Nanna, Grandad, Uncle Pand, Katy Paul and Dawn went out to the Wolds Village at Bainton for their Christmas lunch leaving poor old Dougal behind.

HO HO HO BONE

Look what I got for Xmas. A big red Ho Ho Ho bone !!

AVATAR, THE BOX & LAW ABIDING CITIZEN

Avatar is the big Xmas movie and it certainly lives up to expectations. The story centres on a paraplegic marine despatched to the planet Pandora on a unique mission. He becomes torn between following his orders and protecting the world he feels is his home. An oscar possibility and rated 9/10
The Box : A small wooden box arrives on the doorstep of a married couple, who know that opening it and pushing a button will grant them a million dollars and kill someone they dont know. Watchable and rated 6.5/10

Law Abiding Citizen : A frustrated man decides to take justice into his own hands after a plea bargain sets one of his family's killers free. He targets not only the killer but also the District Attorney and others involved in the deal. 18 certificate. Good film. Plenty of action and rated 7.5/10

A SNOWY SATURDAY

A lot of snow has fallen in the Driffield area over the past few days but I like the snow. I jump about and play in it like a spring lamb !! Shame a lot of others don't ! Grandad spent this morning cleaning part of our drive and the cars but seemed to be fighting a losing battle. I managed to see a ginger cat walking down the road so I gave chase for a minute or so. Fun comes in small doses. I finally got a reasonable walk this afternoon. Nanna has been at Santa's Grotto. Grandad was playing Father Xmas yesterday. Tuesday and Wednesday will see an end to the Grotto this year. Then its Xmas.

HUMPTY DUMPTY

An early visit this year to see York's traditional pantomime. An excellent and very colourful show. If one is super critical it wasn't quite as good as last years Dick Turpin which was superb. However, Berwick Kaler sets such a high standard it is always going to be difficult to get better and better. No complaints though, everyone enjoyed it so here's to next year's already !!

CHARITY STALL

Nanna helping on the Marie Curie Cancer Care stall in Driffield Market yesterday which ran all day through to late night shopping. The stall raised £264 for the charity.
