Thunderthighs has just gone out all alone in the snow and ice to get the Observer for his father who is lying snoring in bed
Miss Fiddle Has he come back yet?
Bentonbag He was out for some time but has returned.

Still in my dressing gown, Ferretfingers only just got up/bathed/dressed, Thunderthighs just come in from trip on bus to Dinnington, Fester sorting beetles at kitchen table.
Boatman  Sorting beetles sounds right...

Listening to Piers Morgan being skewered is most enjoyable - schadenfreude at its highest - I bet Ian Hislop has a huge grin on.

Cards are done and Fester and Ferretfingers are taking them up to the post box in this awful weather.

The Tree is decorated – mostly by Ferretfingers – it kept him occupied for quite some time.
I’ve told him we’ll “tinsel up the ceiling” on Wednesday afternoon – preferably after the sweep’s been as there’s only so much chaos one room can cope with.
Today's plan?
Tesco with Thunderthighs, ironing and going visiting with gifts.

"How many jumpers do I have?"
“What?!”
"The one I wear now is very long and the fleece I'm wearing is quite short so it hangs about a foot out of the bottom."
“Well, if you can possibly remember, what colour is the one you're wearing now?”
"What colour?  I don't know from colour.  Oh you mean the beige and brown one."
“Yes.  You've also got the beetles one.”
"The beetles one!  What beetles one?"
“The one I knit you!  That beetles one.”
"Oh that one ... Where is it?"
“How should I know?! ... In your f*cking wardrobe.”
Grown man, three degrees, I swear he's getting worse.
However much booze he gets me for Christmas it's not enough!
Jay Mural  We have similar conversations. You are not alone
Bentonbag  Thank you for that.  Shall we set up a support group?
Jay Mural  I think we should, I expect there are many people suffering out there!
