Well; the festivities are almost over here! How about a Christmas cracker joke? 
Jack goes for a walk with his mate and takes his poodle.
They pass the pub and he says to his mate, ‘Let’s go in for one.’
‘You can’t,’ says his mate. ‘The sign says no dogs are allowed.’
‘Oh, it’ll be alright,’ says Jack, and they walk in.
When they go inside, the barman says, ‘No dogs allowed in here.’
Jack suddenly looks at the ceiling and says, ‘This is my guide dog.’
The barman says, ‘Oh, come off it. I’d believe it if it was a Labrador.’
Jack continues to look up at the ceiling and says, ‘Oh no! What have they given me?’
Beats ironing! 
How did you all survive the excitement? Of course, you've not had Boxing Day lunch of left-overs yet!
Mine was quite modest, Homestyle pumpkin soup and honey-flavoured potato chips. Incidentally, I notice the average size is now down to 165gm, but the price is the same!
My lite light lunch was more than enough with the temp. at 32C most of the day under a cloudless sky. Ideal for the Test match at the MCG; Tomorrow 34C!
The gate was about 30,000,; normally 100,00, That's what social distancing can do!
Spoke with family and ex-neighbour in Windsor yesterday and they are OK, fortunately. Her daughter-in-law works for United Airlines and has managed a few trips to the USofA and Germany lately, but seems like a mixed blessing to me; nice to be working again for money, but conditions must be very trying.
She must be in her fifties and still employed whereas there used to be a time when "Air stewardesses" were shown out at a certain age!
I watch a bit of Filipino TV News at breakfast time live from Manila, which is very interesting. Apart from the mixed language incorporating much Covid references the camera work is very professional and the live background shots are of interest showing practically everyone wearing a face mask and a plastic face shield.
We haven't come to that yet!
Not much TV to comment on. The Royal Command Variety thing at Blackpool, the Royals probably thankful they weren't there, was terrible. I'd rather watch a YouTube Eric and Ernie's 1987 Christmas special!
The neighbours quizzed me the other evening about a TV series "The Pallises?" concerning the use of certain expressions, expecting me to know the answers. 
.
Must be on YouTube somewhere.
Now you can start cleaning up all the party debris and stick all the empties outside!
Good Health

HMRC slightly angry is an understatement
Sewing on Girl Guide badges, aaargh!!
Welsh Senedd Election - PR in action. This will be interesting!
