Or sat in the pub by the Rye ready ... we dashed across the road and caught it at its zenith, I think. Back in the pub now.

Loved Funny Girl, no 1 movie when I was 10, but can't quite decide if it means 2026 will be fab or miserable.

The tree arrived on Friday, but it's taken until today to finish putting up all the decorations. All quite twinkly chez nous now though.

Beached on the sofa, full of dumplings and art: dim sum & the Sainsbury Wing with @southlondongirl.bsky.social. Lovely mystic nativity and a truly hideous St Sebastian.

Once, in the 1980s, I went to the ABC Fulham Road. So did Terence Stamp. God knows what we saw. I spent the entire film watching him watch it. RIP.

Paschal lamb, two tiny legs slow roasted in a low oven for two hours, over sliced potatoes and onions, doused in wine and stock and seasoned with lemon juice, oregano, thyme and garlic. Not bad. Not bad at all.

I have spent today pottering in the garden, which has been the perfect antidote to Everything Else. Please to admire my magnolia.

It's the end of the world as we know it, & while not feeling particularly fine about that going into a cold but sunlit garden certainly heightened the mood.

That this week marked Holocaust Memorial Day is doubtless the reason that Judgement at Nuremberg is showing on BBC2 this afternoon, but it's feeling oddly timely for contemporary reasons, too.

Every news story is ghastly (Gaza, the Covid Inquiry, Suella, no of children living in poverty - I could go on) so here's a pretty Christmas decoration. Clinging to the fairy lights in the darkness seems one of the sanest responses.
