My mobile has decided that it can't send texts through the snow, so for now there'll be no photo updates or advent calendar (which I'm sure you were all enjoying immensely). Hopefully normal service will be resumed shortly.
I'll post some photos to Flickr tonight if I have time, and transfer them over.

Swingin' Christmas (sorry it's sideways)
On Nigel's recommendation I bought a Frank and Bing Christmas album from the pound shop. It's the perfect Christmas collection - a few carols, a few catchy numbers, the obligatory rendition of White Christmas and no less than three versions of Jingle Bells. My favourite track is Bing and Ella Fitzgerald's version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer which sees the eponymous hero sporting a green fedora and smoking cigars. A swinging Christmas indeed.

This snowman bleeds
He was very tasty though! Meringue base and chantilly top, filled with sponge and raspberry sauce. I've got the day off so I treated myself to a cake and a cup of earl grey at Maison Blanc after the gym, undoing all the good work but oh well! It was such a treat to sit still for a few hours and people-watch; I was sat next to a big group of French mothers and babies who sounded like they were gossiping for, well, France but my French was too rusty to follow. Curses.

Date night
The Guardian has just opened a new exhibition in its Kings Place lobby, of Daniel Puddles images that have graced the Comment pages over the years. This is my favourite, it's how Mark and I spend most of our evenings these days!

One to watch?
Don't know why but I'm weirdly excited to see Robert Downey Jr's turn as Sherlock Holmes, despite Guy Ritchie at the helm. Maybe it's the waistcoat.

Advent day 6
Matt Groening animation featuring Michael Stipe as a grumpy reindeer - one for the kids but it really is worth a watch, it's much funnier than most of the Christmas pap that gets churned out.
