All non-parcel Christmas cards have been written. Among tomorrow's tasks will be going to the post office for stamps and packaging material.

Is the correct answer. The newer, flatter version is much more boring

On older photos, the black & white armco screams "Brands", and there's not many places around there that could chuck a car sideways in the air like that.

I still do the anorak thing of being able to identify most circuits and individual corners by distinguishing features such as the armco & kerbing even from close crop photographs. As for chucking the car in the air - Knockhill is still good for that, just as it was back in '94 (Giampero Simoni)

When it comes to anorak-ism, I think you and I are birds of a feather. Add my mate Simon (of the transport bookshop) and we'd make a good triumvirate.

Oh yes! I do not expect Chris to win, but I am so pleased that he made it to the final.

Shh!
I don't usually watch it, but have loved it this year.

Think Chris is favourite to win, and could easily do so, as it's ultimately decided by the public vote.

Pete - warming to him gradually.

JB and Lauren - pure joy and they get the highest scores, although he wasn't nearly as good when partnered with Amy.

Sarah - impresses me the most, particularly when she interacts with additional/multiple dancers.

But my choice would be Tasha - her dancing is absolutely beautiful, she touches emotions.

I haven't got a TV!

I'm just back from a salsa evening where I did it for real.

Thought salsa was a dip you got with nachos.
A whole evening of salsa would really give me wind

Fire banked for the night, and am tucked up in bed with the non-furry hot water bottle. The furry hot water bottle is far too busy turning herself into a donner kebab by the radiator on the landing.

Sleep time.

Nunnight one and all xxx

I have been invited to a party at one of my neighbours. They are "new" neighbours who moved in last September. It is next week and described as Mingle and Tingle with mulled wine and mince pies.

Would you take with you some small contribution to the party? I was thinking along the lines of about two boxes of Lindor wrapped chocolates. If it was a small gathering of perhaps six people, I would definitely take something for the host. What do you think?

If the keys start going in a hat I'd skedadale quick...................mince pies and mulled wine, can't think of anything worse, will there be 'Vol au vonts' too

Morning.
Not sure what the weather is doing at the moment as it is still dark.
I am a bit angry with myself. I was having a nice dream. It was snowing and there was 4 inches of snow on the ground and I was busy making a 5 foot tall column ready to make a sculpture when the weather changed and it all melted!
How come the weather changed? It was my dream and I was enjoying it up to that point!

A slightly damp pre work walk completed not far enough really but it will do
