… the Angels did say was at about blasted 07:45 this flaming morning. <\/p>\n
That’s because despite it being a Bank Holiday and accordingly a Day of Rest, where nothing ever moves before perishing midday, Brain of Britain here forgot to switch off his sodding alarm clock, didn’t he?<\/p>\n
Still, the early start gave me plenty of time to relax and open my presents.<\/p>\n
Lots of DVDs, CDs, books and computer stuff. All a man could desire – except for Kate Bush and Jenny Agutter of course, but you can’t have everything.<\/p>\n
And once breakfast was out of the way I sat down for the start of my marathon DVD session.<\/p>\n
Lunch was the typical Christmas Day lunch \u2013 nibbling on bits and pieces, and then having had a suitable repose, I prepared the veg for the evening meal. <\/p>\n
Boiled potatoes, roast potatoes, carrots, endives and sprouts \u2013 all cooked in the steamer.<\/p>\n
C\u00e9cile came round in the late afternoon, just in time for Carry on Don’t Lose Your Head<\/a> Not my favourite Carry-On film but one that she would understand, with lots of visual humour. High time, given the state of globalisation in the world today, that I started spreading around the spirit of Carry On humour. <\/p>\n So a few more films, a Christmas meal (the aforementioned plus seitan slices in onion gravy, Christmas pudding and vegan cream followed by coffee and Christmas cake), and a good chat, she went home and I went to bed.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.co.uk\/e\/ir?t=erichall-21&l=as2&o=2&a=B000085ROE\")
