After The Fox Left,

a few magpies called by,


 to pick up any peanuts the fox had missed,

which attracted the attention of one of the young foxes, but he did not chase them away, he took a few steps towards then and then returned to the hedge,

Diana was at home as it was her day off, for myself a walk into town, 

past the fair on Beckenham Green, to the post box and back,

to join the queue at Waitrose, we had forgotten to buy some onions for our Sunday lunch, also some washing powder,

on the way into town I had noticed that the people living in Foxgrove Lodge had put up some Christmas decorations on their fence,

and on the sign, so I took a few photographs on the way back home,

well it would not be Christmas without Rudolph,

time for lunch and a pre-meal sherry,

naturally Christmas candles lit,

for starters a thick vegetable country soup,

for our main course, roast chicken, with gravy for Diana,

without for myself,

'Cheers!',

and one more from myself,

after a long break, time for a sherry trifle, it was now late in the afternoon, so rather than one from the sci-fi box,

 we chose Citizen Kane, what a stunning movie, we both thoroughly enjoyed watching it, then a change, 

 as Diana was looking though discs she picked Ravenous, we had watched the film before, this is what I wrote then, 'set in the early pioneer days of the west, a stranger who has spent three months lost in the mountains arrives at the fort, the stranger, played superbly well by Robert Carlyle steals the show, which descends into murder and cannibalism, as the fort they are staying and the subsequent march has a viper in it's party, also worth a mention is the great atmospheric music that played in the movie, by Damon Albarn (of British band Blur) and Michael Nyman', 

Diana had settled down for the evening, which we finished with one from Midsomer Murder, then for us we were off to bed.
