{All in a day.}
And so, these great bright days have seen us feast well, my family and me. We’ve dined indoors and outside in the sun under the blue. We’ve feasted on all things savoury and all things sweet and all in good festive spirit. The walls of a gingerbread castle, they can make a breakfast delicious (though not nutritious). This relaxed air, this is what makes these days after Christmas so very appealing, that sense that plum pudding with brandy cream is a great lunch, listening to my Dad’s last two Bop Shop purchases (Preacher Jack at the Piano and Ocie Stockard and the Wanderers) as we do so.
Yes, we may now have a car dinted beyond a panel beater’s repair (owing to those Christmas hailstones that fell so very hard), but it is still a worthy chariot until the New Year arrives and a new car bought with those insurance claim pennies*. (*We hope.) Tintin’s adventures with Snowy have left me feeling inspired. As I mentioned earlier this morn, “have will, need only torch”. All adventure seekers have a torch. Get thee ready!
