16th Dec (probably) Are we on schedule? Time for a checklist: 1. Realise any presents already bought are crap. 2. Drink bottle of special Christmas whiskey (based liqueur) (I am ahead of you on that one) 3. Have over reaction to something small and petty and threaten never to have Christmas again

I've got through at least 3 bottles of clear nail varnish in order to reseal the whisky bottle cap after sneaking some! I can guarantee that bottle's 79% Grape Juice now!
In other news; I bought a present. In other news; I bought another.
One present was from Aldi and probably won't turn up for ages again and as it speaks will be useful for a friend with diminishing sight to handle.
Not sure his Guide Dog will appreciate it's loud noise though.
The other present was for my internet denied Parents who would not have seen that a new Jake Thakray DVD has been released including extra footage from his BBC series.
So, less "Present" more; "Might as well get that now or may not be able to get it again."
My Mother has a signed poster of Jake Thakray.
I think he rather kills Georges Brassens "La Gorrille" myself.
Lost, in translation.
It is not, however, a television. My brother sent my StepFather a Television for his Birthday (though really for the pair of them). I don't think he's worth a television personally, but that's another story.
Thinking "French". Such a shame they only brought out the new Jacques Tati collection on Blue Ray. The Gits.
Failed again today to get on with Christmas Cards and we only have about 25 to write.

18rd! Last day for 2nd class Post!
Please Miss! I only got Second Class Stamps!
Oops! some people ain't goin' to get cards!
Mind you. Sorted out the wheat from the chaff as who can't be bothered to send them to us until the last mingut1 - er - minute.
A relative used to threaten ex-communication when that happened.

Sounds like you have been on the 12 pubs of Christmas crawl!. www.bbc.com/news/magazine-30539356I think 12 is OTT. Even for Christmas. I've done the mini-marathon (6 pubs) which is (obviously) a birthday crawl, (very handily there is a main street half a mile from here with exactly 6 pubs) and I didn't even manage the full six (one is situated slightly uphill and I was wearing heels) but truly this is an exercise where it is all about the taking part and not about winning. My dad is a veteran at the "Triangle" event. This takes place on boat holidays in a town where there are three pubs neatly situated so that you can virtually roll in and out of them without noticing you are changing venue. The handy thing about choosing the triangle version is that it is suitable for beginners, and (a bit like 20-20 cricket) for a more risky challenge you can fit it in during lunch, but if expert players want to extend the competition you can see how many times you can "triangle" in a single weekend. Happy 21ian of December!

PS
Curse you for making me google Jake Whatshisname. It took me a few days to recover from that.

PPS www.bbc.com/news/health-30500372 - Booze calculator: What's your drinking nationality? This week I am mainly... Based on these proportions and quantities: You drink like you're from Timor-Leste, which is the joint eighth lightest-drinking country in the world.
