There was also, of course, the small matter of outstanding pressies and Mrs S's Mum did us proud - half a dozen bottles of Rioja (did I mention we like Rioja?) and a DAB radio. We listen to a lot of radio around the house, which, up to now, has been by means of a laptop, but after we'd arrived home and donned our loosest clothing to allow our full, groaning stomachs a little comfort, I unboxed and set up our new DAB. Following a short period of fiddling and cursing, the tunes came booming forth in superb sound quality, one of the first being 'Gangsta' by tUnE-yArDs, which I played to death in 2011, but hadn't heard in a while. It still sounds crazy, unique and magnificent. Here's a great live version that shows how it's all done. Now, where did I put that Milk of Magnesia?

Christmas (slight return)
We're just back from the, much delayed,
concluding section of Christmas 2012.
Traditionally we visit Mrs S's Dad & Gran on
Christmas day and then her Mum & Step-Dad
for a few days in the run-up to the New
Year, but illness, inclement weather and
sundry other commitments conspired to delay
the second of our Christmas dinners by a
full two months. Right now though, we are
stuffed to the gills with stodgy food, salty
snack-treats and raspberry cheese cake, all
washed down with lashings of Rioja.
