The Cheeky Chappie,

was back,

helping himself to the birds peanuts,

 I am amazed at how many he can eat,

 I normally leave three piles of 10 to 20 nuts, 

 the reason being some of the smaller birds seem quiet quarrelsome, so each can have their own part of the window sill, which of course makes no difference to the squirrel as he ate the lot!

 todays bubbly, in the day Diana went to London to meet up with one of her work colleagues, 

Wilma, who was also Filipino, 

 so no prizes for guessing their day started at Jollibee! 

 Diana's favorite fast food,

 and then window shopping,

in the huge Westfield shopping center at Shepherds Bush, and then on to W12, I had a lazy day,

 in the afternoon Diana returned, so time for a sherry,

 and as it is near Christmas, 

 a bottle of bubbly, which put up a fearsome fight, 

 success at last,

 for today's meal roast beef,

 sans gravy for myself,

  'Cheers!',

 for dessert,

 a slice of chocolate log, with butter brandy and a top up of brandy as well,

a final dessert, tonight's advent chocolate and a Sailor Jerry, or three, it was by now late, so one episode of Bottom, titled Culture, and we were off to bed.
