      "- We had our company Christmas event this week. It was a much scaled-back affair compared to last year's overnight party at a Cambridgeshire hotel. This year was a quiz and catered lunch in the office kitchen 😐\r\n- Both boys had their school nativity plays, back-to-back on one very long evening sitting on little chairs in the school hall. As usual, the productions were a modernised/disco version of the nativity. C did well as a donkey; H was a dancing squire.\r\n- I had another Friday trip to Paddington for a boozy lunch with old work friends. We worked through a fair amount of red wine, enough that I nodded off on the train home and had to go back a couple of stops.\r\n- On Saturday evening L had her own boozy night with three teacher friends making cocktails at each home on a kind of pub/house crawl. I hid away watching an unconvincing Arsenal comeback to beat Wolves.\r\n- I then took C round the shops with me to buy the last of my Christmas presents on Sunday. My responsibility is to buy for my wife and parents and thankfully (and sensibly) L does the rest. I'm all done.\r\n- Just one working week left for the year."
