Snuffle, snuffle, snuffle: I have a bit of a cold- but not bad enough to impair the jollity. We took presents to the Muslim kids next door. My kids rang- that's Alice and Mike; they're with their mum in London. Mike said he went to church this morning. When did I last go to church for anything other than a funeral?  Eighteen years ago I guess. Ailz is with her parents- eating lunch and  I'm here on my tod . Joe will be back this afternoon and he and Ailz and I will eat something we'll call Christmas dinner together.

And now I've just poured myself a glass of an inky Spanish red and I'm nibbling on a wedge of Blacksticks Blue.

All in all, not a bad time, sniffles aside.
And what would be the name of that "inky Spanish red"?

Have a good day, Tony, and I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks.

The wine is a Rjoca with the brand name Berberana.

Rioja! We have a case of Berberana Carta de Oro Rioja here at home.
Excellent choice.

I'm afraid the cold is worse today. Ah well, I should imagine every body else has a hangover...

No hangover here--been a year now since I quit drink! Best decision I've made. However, I woke up with sneezes and sniffles today! What luck! May it be cleared by the New Year!

I hope your Christmas was fine, that you're now getting over your cold, and that your new year will be filled with lots of good surprises, Tony.
