the children, some of which had been up since 4am, were well behaved. I am very tired today though, paying for my gluttony, after all I managed to eat a few mouths full of every course, and if you include the coffee and mints, of which I had two, there were 5 courses in all, after weeks of hardly eating enough to keep a sparrow alive, I ate alot of food yesterday. I hope that you all had as nice a day as I had, and that like me you awoke this morning feeling fairly content with your lot.
