I thought you might like the next instalment of Sally Howe’s Christmas in Plotting for Beginners – following on from yesterday’s post….(so much of her life overlaps with mine)….
Tuesday 23rd December
Richard popped in, apparently just to give me a giant air freshener.
“What’s this for?” I asked.
“I thought it would be nice to put it in your loo—on Christmas Day. I wanted everything to be pleasant for Pippa.
“But why such a giant one?” I asked.
“With all the heavy duty farting that goes on in there I thought you needed something with teeth.”

hi daise
bought tinned meatballs in gravy for dry run of christmas lunch for champman and pesto
tinned meatballs less appetising than pet food
all four cats refused to eat left-overs
on pesto’s instructions had to ask phil down the road where they buy their meatballs as pesto had eaten good ones at their house
they get meatballs from ikea
personally suggested that could maybe have meatballs some other time, perhaps after christmas in conjunction with outing to ikea sale
pesto said—fuck that
personally suggested we should make our own
idea vetoed by champman’s disgusted-of-matlock face
therefore family trek to ikea—
aragosta got up from sickbed to accompany
pesto and champman each had meatballs in ikea restaurant at 4pm (then felt sick but blamed that on tinned lunch)
got polka dot cups and saucers in passing so journey not entirely wasted
now have giant pack of ikea meatballs in freezer compartment
champman may be going off idea as someone has told him meatballs made from kangaroos
- it may have been me
best swedish traditions, love g
