Ups and downs 2

I am about to depart this life for a better one in which there is more food, presents and good company but less online access. So I would like to wish both my readers a very warm Christmas full of twinkly lights, vintage port and a ready audience for endless bad jokes.

Back by Boxing Day eve; the cats will need feeding.

Not sure whether I'm more excited about the immanence of Christmas Day or next weekend's resolution of last night's Robin Hood cliffhanger. Both are exceedingly good :-)
