I read the news today, oh boy!

[Jerome]

I know you've had a rough year. This isn't going to fix anything but it might go some way towards brightening up your festive season. Have a good one!

a barber gets sot because a father doesn't like the haircut he gave his son!?!?!

FFS people, how a bout a little goodwill and cheer at this time of the year

As for your other news articles CH - they only confirm what I think - the human race is basically nuts.

Today's menu:

Mexican breakfast - Huevos Rancheros
French Dinner - Coq Au Vin
Canadian dessert - Canadian Flag Pudding

My stomach isn't going to know what country it's in.

^^Thank you for the update Jerome.

Pavlova, attempt 2. No idea what’s going on – I’m usually good at these!! Aaargh! Anyway – off to an orphan’s Christmas – for those of us who are short of relatives. I have been given two bottles of fabulous vintage bubbly by lovely friends who I suspect must have shares in the vineyard by now – hoping that will mitigate the dessert fiasco! Happy Day all.

[Jerome]

Enjoy your day Ruby.

Pavlova.
lots of debate as to its origins, both New Zealand and Australia claim ownership of the dessert,
from what ive read though, im on the side of the Kiwi's.

not that im a dessert kind of guy but I would eat Pavlova everyday if I could (and wasn't diabetic).

enjoy your Orphan's Christmas Ruby, that's a good news story, beats the crap that on the nightly news!
my daughter does that for homeless people in Melbourne on Xmas Day (she used to do it in Perth till she moved to the other side of the country)

[Jerome]

Update - now in Kempton Park.

[Ruby]

^Ok, thanks. 

Speaking of online listening - does anyone have one of these? Or has anyone used one? https://www.audioquest.com/dacs/dragonfly/dragonfly-red

short answer...no

also,

George Michael's sister (his personal hairdresser) was found dead in her home on Christmas Day, the third anniversary of his death.
it appears at this time that there are no suspicious circumstances...
