... And The Titanic - Which Did Not Sink ...

Turkey dead and eaten - Quality Street wrappers everywhere - negatory replies to requests regarding more food all made .. time to swing the sofa round, shush the smallest member of the family and turf out any stray neighbours. Cometh the hour - cometh the Doctor and the best (and strangely in our house nearly the only*) bit of Xmas Telly. We laughed at Allon zi Alonzo - we hid behind our hands when The Host attacked (no sofa-sheltering wusses in this house) and we cried when Kylie floated off to go travelling. The Golden Compass board game ( Ages 27 and Masters in The Monte Carlo Method and above only) was nowhere near as exciting as this.

Now where is that tangerine? **

* Brenda at Three - disappointingly corgieless this year.

** Daughter informs me it was a satsuma.
