        Twas dryish in Cardiff.

        Cost me £10 for the taxi from the station to the Catalan restaurant.

        Food was excellent, and I was a mere 30 minutes late.

        Got mildly pissed and enjoyed the meal muchly.

        Then a stagger back into Cardiff to find a pub that served Brains () and had a table where gifts might be exchanged.

        Then the nephew & wife buggered off, I presume back to Neath, whereas I remained with the adults and discussions took place over how to avoid the traumas of cooking turkeys, geese, and any fecking thing else in the future.

        After which it was time to return to the metropolis, such as it was, i.e. totally fecking empty & dead, with added drizzle and a cold wind just to make it that little bit more miserable.

        Now having made tea which was the poached tomato and scrambled egg thing with 1.05 pints of Good Glengettie Tea, it's nearly time for yet more BTVS and Angel, probably S7 E9 & 10 and S4 E9 & 10 respectively.

        There is (oddly enough) a chart that shows how to watch the two shows for maximum enjoyment but I'm not sure I can be arsed.
        When the fun stops, STOP.

          In the Chinese early, as I’m meeting a friend for a drink later

            Are there Other Customers Who Might Want To Talk To You?

            Just askin' like.

            I'm sure I had friends, once, long long ago, and far far way.

            Things were different then.

            Like they didn't put bits of fecking shark in the flu jab for one thing, just mercury.

            I think the lurgie is resurrecting itself as my alcohol level drops.

              Apparently it’s a tradition in Poland to put hay beneath the tablecloth for the Christmas meal. I wonder if they’ll do that over there?

              The traditional Christmas gingerbread sounds OK though
              I hope the chef is versed in the art of self defence with narwhal tusk?

                Maybe you should drink enough to kill it off then?

                    And very nice it was

                    The Chinese, that is; I haven’t been for the drink yet.

                    Thankfully no

                    Not sure they need that sort of thing here - it’s not like That London, you know

                      The gods of the weather clearly knew I’d be walking back from the pub long before I even knew I’d be going there; got drenched coming home

                      Hubris, meet Nemesis

                      Anyway, an enjoyable evening. Now I need to decide what to have as a post-pub snack, and what to watch
