St Stephen's

Am hobbling now as hurt knee in mammoth run yesterday. Popping anti-inflammatories now and doing chores. Have this project of embroidering MY socks with MY initials. As I have middle sized feet everyone can squeeze into them. I'm sure Teraza does too!

The fish and chips were good, but not as good either as my mum's or the fish shop in Blackheath. The batter did not entirely work. I used Maris Piper. Was that a mistake, I wonder.

Christmas day ended well. It was too late to watch a whole film, and I was too tired, so I watched the casino scene, of Casino Royale - supposedly set in Montenegro - but in reality filmed in Karlovy Vary and admired Daniel Craig's musculature. Then I opened my presents and the fact that they were few was rather nice. Honey from my secretary - oh God what shall I get her? - Some nicely chosen books from my Belgian friend, and posh, posh scent from Laurence. And Timothy gave me the sex and the city DVD, which was kind.

And early to bed, in the library, with Delia wheezing away on the chair next to me.
