“Joyeux Noel”

"Mmmm! sounds very tasty to me, Can I come ?
'No! You f..... can't, this is not a f..... restaurant try booking early for next year or even the year after next..."Many are called, but Few are chosen" ponder deeply upon this my child....
PS: 'a poignant but personal message from 'le chef, to all those that were not chosen, better luck next year, 'life's a lottery......

Yum Dr Who, it all sounds delish.
You said your goodbyes to the chosen one yet, or has Helen kidnapped it and set it free??

Big Malcolm got the chop yesterday........

Is Helen in mourning?

Big Malcolm may have got the chop, but the burning question is ............do you have le gas

Big Mal in the reground & Lenny in the foreground and yes we have 2 new umbuba..

Dateline....2030hrs Thebes.......
Big Mal is prepped on trivet.

Oh! what fun....
'whiskey galore 1949 on the big screen....
and the home made cider, tasty....

Bottling the Xmas Eve 'special Cider for next Xmas Eve.
Cinema smells very pleasant sort of 'hoppy-cidery smell.

Veggies all prepped.
Bread sauce and croutons..done..'easy-peasey...oh! lemon squeezy...
PS: Enough time to pop down to John Lewis' oh! I forgot, must be the sun.

My wonderful next-door executioner Aida, just threw a spanner in the works, she informs me it's her birthday today so, chase round the house searching for the appropriate present, no problems on wrapping paper, sheets of the stuff.
'Big Mal hit's the oven @ 1300hrs so G & T ice-n- slice is in order...

Just in-case you forgot what 'big malcolm looked like he's the one on my left or on your right, basically the one with feathers.......'bon noel.....

'It's the expression on ( name deleted's ) face that I love....peace love & another G & T..

I wanted to light the fires at 4.00 for effect but it seems to be too warm, sorry about that, I used to live in Wimbledon once, and sorry to hear that Elisabeth Beresford creator of 'The Wombles of Wimbledon ' died today, she was inspired by a child’s mispronunciation one Christmas, when Beresford took her children to Wimbledon Common for a Boxing Day stroll. So not so bad dying on Xmas Day. RIP.....

Just to show you how cool am I, and professional, I am uploading this 5 minutes before the starters...were taking the laid back approach to dining....

Very nice!:)

Hope you all have a lovely and thoroughly delicious time:P

Fabulous, hope you enjoyed it all and have an extremely merry evening!!!

Looks lovely... who are you dining with?

V.I.P.s............shush.......
PS: The vip behind the camera just set fire to my balcony, p***head.......

A few too many Stella's eh??

I see he hasn't yet commented!

Like the Labour and Conservative parties, I have an Instant Retraction Mechanism!

Yes, I'd had a fair few, but on putting a new log on the fire, the damn thing tipped over putting embers on the astroturf. Fire extinguisher did not fire, rooftop hosepipe did not work, so heroically, I filled several jugs of water and put the embers out. The good doctor is going to take the fire to the maker and maybe insert it in some orifice!
