I think I'd need more than Amble by the sea to make sure something reached you.

Damn it s...Hi there, Ross, and a very Merry to you. Damn it sounds cold where you are. Not sure I could take it. <br /><br />Are those hedgehogs on the fireplace top? They look like hedgehogs--one of my favorite animals. <br /><br />I used to let my kids buy their own presents with the theory that they would never be disappointed. It worked, at least as far as I know. They were probably disappointed with the amount they had to spend, but they survived. <br /><br />I just heard the Beattles on the TV this morning. Also heard the Stones. We DID have great music, didn't we?<br /><br />Stay warm, my friend.

Just absolutely amazing music, even if not the new remaster. Cheers me every time. Coming to take me away, take me today--sunny ~25C, lovely day to walk the dogs. Maybe 6C tonight.<br /><br />No chance of a white Christmas, not that I'm complaining.<br /><br />Happy Christmas to you and Cailean.
