Hmm another coffee or a glass of wine?

What did you end up having?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Neither as of yet. I got distracted and started to go through some boxes where I stored some stuff.

If you're still going through boxes pour yourself another glass of wine.

I was actually just seeing what I had in storage.

I’m going to do both. A coffee and a red wine but I’m being out the big guns today with coffee.

Not sure red wine would mix into coffee well but however I had had blends of coffee which have been infused with wine varieties before.

On to A Christmas Carol #7

It's hard to improve on Charles Dickens' dialogue. It's that good and all the shows use it.

"There's more gravy than of grave about you"

Every movie or radio staging chooses their own Carols for titles.

I like radio plays, I have a good imagination and can construct the scenes in my mind.

We listened to the audiobook one Christmas Eve, it's also quite good.

And now for Laurence Olivier as Scrooge, 1953 radio play.

Trying to decide if I want to play Harvestella, Mario Kart, D4, watch a Christmas movie, do a puzzle, a paint by numbers or just continue to pointlessly browse online.

I’m personally doing Quantum Break at the moment but was almost going to pull out Master Detective Archives Code Rain.

Hmm maybe play Harvestella?

Mario wonder here tonight (cheers Mrs B for the Chrissy present!)
