The Cask and Cardigan....

.....in the Beard tonight for the Preston North End game, except Mike wasn't showing it...big jobby.

Early start with the arrival of our new, non-cat scratched sofa. Super, 'cept, Nancy has ordered it without really thinking through how difficult it will be to get rid of an old sofa at this time of year.

A day of domestic bliss; dusting, hoovering, washing the white wood-work and windows (more Nancy'isms)...some sort of pagan madness about cleaning the house top to bottom before the new year.

Curry for tea and a wee chat with Jeff in the Windsor Buffet whilst waiting for the food to be placed in metal containers and plastic bags.

Jolly good.
