So what did Santa bring you in 2025?

[Papyrus]

OK, I'll start the ball rolling this year...

Nothing N gauge (I've already got more than I need at present) so I asked Santa for books this year, and he certainly delivered:



Three I had dropped large hints about, and one (The Library of Lost Maps) that was totally unexpected. That's my reading matter sorted for several months. Plus a decent quantity of 0% beer (I'm currently not allowed the proper stuff) which will also keep me going for a few weeks. Happy bunny.

Cheers,

Chris

Vouchers for my chosen model emporium and then stuff I  didn't want/can't use. My sister is shocking in that respect. Tell her I'm on a diet and she gets me choc covered cookies. Tell her I can't drink alcohol so she gets me strong ales. One present of a litre bottle of Baileys will be heading to a charity as a raffle prize.
It's not that I'm ungrateful but why don't people listen? I might just as well say "get me what you want as you do that anyway "

For me, from me, a new "office" chair

A new TV/monitor which turns out to be trash and is going back tomorrow to be replaced by something from another vendor, and a house.

Well at least we got all the paperwork from the solicitor on christmas eve to check over ready to sign the contracts after everyone sobers up start of new year.

Not for Christmas but for my birthday. Mrs PP bought me a new Warship in maroon livery to go with the two green ones that I already had.

I got a fantastic Zulu mug "Zulus to the South-West. Thousands of 'em!", two funny t-shirts, biscuits.  My wife and I haven't really done presents for many years, as the funds go on the kids, so it's lovely to get a few things.

You'll enjoy the Bill Bryson. Utterly fascinating.
