Hi Jackie, and Gifthorse, and, of course, everybody else as well.

I'm glad you had good Christmases, and hope you have great New Year's too.

I had my niece around for lunch, so put together a roast duck (more traditional and al that - goose would have been too big), along with trimmings - stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce - all made from scratch, of which I was quite proud. Couldn't drink, though - work later in the evening.

And, uncharacteristically, I actually bought three presents this year - my first in about five years. I must be going soft in my dotage.

Anyway, hope you all have a great year to come, and lot's more AWADing.

cheer
