shewhomustLucy Mangan cries at carol concerts.
And in between we've had two days as visitors, Christmas morning party and Boxing Day afternoon party, two long-established traditions where we meet people we've known for a long time but may only see once a year (and sometimes people are at one party who we might have expected to see at the other). The filling in the sandwich was a collaborative Christmas dinner, with our host S. as chef de cuisine, vegetables peeled by the company. We paused between main course and pudding for Doctor Who, too well fed and mellow to be seriously critical. The pudding, which was my contribution, was full of good things and tasted fine, but was falling apart, and the PX which accompanied it was sweeter than I had expected (and I had expected it to be sweet) and would have been better for a touch of acidity. And these things are also true of Doctor Who.
Today we prepare for the arrival of visitors of our own (if we can drag ourselves away from the internets).
There'll be laughter and tears over Tia Marias
Mixed up with that drink made from girders
And it's all we've got left as they draw their last breath
And it's nice for the kids as you finally get rid of them
In the St Stephen's Day Murders
