After spending the evening with friends in the Pays Basque, Mrs E and I have nipped over the border into Spain for lunch.

Of course it would be cheeky not to buy a case of champagne and Mrs E is checking out shoe shops.

A slow drive home later and start getting into the Christmas spirit.

Rue St Catherine, Bordeaux. What do you mean it’ll be packed on the last Saturday before Christmas ???

Glad I stayed away.

After a very hard night, I’ve just come back from the vets.

We said goodbye to Baxter, 4 months short of his 14th birthday. My two other dogs could sense something was afoot and are very subdued. I held him and kissed his nose right to the very end.

He was a good boy, he’ll he missed.

Hmmmmm. It might be a long night here. My 13.5 year old labrador is not too good. He’s been losing weight and mobility lately and has taken a downturn in the last few weeks.

I’ve got a feeling this might not end well.

One good point to come out of Russia ramping up their rhetoric against the west, is that we’ll finally get to see Farage “don khaki, pick up a rifle and head for the front lines” as he once stated. (Admittedly he was talking about Brexit but I’m sure he’s still up for it)

I won’t hold my breath.

Apparently they make me look hard.

Re the Kennedy center renaming….

I mean if a president has to be assassinated to have his name on a building I guess I could agree to that ?

Jeez, now that’s a fivehead.

I bought 72 bottles of wine last weekend, some cognac and a case of champagne yesterday and will be getting some other alcohols for cocktails today.

Do you think I’ve got enough ??

Pssst…….I’ve bought Mrs E a wooden leg for Christmas.

It’s not her main present though, just a stocking filler.

A friend of mine in Sydney was telling me about how they’re looking forward to today. Cocktails, Xmas music and decorating the tree with her granddaughters. Instead her daughter ( quite high in the police, was called in to help with the shooting)

What a tragic and traumatic day.

I’ve told Mrs E…. You bloody spoil that dog.

Love this.
In Australia, after his team won the championship,
the football captain went into the stands to bring Sammy,
their waterboy who has Down's Syndrome, to celebrate with them.
