This Christmas long weekend I…
- met Stuart for lunch in Glasgow before he jets off on his next big adventure (do not ever, ever go to Oko Express if you’re looking for Japanese cuisine)
- bought a car (a small car, so I’m thinking it needs a macho name, something that makes one think of the Amazon)
- met up with Derek and Indira for a coffee in Glasgow
- had dinner with my cousin and his family
- did sweet FA on Christmas Eve (was terribly impressed with Neil’s mum, who was simultaneously preparing Christmas AND Christmas Eve dinner)
- drank wine with Neil and opened one present after the clock struck midnight (he got me the new Take That album! Squeeeeeeee!)
- waited for his sister to come along, and we opened our presents (I’m not used to this multiple present thing — it’s so appreciated, but I feel so… overindulged, and I didn’t really gift to that extent, either)
- chilled out until it was time for dinner (at 3pm… something else I’m not used to)
- ate turkey (!), pigs in blankets (!), Brussels sprouts (!), mushrooms (!), two different kinds of potatoes (!), carrots and corn (!), and raspberry trifle (!!)
- chilled out till we headed to Neil’s pal Brian’s (and they gave me The Happy Hooker and a Family Guy DVD)

sounds like fun! how were wee D and Indira?
thanks for the wooly hat and the confinement food recipes. i don’t know where i’d get some of the ingredients needed here in austin - there’s a new asian supermarket thing up north that i can check. i’ll need to cook in advance and freeze some dishes. or persuede mark to make them for me?!

Derek and Indira? Indira’s lovely. Wee D’s the same, as grouchy and fascist about music as ever!
I figured Mark could make the recipes for you… he can cook, and these are for your health and baby’s health! I hope you can read all the recipes, my handwriting’s become really crap.

“…and I didn’t really gift to that extent, either…”
Sounds a little like this comic. :)
