I seem to have dodged being dragged out delivering cards and presents by cracking on with food prep and wrapping, Mrs luv seems to think I deserve a rest.

I love it when a plan comes together.

So instead of being nice to people I don't care about I'm cracking open a Brew Dog IPA.
 
Just got home. All chores and deliveries done.

Just walked into the kitchen and sliced off some Serrano. Really is a joy have a hooved leg of pig in the kitchen.

Can't decide whether to start drinking or wait and go for a couple in the boozer later. Got king scallops and prawns for dinner later.

Seen some photos on costa Blanca news on Facebook. Some of the flooding looks mental. The village where my family live jalon narrowly avoided being flooded, never seen a drop of water in let alone the torrent that it is.

Got a friend in mojacar he said some villages were evacuated due to landslides.

Love Spain at Christmas as they manage to string it out as they have the three kings or something like that isn't it?

Spurlock's kids now think Santa is Islamaphobic, and are consequently traumatised for life.

I know the Jalon Valley. It's not that far away.

Mojacar I know well too. We used to have a place on one of the golf courses near there.

Tonight is the big family get together and meal here. Tomorrow is more for the religious minded. It tends to be very quiet.

Reyes, or Epiphany, is the 6th of Jan. It's when the presents get dished out, especially for the kids.

Never ceases to amaze me the way people get two or three large trolleys full of **** and the regulatory 20 loaves of bread, 50 pints of milk etc just in case Sainsbury's don't open on Boxing Day! <laugh>

Showered and shaved, beard trimmed and oiled. Knackers and arse clean as a whistle.

Couple of ales in, watching the Ryder Cup, while she finally winds down from the annual manic cleaning spree. All good.

Turkey to enter the oven; T minus 2.5 hours.
