Finally cooked up the Crimbo ham - gently boiled and then baked in marmalade. Lovely. Can't be bothered to cook properly so it's ham, cheese and fresh baked rolls with apples and chutney. Food of Kings.
Dragons v Scarlets on the tellybox, which should be a good game.

Cooking a roast dinner for my wife and I with all the trimmings, finish the GW garden of mor (minus all the O.T.T extra bits) to go with my plan for Witchfinder general / hammer horror village type thing and then settle down to watch Transformers R.O.T.F. on new blu-ray surround sound (we treated ourselves as it's Xmas), oh and beer and wine, should be a good night
Fighting a cold, getting ready to eat some Japanese Soba with chichen, and catching up with the WG forum while looking up info on the ECW (very very little to be found in bookstores this side of the pond).
It's just noon here....not sure what the rest of the day will bring.

I got an envelope through the post at 7am this morning with a cute little card box in it, the kind you buy wholesale jewellery in. I wracked my brain trying to work if I'd bought something for someone's christmas and I'd forgotten. I opened it and was delighted to find a Union Cannon from Perry Miniatures! Just two or three days is excellent for delivery.
