Shunned the turkey this year and went for roast free range chicken instead. Tasty. Loads of scrappy leftovers (cooked 2) for general pet feeding and pasta bake later on today. This is the first year with no chocs or sweets due to general health purge thing in a bid to stop my GP writing to me with offers of health checks.
Sparrowhawk drove a goldfinch into my window so we nearly had roast goldfinch too, but there was a Christmas Miracle and the goldfinch came round after about an hour in a dark box in front of the fire.
Hostafan when my dad has a cold he swears on having hot water mixed with honey and brandy, he said it kills the germ, I think it probably gets you drunk

Not full here as we didn't get our dinner yesterday. Let's just say Shiraz was to blame for the chef falling asleep on the sofa.
I did get 2 slices of toast and some paté at about 11pm
Verdun how did you know?
Hostafan, you can have some of my trifle I have just made
, hope your feeling a bit better today too 
still feeling rubbish flumpy but about to dive into a bacon butty.
You try and keep your energy up Hostafan, when I'm feeling poorly I just stick to poached egg on toast with a little salt
Bacon butties can cure most wine-related ailments. We used to call it Cook's Privilege but it can be Cook's Downfall.
Frankie6 my mum and dad always have a large free range chicken at Xmas and it tastes delicious with all the roast mmmmm
Frankie, I've got a mingin' cold . I have to say no wine related ailments for me , for once.
Hostafan, hope you feel better soon. Bacon butties also medicinal for a whole range of ailments.
Flumpy: your mum and dad are very clever folk. I've only just realised how good it is!
