Had a great Christmas, sneak of to the fish shop and get my muddy today, then wander around freshly trimmed garde

I had roast turkey for Christmas, followed by Vienetta.

Since then, because of the hot weather I've tended to avoid hot food, though I have had a few turkey and avocado quesadillas.

Well not got the mud crab yet,truth is fish co-op has visitor prices about 40 percent up
Will make time for my special day next week
English baked hot food seems wrong to me in this heat, 36 today

Dear Belly,

out for Christmas Eve. To heck with - my cooking
and then having to eat the left overs
for the rest of the week. Much as I love seafood -
Forget the
Lithuanian family traditions. I've had enough.
So much work - year in and year out. I'm going to

Dear Belly,

No, of course it's not all that bad.

I'm just tired.

And probably - come next year, it'll
be back to the same old routine. I'll
be doing the cooking again.
