Boxing Day with Jailhouselawyer
During the afternoon of Christmas Eve, Liana and Victors popped into see me with my new electric kettle as a present. The old one finally gave up the ghost just before Xmas.
In the evening Humphrey and Kathleen visited to admire my fairy lights and decorations, have a glass of wine and put my stocking by the tree.
Later on, my new Latvian neighbours next door brought me some Latvian food samples to fare.
Christmas Day about lunch time Rocky and I went over to see Humph and Kathleen as they prepared their veggie meal, and I drank a couple of whiskies.
Then an afternoon drinking session at Liana's house.
In the evening they all came to mine to sample the duck and wine, sat by the coal fire. Rocky enjoyed the duck carcass.
I treated myself to The Best of Hull a double CD set for £5, featuring local artists and some tracks from named stars who have played in Hull recently. And, Kathleen bought me a Bob Dylan Christmas Songs CD. I now have 5 CDs of festive songs.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.

Easily I assent to but I contemplate the list inform should secure more info then it has.
Humphrey actually leaves the beaten path? That really is something.
Belated greetings.
