First real Xmas lunch of the season today with chums Tracey, Claire, Martin, Kris, Michelle, Anne, Alan, Debbie, Janette, Lorna, Margaret and Wendy...

We were in the basement of No 80 Queen Street and I enjoyed some excellent chicken liver pate followed by rib eye steak and rounded off with a meringue tower and a latte – all interspersed with goodly amounts of red wine...

Back home, we watched tonight’s recorded “Coronation St” and “Oz and James’s Big Wine Adventure” – both highly entertaining......

To bed reasonably early - terrible trouble getting to sleep though – probably all those dead animals inside me....
