Hello, I'm back home now. Lunch was good. We had backed potatoes, and Rich made some random sauce out of port mushrooms cheddar and cornflour, which I declined. Tim said it wasn't too bad though.

Played some car racing game on their playstation 2. I was worryingly good at it. All these years of tail sliding the BMW and experiencing understeer with the Cavalier under hard braking have obviously paid off. Just joshin' with ya. One of the reasons I kept winning was I was driving an Audi RS6 and Tim was in a Ford Ka. He is the champion of the underdog when it comes to cars. And music.

Went round to Russ' house with Tim very briefly. They've got a new car. They had an E reg Renault 21, but have just got a 53 reg Citroen C5. Just the job to lose you £10k in the first year! They like it, and Russ likes the button to make the suspension go up and down, and the fact the doormirrors fold in when you lock it. Just get a Cavalier.

My Gran has arrived. It's Christmas. I'm off to be sociable. Don't let the bells out, bye for now.
