Delicious Delectabilities

Well today has been just wonderful.  Lots of happy families onsite, lots of well-behaved and appreciative children, lots of positive feedback and grateful reactions, lots of Christmas cheer and festive fun, and I had my own family there as part of it all! Life, perhaps, cannot get much better than that. Watching something come together that you've been working on for ages and seeing the delight it brings and being there with my own children too... I mean, gosh, what a lovely day to be Rory.

This evening we had a surprisingly lovely pre-Xmas takeaway roast dinner! Neither of us felt like cooking, Mathew wanted to get home to his birthday pressies after being out all day, and we just thought Sod It. Let's treat ourselves and let someone else do the work for a change. And my opinion of ordering food by app has altered somewhat after dipping my toe in the water and trying it. Maybe it's a lesson I can learn about other things in life - don't discard something just because you don't like the idea of it; actually give it a chance to show you its benefits.
So I had a sensational plate of roast gammon with mashed potato (chosen over roasts - how lovely it was to be given the choice!) a large Yorkshire pud, glazed carrots and parsnips, garden peas, broccoli and a very rich gravy. Yummy, and yummy again. And there was some leftover birthday cake to enjoy as a dessert. Again I say - yummy.

And now I get to enjoy the viewing delights of late-season NFL games on Sky Sports. My team may have thrown this year away as if it didn't matter to them, but I can still enjoy the spectacle of top-level sport in which not one single thought is given to the long-term safety of the players.
