Noël Van Winkle

Eeeks, I've just awoken after sleeping solidly for three straight days and nights and it's only 30 minutes to Christmas ! My shopping for gifts is somewhat restricted at this time of night - options are sausage rolls and corn chips from the petrol station down the road, or flowers from the neighbour's garden. I might repackage up my old video recorder and pass it on to an elderly relative - they won't notice its vintage. And there's a spare cat wandering around the corridor near me as I type - if only he can be tempted into a large box.

Next year I'll make sure not to contract a nasty bug from a buffet. It really ruined my 7th to the 11th days of Christmas this year.
