On Wednesday, the wee wifey and I took the dogs for a lovely walk along the Wey and Arun Canal, making the most of the opportunity before I had a minor foot operation (went very well, thank you for asking...) We had a very nice meal at the canal-side pub but one thing did puzzle me. As I was settling up the bill, coming faintly over the PA were the unmistakeable strains of Bing Crosby singing I'm dreaming of a White Christmas... 

Is it me?

Not far off Xmas now... Xmas cards on sale next week probably - followed by Easter eggs the following week....

If it isn't you, then who is that with your wife?

Part of English history no longer 'celebrated' by the yoof of today.
"Penny for the guy?" isn't it.
Small boys - jumpers for goalposts. Roll the ball through the dog and get your mate to head it, isn't it. Mmm.

Over here a lot of clubs and restaurants have a Christmas in July night cos it's winter and therefore more akin to northern hemisphere weather. Bit silly, I reckon.

May I be first  to wish everyone the compliments of the season.
now which Bond film will be shown on Christmas Day ?

Knowing ITV and Freeview I'd take a guess at all of 'em

anyone know where I can get some Easter eggs, I like to be ahead.

Bah, Humbug!

When I was little you used to be able to find Easter Eggs in the garden on Easter Sunday, but in recent years I've never found any. I guess global warming causes them to melt early.

Mate you just keep settin' 'em up!

Aussies, Christmas in July, where would you like me to start?

Are you a Brit abroad, or a Aussie?
