D-the-Dog's first Christmas (with us)


D-the Dog at Christmas

I thought he'd be absolute murder. Actually he got the hang of unwrapping his presents and leaving the other stuff alone (up to a point – he's a nosy little so-and-so) pretty quickly. He had a good day. He was just a bit murder. At times.


I was wrongly accused...

...of secretly watching the Queen's speech. Quite hurtful, that.


We ran out...

...of mock Bailey's and Guinness.


We've a mountain of...

...sprouts (both BLISS and I thought we may be a bit light, and bought additional bags)...

...leftover chicken (because I didn't check the use-by date on the first one, and had to cook it on the 23rd)...

...ready-made custard (the EU custard ocean is in our fridge)...

...cheese and cooked meats (we'were all too stuffed to eat in the evening – apart from me)...

...avocados (because I forgot to put them into the veggie starter – I always forget at least one thing, despite having a crib-list hanging up)...

...onions, which will get used...

...crisps and chocolates, which will get eaten...

...wrapping paper (used), which will get thrown away...

...love and goodwill, which will be remembered.


Good ideas included...

...going back to having some breakfast (BLISS)...

...roasting the carrots (MM)...

...including some beat the intro and club singer questions in the quiz (ME)...

...rehanging the outside lights (BLISS, despite a lot of resistance from ME (the Man City game was on at the time, I wasn't at my best))...

...not spoiling an unbroken 55 year run of dodging the Queen's speech (ME, actually)...
