    Merry Christmas Ho Ho everyone. Dark and warm out with a bit of damp mist. Family still snoring. I'm off on the bike shortly to do a local Christmas day parkrun with friends. Then wake the family up and play Santa for a bit. Hope everyone gets enough food and alcohol today.

    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Merry Christmas everyone.

    kids shipped off for a couple of days so they can enjoy a second Christmas as we traditionally have ours early. Off for a wobbly bike ride around Richmond park if Mrs Seano wakes without too much of a hangover.

    Merry Christmas!

    Food and alcohol is the way forward.

    Anyhoo, enjoy yourselves.

    [However, I am all for banning Christmas entirely and replacing it with a Solstice meal with lots of drink].

    Merry Christmas Folks,

    Festive lie in had been done, headed to the pub at lunchtime with a few neighbours - going to be rammed. Then late Christmas lunch as usual, we're having duck for a change. The hounds will need an outing at some point.

    Duck is a great idea and Duck carcass makes fantastic soup. We had Duck a few years running. Current menu is roast beast and Yorkshire pudding.

    Going for a jolly in the Porsche on quiet roads whilst the girls enjoy their presents.

    Love a good bit of duck, but not so sure about duck curry in the coming days...your choice is good as well, especially with added Yorshire puds. Always fancied steak for Christmas sometime.

    And 'bah humbug' to y'all from the chrimbo non-fanboi.

    Para mi, it will be Belgian inspired stoofvlees aka carbonnade flamande made with a rather tasty trappist Westvleteren 12. Nom nom.

    Otherwise another grey day round these parts, another push the distance and hurt the leg muscles walk/limp escapade to come.

    Merry Christmas

    Presents all opened. Grandsons boxing/ kick bag seems to have gone down well with him. Although I’m not sure his mum is a big fan.

    Enjoy day everyone.

    Ha! You want to try giving karaoke machines to grand children. They love it, parents hate it in equal measure. 😂

    Afternoon folks,

    Slowish start, EPO and I had finished our second cup of tea before the young ones stirred. Lots of presents opened and everyone seems happy. Went to the local for midday. Now slobbing on the couch waiting for some more food, then snoozing 💤😴💤

    My Daughters from another mother got my 2 son's from current OH various musical instruments over the years. Since then they have lived to regret that. Karaoke machines, junior tool kits amongst those. Currently chilling drinking beer and regretting eating to much.

    Evening all. Quiet on the Western Front then?

    Went to sister in law for lunch. Forgot tablets. Quick drive home to collect. Luckily minimal traffic so 15 mins e/w.

    Ate lots and lots. Drank very little. Maybe 2 glasses wine. Nice rum now as a nightcap. Possible food coma to follow.

    Merry Christmas to all (and sundry) 😉
