Over the summer we had
our annual garden party; I worked the night shift before that. During
the year we had two good works booze ups the nights before which I'd
done night shifts. And I did the same yesterday.
A night shift before a party seems to be becoming something of a tradition for me.

But despite lack of
sleep and copious amounts of food and drink I was still wide awake
and watching Alan Partridge on the telly at 3am. This time it was not
so much insomnia as guts ache from having eaten *far* too
much.
I went back to bed and
despite Sid's snoring I got off to sleep; finally waking shortly
after 9am. I came downstairs fully expecting to have to sort out the
carnage of yesterday only to find it had all been sorted.
"er indoors TM"
has done a rather good job of Christmas. I quite enjoyed yesterday;
in years gone by Christmas has always been done in Hastings. And much
as I do like seening family and friends, historically Christmas has
always been something of a road trip for us.
It was good having the
day at home for a change.
As the rest of the family
snored I had a look on Facebook. For all that over the last few days
everyone of my acquaintace seemed to be complaining about not feeling
Christmassy it looked as though most people had a good time
yesterday.
"Daddies Little
Angel TM" called round with a pile of
laundry for us to do, and I then spent a few minutes messing with my
Chrimbo pressie. "er indoors TM"
got me a SmartWatch. It took a little farting around to get it
commected to my phone and I've got a lot to learn about it but it
seems to be a good toy.
We then took "Furry
Face TM" round the park for a walk;
picking up a few Munzees as we went. The plan was to come home via
the pet shop to get some dog food, but they were closed today.
Once home we started
watching all the drivel that the SkyPlus box had recorded for us
yesterday until father-in-law came to visit for a bit.
We then carried on
staring at the telly. The Christmas "Doctor Who" was
something of a disappointment. The Christmas "Downton Abbey"
was good. The Christmas "Gogglebox" was just
rubbish.
Many people make a point
of doing something on Boxing Day. We do lots most days; having a lazy
day was a really good change...
