Evidently Tinseltown
The ******* view is ******* vile
For ******* miles and ******* miles
The ******* babies ******* cry
The ******* flowers ******* die
The ******* food is ******* muck
The ******* drains are ******* ******
The colour scheme is ******* brown
Everywhere in Tinseltown.
With apologies to JCC and Imindoors.

The recipe after the day before
No-one here likes turkey, so Boxing Day is all about left over Christmas pudding. As a change from fried, fritters or other variations on a theme, today it’s going to be Christmas Bread And Butter Pudding.
Crumbled Christmas pudding, cubes of bread and butter, a little spice, grated rind of a clementine. Dash of rum? Don’t mind if I do – though with yesterday’s flaming brandy hair removal incident in mind, I think I’ll put it in the custard rather than risking flames again.

We’re all pagans today
The game is up. The sun is dying. We’ll never be able to grow crops again. Let’s have a huge piss-up festival in the desperate hope it brings the sun back.
A cliched shot, but I thought I should have a go at some Christmas spirit on the shortest day. I didn’t get the bokeh I was hoping for but that’s how bokeh rolls. One does not simply summon the bokeh. As expected, the Nikkor 18-55 kit lens under performed. I wonder if 2015 holds some higher quality Nikkor glass for me?
