Arrived in Minehead an hour ago.
Our best mates have unexpectedly prepared a full Christmas dinner for us all.
Wasn't expecting that!
Watching 'Don't Look Up' tonight, apparently.

Surely it's still today and Monday is just a public holiday in lieu? It's so confusing!

In Retirement Land, EVERY day is a Holiday!

Calling local beer experts. In the back of our wine chiller I have just found a bottle of Plum Porter. I've never drunk this and have no idea how it got there.

What temperature should it be drunk at? The beer temperature not the room temperature. It's 11⁰C at present.

11°C sounds a good cellar temperature to me.

There was a google item today reporting about how many TOP stores have sold rancid turkeys.
Not funny when the whole family is gathered to enjoy it

When I worked as a postman I was tasked with a special delivery just before Christmas. A turkey complete with feathers and an address label round the neck. Since the regular postie could never get anyone in I was told that since it was getting a bit high to get it delivered and not come back until I had achieved that. Looked around the house and spied a window a bit open so forced the bird through the gap and heard a satisfying splash from inside.
Job done.

Living on my own I never get leftovers .........or maybe I'm the leftover

Sounds about right, cool, but not cold.

Been for little walk over the local hillsides, very cold, lots of icy bits, sky remains leaden, still a hint of snow from time to time, very atmospheric. Now sat with a mug of darjeeling listening to Abba. Not bad at all.

I am so pissed off. Settled with a nice malt.........and the feckin' game is off. I've just shelled out £9.99 to get stuck with St Johnstone v Celtic!

Sorry Mo I know they're your boys.....

Just being pedantic but Iike spaghetti WITH toast. I find that if you put it ON then the toast goes soggy.

Is the beer at 11°C?
