Got an unexpected guest foisted on me for Xmas. Tend to normally just zap meself with Cava and satsumas and wake up on Boxing Day when it's all over. But I guess with a guest I have to provide the little f*cker with some sort of nourishment on Xmas Day. Not going to break the habit of a lifetime...
