happy chirtmas everyone, i hope you all got what you wanted. i was treated to a DAB walkman which is quite attractive, if a little weak on reception downstairs. i have managed so far to eat and drink well within my limits, and i am cheered to see the fire burn in the grate. maybe tonight will see a repeat of last year's legendary "blue remebered hills" episode with my brother. we certainly have plenty of laphroig in. in all festive cheers, i wish you a fond farewell from kent.
