🎄 New Year

Last night I lit a fire pit, wrapped the gazebo with fairy lights, extended the cover with a huge umbrella, and got 6 choristers (us included) together, all socially distanced, and we sang carols from 6.00 until 9.00.

At half time there was a chicken curry followed by mince pies; there was also beer, wine and non-alcoholic punch.

Luckily it wasn’t too cold, but we all gathered around the firepit towards the end (still socially distanced!).

In spite of everything, we were determined to do something, as all of us have been without singing in large and small choirs for the best part of a year.

It was absolutely wonderful, and we now feel that Christmas is coming!

It will be Steak that I will ask to be cooked very rare and they will cremate it I will also ask for the sauce black pepper to be on the side but they will pour it all over to try and disguise the fact they burnt what is meant to b a rare steak. before offering it up with French fries from a frozen packet.

Did you notice the beverage is tea or coffee ?

I did notice the tea and coffee but thought I wouldn’t increase your pain by asking where the booze menu was…

The Ayatollah has decided that we should start a new tradition- apparently we should watch Its a wonderful life at Christmas

Now I have managed 48 years without watching it and 20 minutes in, I am pretty sure I can go another 48 years

For some reason we have to finish it

Good man :+1::+1:

I like It’s a Wonderful Life. Not so much acting as watching Jimmy Stewart channeling his post war PTSD.
