Ah - can't beat wee smiling faces at Christmas, and I'm sure your granddaughter will love seeing yours. Hope you have lots of fun! It'll be even better next year, when she's more aware, and has her own Amazon account!
When you say "warm up", Diane... would we be be talking about the relatively balmy -30s? I cannot conceive of such extremes. As per usual, most of the UK south of the border ground to a halt the other week when temperatures dipped a couple of degrees below zero. But even we hardy Scots would do the same long before we got anywhere near what you regularly experience at this time of year. Enjoy your fun things! Sounds delightful.
And I hope the Ship In does you proud, Max. I popped into the bar there a few years back... interesting latrines as I recall.
I would normally be working on my regular Sunday cartoon for Monday's paper (the only day of the year they don't publish is Christmas Day, but that's obviously put together on Christmas Eve). But I've managed to wangle the day off by getting ahead with a non-topical offering this year, so I'll be spending the day with two of my daughters and my older two grandkids in their lochside house in the forest just north of Perth, and there will be sprouts! Had a meal with my youngest daughter on Wednesday, and will be nipping over to Edinburgh to see the second youngest tomorrow, along with my other two grandsons, the newest of which is four months younger than Roger's granddaughter. I was at the local panto for the third time last night (long story), and looking forward to seeing it twice more before New Year's Day (same long story). This has been a truly roller-coaster year, all things considered, including world events, and I hope and pray for a far more settled year ahead. I'll happily trade the highs for fewer lows.
And then there's this. Merry Christmas, Everyone!
