Wednesday, 12th December 2007 On Monday, Wife and I went to Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir Aux Quat’ Saisons. It was magnificent: a really unforgettable night. It was a work commitment, so Nice Account Guy, Fearless Leader, Exhausted Creative Director and No Bullshit Legendary P.A. were all there, along with three or four clients – and [...]

Saturday, 15th December 2007 I am VERY pleased with The Radio Times, because they have recognised and named their Christmas edition with appropriate excitement and reverence as the Legendary Christmas Issue. How right they are. Since time immemorial, I have viewed the appearance of the two week Christmas/New Year issue as the first sign that [...]

Saturday, 15th December 2007 Great Friend in PR and Bearded Decorator are coming for Christmas and we’re VERY excited. They seem to think that they’re only here for a couple of days – but that is NOT our plan: the menus alone mean that we’re going to need them for four – five weeks… Charming [...]

There was some discussion with the children on whether or not it might not be better to decorate it with loo paper and the velour, multi-coloured ducks that [...]

Good Friend in PR and his boyfriend arrived on Christmas Eve, and were perfect guests: happy to be left alone while Wife and I got stuff ready, happy to play with the children, and (of course) funny and great company. Apart from a Carol Service that combined [...]

Saturday, 29th December 2007 I LOVE TV: especially anything American, ideally “Hogan Knows Best” or anything else produced by MTV. And NOW, I shall be able to admire and worship at the cathode altar in pin-sharp, digital crikeyvision thanks to Wife’s most EXCELLENT Christmas present to me of a brand new flat screen television. It [...]
