Merry Christmas to anyone who reads the blog, whether you are visible or invisible.

I haven't even started writing out Christmas cards to send and I might be too late for some people: please don't be Bad Fairies at my Christening, but forgive me, I have not forgotten you!

And Wilky- I can't find the Chefs badges at the moment but as soon as I do I will send you one.

And for anyone expecting me to be supporting the Daintees at Accies in Glasgae tonight- alas! There have been no flights out of Luton today and I had to turn round and come home, missing not only one of the best gigs of the year but also an afternoon knocking round Glasgae with Martin and the Brothers Dunn.

Boo hoo!
