Nights are drawing in and the weather is getting colder.
Most of the presents are bought and the Winter Fuel Allowance all spent on a lost weekend of dissolute hedonism.
Our little planet has almost completed its elliptical circuit of the sun and the Christmas Radio Times ordered.
All that's missing is Vic's annual announcement that he is giving up politics again!
A little early but Merry Christmas to one and all.
(I shall be out of contact for a while as, like Stephen Fry, I am going to somewhere where it is 'inadvisable to take a mobile phone' - I hope to report back from St Radigans in the New Year.
