Christmas is coming.

......So they say, well, well I would never have guessed.
My memory span doesnt go back to the start of the Xmas advertising splurge.
.... where was I? ---- Oh yes Xmas.
Have you got the Governments Xmas gift yet? I have and Ive salted it away so I can pay the electric in February.
My its been cold and windy hasnt it?
.... where was I? --- Oh yes Xmas.
I told Angus I had a big bird in the freezer and his reply was unprintable on these pages. Before he twigged it was a Turkey and not Mhairi from the other place, he gave me some very friendly advice about stuffing.
I must admit he had me totally confused for 10 mins or so, but when we had straightened out our misunderstanding he laughed and had to have another top-up of his dram.
.... where was I? ---Oh yes Xmas.
Alec was saying that i hadnt sent out any Xmas cards this year and I told him I had. He said I hadnt and pointed to the pile of cards on the chest of drawers. Ach well I'll post them soon.
Ive changed the car the other was giving me a headache with the not starting and the not stopping was even scarier.
The boys going to join me for the Turkey and heres fingers crossed we get enough electricity to cook the damned thing. Otherwise it will be a boiled ham dinner like a couple of years ago.
Minced pies are something I love and he's bringing a couple of box's.
Aunt Aggie has baked me the best Xmas cake in the whole universe, I had a wee taster the other night with some dubious sherry I had left from last year.
Quality Street it said on the tin and theres me thinking Aggie had bought me sweeties and baked no cake this year. Good job I was tempted for a sweetie otherwise the cake may have been discovered too late.
.... where was I? ---- Oh yes Xmas.
I will have to throw the creels and rope out of the spare bedroom so the boy has a bed to sleep in, I'm sure he wont mind the smell of the sea in the room.
Did I say the sea? - ach well.
I wish you all the very best for Xmas and the New Year, and as long as I see both through I shall be a happy man.
