It's been fairly cold here -- Shin has taken to sleeping under the radiator to stay warm. What a wuss! 18 degrees (C) is a perfectly reasonable indoor temp!

This happened some time ago, during the Great Gale Of January 2012 -- no damage to the house, other than a couple of dislodged roof tiles. Stupid place for a tree, and it was mostly dead. At least I got one batch of exploding elderflower cordial from it.

Pinebanks -- formerly one of the best company-owned sports grounds in the UK. Carefully manicured bowling greens, tennis courts, football and cricket pitches . . . now, a shadow of its former self, awaiting transformation into "executive homes." Thanks, Aviva.

Norwich Cathedral, two ways. (We actually spent most of the day sitting in a traffic jam on the M25, but this is more picturesque.)
Boxing Day
A bracing walk through Norwich along Riverside to the Ribs of Beef pub. A quick pint and a packet of crisps on the riverbank -- how civilized.

And here's the big cake, iced on Christmas Eve. Minimal, as I am useless at creating decorations free-hand.
