We will be spending Christmas Day as guests of Keats and his fiance, Debbie (she doesn't care much for Floyd, but I'm working on her). Mrs Mike has then planned a full and varied programme of tasks for me to perform which she will instigate on Boxing Day. She informs me that these will take me very nicely up to New Years Eve, when we will travel down to Dorset to spend some time with my youngest son, his wife and our granddaughters.
P.S. You might think, bearing in mind the above itinarary, that laying siege to Tesco or where ever will not be a feature of my life this Christmas. Wrong!!! Even though we aren't entertaining, Mrs Mike informs me that we shall require a turkey etc so that we can have 'left overs' back at ours. :-
