Gimme Dat Ding
And good morning to you too, wherever you maybe. Even if you are in Thailand and just want to tell us how warm it is. Thanks Glen. The pedant text at the end of the show should have pleased the bloggers who have enjoyed the 'Chrises' theme of recent days. If you missed it, it was the showstopper link and the fact that James Taylor had polled the least number of votes. And it should have been fewest. Of course. If my children had been listening they would have guffawed as this is precisely the kind of thing I keep banging on about. Much to their irritation. Yesterday I had a long meeting with my (book) editor and talked commas, hyphens and colons (I know I know). There appears to be much high level discussion about when to use and when to leave well alone. I thought never a comma before an 'and' or a 'but', however (which isn't the same as a but) that is not always the case apparently. And I have taken recently to too many semi colons; this must stop. An affectation. Must cut down a bit.
Anyway I said good bye to the manuscript after 18 months work and it is at the printers before Christmas. All I have to do is panic.
So food time and it is Nigel's veggie Christmas tonight. The meat is often the most expensive bit of the food, so maybe there'll be more takers for a meat -free dish. I love the trimmings as much as the meat if I'm honest so this is good one for me. The most important item is the bread sauce - king of all it surveys. Make it a good one Nige!
And let's get a festive line in the oldies. I reckon it's CHRISTMAS WISH LIST time. "I WANT ONE OF THOSE." It's stuff you want for Christmas, what ever that might be. If what you want is a stable Eurozone, we'll try to accommodate you but wouldn't you rather Peace On Earth? Or you're 2 front teeth etc Have a sure-footed and bracing Thursday. See you after 5.

Before I get maudlin, I have to report that last nights "gift" was a wee field mouse. Alive. Little Rosie, who is a very small cat, has a growl like a Harley Davidson. Am surprised little mouse didn't die of burst eardrums. In fact, it didn't die at all - Mr P managed to rescue it and put it outside (cats are shut in at night at the moment). Let's hope it found its way home. Rosie was most affronted at her new pet/snack being taken away. Cue more Harley Davidson growling.

#71 There are some phrases you only hear at Christmas time. "Crafty grope" is one of them.
Shona, get home safely.
Tortie, if you are about - I have replied to your message. I think. FB on my phone is playing up a bit.

No one seemingly should travel between the hours of 3pm and 9pm and all the trains / buses are about to go off. Walking dogpoppets later will be an experience. I have an image of flying two kites.
Oh, oh, here we go again...........trees outside bending in half
