Possibly the one “good” thing about living with a grinch is that Christmas no longer exists in my home so l no longer stress about presents. Oh wait, l never did. Finding fab presents for friends was one of the best things ever, I’d start shopping around in August. Another lifetime ago…

They don't care. And for sure some local shit company is making money off it too.

That last photo is Luna up on the sofa staring lovingly at her most favourite person in the world (no not me!). Hint... @petertatford.bsky.social

Yeah, she's 14 and so has had a great life after being rescued from the street as a tiny kitten... but I just spent 400€ on her so I've told her she owes me at least 4-5 more years 😉

400€ later 😬 they removed two tumours and a bunch of nodes, now waiting for biopsy results 🤞 Meanwhile, she is either flopping over after taking two steps or, if I turn my back for a moment, has climbed to the top of the cat tree. wtf.

🍇 Tempranillo, Garnacha, Syrah
✨ Intense fruit and flower notes with hints of vanilla and caramel. Fresh and delicate, polished tannins and a smooth finish.

Who bought it?

Ha, called it. 12.15 am…

Next time you go say hi to Sarah and Ian from me.

And now in bed at 9pm… just can’t think of anything else to do. But it doesn’t bode well for staying asleep even much past midnight. Morcilla’s loving it though, happily sharing the duvet with me. Anyhow, wish me luck!

Sherry Week has been great for helping people get to know sherry wines. Do you know Bar Lento in Winchester? Run by friends of mine.
