Mary Popping Christmas

Seeing off my lady on Saturday. Doing the garden round - all is well! Monday in the office with Carl. Dinner at Sarah's, collecting photos and my tshirt. Mary Poppins in the storm on the way back home. Tuesday off work - no trains across the whole of London after high winds and rain. Cab to 3B in the evening. Christmas Eve, Christmas Day - wonderful company and Finn's mountain of presents. The fire outside, Ouma Lena's cutlery and bowls, Articulate, Poker with dice, Who's in the the bag - laughing so hard I nearly died. Confusion about my ex, but I know which way to go. Beachy Head, obstacle course journey back home. NYE crackers made!
