MERRY CHRISTMAS

Belated Merry Christmas to all !!!!!

Firstly congratulations and commiserations to all those who won and lost today, and to those who drew, a state of mild contentment.

Well yesterday, together with Cam, Issy, and Paulo, and complete with Speedo's (Budgie smugglers) and a strong heart I braved the sea at Exmouth. There was a magnificent turnout on the seafront and I have to say, with true bravado, that it wasn't actually that bad!!
I did however abstain today in favour of watching the madding (or should I say mad) crowd at Sidmouth. They in turn donned Santa Claus outfits, Speedo's, and even Cops and Robbers outfits to brave the elements. It was a great spectacle and although it doesn't beat playing football it certainly gets the blood flowing (Well in some areas more than others!!) to jump into the raging waves.

Christmas dinner itself went without a hitch, it was truly a sight to behold, and after wining and dining for a good seven hours we went for a full ten minute walk to the pub to get a bit of fresh air - it was shut so we quickly marched back and cracked on for another few hours, although exercise did come in the form of some magic dance moves on the old Wii.

A great day was had by all.
