Well I'm thinking today looks a lovely day for doing nothing (if only I'd thought of doing nothing before agreeing to sing "Gold" on the karaoke machine last night...) so let's follow Dickie Valentine across the sea. I'm not so bothered about avoiding Christmas but apparently the wind got up to 165mph last night, although thankfully at the other end of the country so it was relatively mild round here. Certainly we missed out on the fireworks. But still, grab your canoe and join me on Christmas Island, even if it requires a bit of imagination it's a delight. (And yes, you lot in the tropics have to pretend to be pretending!)
