As expected, the flapping has started with MIL - joy !

I just waterproofed my hat.

That means it's going to be dry this Christmas.

You're welcome.

Actually scratch that: I just cleaned my bikes, so that will cancel out the waterproofing and it'll pish it down for the week.

"Flapping"? I got "MIL" after a bit of thought...

Despite offering help a few days ago, we've had the SIL and MIL panicking about getting mum, presents and a commode to other SIL's house. Give me strength.
I was asked to take them round, so get up ready to go, to find none of the SIL's are in, and neither is MIL, so what's the ruddy panic.

Beautiful daughter has landed herself a place in the village Christmas nativity as 'Littlest Angel' which is great, but it means I have to go and watch. This is also fine (although a little painful at times for someone who used to write for theatre), but the problem is I'll have to watch it with the rest of the village.

Our village church has a capacity of about 250 people but I'm convinced that for the Nativity something Tardis-like happens and about 57329 people turn up. This means socialising. Again. With lots of people. Again.

One day I'm going to spend Christmas in a hermitage. On top of a mountain. On an island.

Survived.

It has to be said that Beautiful Daughter was very cute as 'Littlest Angel' Especially as she was about waist high on all the others, and when she jumped down from the area around the altar she vanished behind the front pew...

Also, I realised that if I legged it to the church hall to collect her quickly it means I missed all the socialising afterwards...

MIL back home - are you coming round to take presents. No was the answer. Sort it tomorrow !

One major advantage of marrying a Japanese: Inlaws are several thousand K's away. This is never more appreciated than Christmas.

Don't misunderstand me: lovely people, but it's one pressure I can do without.

Some of that cheap SA pop can be rather tasty, Lullabelle. Don't write it off until you've tried it.

Obviously someone who doesn't suffer from insomnia....... Christmas is probably 2 or 3 sleeps away for my wife.
