Sunday 8th December - Sunday Afternoon

 I started this morning by watching Fanny Cradock Cooks For Christmas, so it's a good day.  I don't know if it is her eyebrows, her general distain for everyone, her dismissal of feminism, the number of times she plugs her booklet or the dubious hygiene, but I absolutely love it and it is an essential part of my Christmas preparation. She can 'carve' a chicken with garden secateurs in three and a half minutes. Awesome.
