Turkey prepped, gravy half done, and a new Jamie Oliver peaches and chestnut stuffing ready for the oven. Red cabbage also taken care of, not much to do really tomorrow, need to be careful that I don’t get totally locked so. Una Powell’s soon for 4 or 5 pints with the young lad, happy days. Enjoy it all lads, I’m approaching the start of my final quarter so these occasions are precious. Season’s Greetings to all of TFK’s “community”

Going all out tomorrow. First time we will all sit down and eat together since August, makes occasions like this very very special. Starting with a French onion soup, either traditional or creamy haven’t decided yet, have a very ambitious main planned*, and planning to make a tart Normande for dessert. All of which sounded very doable until the special one announced yesterday she would be heading out to the boyfriend’s house late afternoon, so could we have dinner no later than at 1 if possible (there really is no could in that context).

  • why? you fucking ape

I’d give her a box in the head. What way have you reared her at all?

377

You will discover in time how this works.

Ah stop… Christmas day is Christmas day. I’d be telling her dinner is at 3pm and she can whistle dixie. Family is family…

You’ll be telling her nothing. Around mid teens they do all the telling and you do the listening or at least pretending to listen… or head to the pub.

God no. Your inexperience of daughters is quite twee, that little gurgling bundle of joy in your arms will grow up and twist you around all her little fingers before you know it. That’s only a few years from now btw and it only gets better after that (for her).

Wouldn’t swap her though, nor do anything different, it’s best sometimes to stand back and admire a strong independent woman (and give yourself credit for rearing her of course).

A strong woman… Who doesn’t want to spend Christmas day with her family? You need to punch her straight into nose.

She’d have you maced and on the ground in 5 seconds.

Have you not bought her a gun yet?
