Up at 6:30 for what should have been a four hour road trip...

Luckily I had been so racked with pain in the night, I'd realised that several hours in a car to see a baby followed by several hours back in a car having seen a baby was probably not the best course of action...

Accordingly, Anne's and my participation in the big adventure was cancelled...

Here's some of what nephew Ali faced on the way down to Yorkshire, elongating his travel time by some two and a half hours...





Meanwhile we relaxed at home...

My soundscape is up here, along with 20 others - do take a listen for a relaxing time...


I also started work on the playlist based on this...


...and took a look through this...


...and these...


...and these - noting that both Michael Bruce and Dennis Dunaway used exactly the same picture for each of their book covers...


Late afternoon, a Skype to the Leeds area and a virtual tour of the new house and a look at baby Douglas...

Ali posted these on Facebook too...



Yesterday's "Dr Who" was enjoyed - not as good as last year's but still better than most Xmas Specials they've done...

Later on, "A Gert Lush Xmas" with Russel Howard and Hannah Britland entertained...

To bed, hoping for a better night's sleep...

Highlight of the Day : Deciding not to take a road trip...
