@tsunimee *Does a thang*
Hrm. _Porridge_? Or yield to the idle thought of starting my annual _Blake’s 7_ DVD fest?
@_pigeons_ Awwww.
@chris_j_hughes Yeah, well, didn’t know we were having a family Christmas until yesterday, so we’re going with the flow/food availability :)
@RamonYouseph Mmmmmmm. Tip: Ashton Fruit Shop on North Street clearly makes their own (mine came in old NescafĂ© jar!) and they’re lovely.
@bexxi Enjoy! Mine are lush ;)
To redeem myself, though, I just made a pretty nice anchovy sauce for tomorrow (we’re having steak for Christmas dinner :) )

Me? Digging into tomorrow’s food supplies a day early? Sorry, I can’t hear your questions over the crunching of pickled onions.
Christmas food shopping done. Now attempting to feed a cat who is more interested in cowering under a bed.
@Bristolvor Good advice! All sorted, mostly from North Street :D
@Bristolvor Ta. Think that’s where we’ll head!
@KaveyF It’ll probably not be very nice by the time I can deliver it…
@KaveyF This will probably be determined by what’s in whatever shops we’re about to hit…
@KaveyF …to be in Istanbul!
@KaveyF Parents here for Christmas as step-grandmum ill (she’s in nursing home just over border in Wales.) They were meant…
So. Just need to unexpectedly pop out and buy Christmas Day food for three. This’ll be fun.

Oooh. A Christmas present from @theindelicates! pic.twitter.com/m30jVevq
