Can't beat a Greggs Sausage roll ... at this time of the year ! LadBaby agrees with you. "Bakers baking/I went to Greggs, now I’m isolating" (It would be in my nature to be cynical about this, but I'm genuinely moved by it - particularly in that all profits go to a charity that feeds people in the UK. The fact that people in the UK need food handouts in this day and age, however, is not something I'm particularly keen on. I'm tempted to say <duck> the Tories.)

Today I'm travelling to my penthouse flat overlooking Edinburgh....my only trip out before Xmas will be to M&S to spend the £100 voucher my agency sent me as a thank you gift...that should keep me in food until Boxing Day hopefully. My wine rack is fully stocked and a nine pint cask of beer ready for opening as well as 10 bottles of a tasty IPA in the cupboard. I think I'll survive. No effing visitors please....BAH HUMBUG!! Good luck with the trip to M and S, they were queuing up outside the local branch in my home town at 8 A.M. this morning. Tier 4 ! Totally overrated IMHO, much like Waitrose..........i mean who would pay in excess of over 60 quid for a Bronze Turkey ? And another thing is, half the mugs that buy a Crown don't realize that what they are actually paying for, is the weight of the whole bird before it was Crowned. I bought a chook for a fiver Mr Fish...I'm not a big turkey fan. I did get some seafood bits that looked good...oh and at 730am I had the place to myself as well.

I'm about to break the seal on a potted Stilton bought a few years back. I believe it's what some Farangs refer to as revenge of the Fermented fish taken back to BKK come hell or high water after a Songkran break in deepest darkest Isaan

Can't beat a Greggs Sausage roll or Mince pie at this time of the year ! Mrs CM runs a bakery business and has been making mince pies for me at Xmas for several years and objectively speaking they are as good as the best you'll find in the UK. This year she marketed them to the (Thai) general public and the uptake was surprisingly high, I would not have expected there to be such a demand but Thai's seem to love them, especially Bangkokians.

I'm betting bottle number 1 is a euphemism for bottle number 1.

Well I spent Christmas Day all alone and without taking anti-depressants or mind altering delicious stimulants and rave music.
I'm living proof it can be done...too many people are unhappy with their own company I think...a strange phenomenon to me.

With a wedge of Blacksticks Blue and God knows how many, erm, bottles polished off. I shudder by the mere thought you might have made some selfies with cheese stains everywhere

Oh and back on the vino with footy up next. It truly is a wonderful life!
