I'm giving Gladiator a whirl for the first time since seeing it in the cinema. Quite a jolly romp, but so unlike the home life of our own dear king.

I don't think I've had any heating on since Monday. I know it's been mild, but this seems a bit weird in December.

Very successful visits to the dentist and optician. I was expecting to shell out £££, but got away with just the check up fee at the dentist as nothing else needed changing /doing which was an absolute result!

In an unexpected development, I have completely finished my Christmas shopping. Now just need to wrap everything, which takes just as long.

Is Biscoff becoming the new salted caramel? It seems to be appearing everywhere and I'm not a fan.

I have spent the afternoon revitalising the grout in my bathroom. I'm such a keeper!

Still stuffed from lunch. I'll probably be hungry around midnight, when it's unacceptable to cook bacon.

Having a lazy morning until I go out to lunch with ex work colleagues - all long retired. Those days working with them seems like another life.

Today has mainly been about lounging on the sofa, reading my book and watching old BBC costume dramas.

Sunday, raining, nowhere I need to be, no-one I need to speak to, nothing I need to be doing. Today's all about me. Bliss.

Right, I've watched my Christmas film for the year (The Bishop's Wife). Unless they show Muppet Christmas Carol which I've never seen.

Great afternoon with @graeme1982.bsky.social in Earl's Court at the Fenella Fielding exhibition. False eyelashes anyone?

Got back home after an evening out and the smell of rotten satsuma when I opened the front door was overwhelming. All sorted now though. How can I have not noticed it all day?
