You fixed it?! And here I was, thinking you were being witty about their surveillance! Your reputation precedes you, and now you're getting too much credit!

I'm too honest for my own good, some times! 
Herself still ribs me over a shopping trip where the girl gave me the cheque back with the receipt - and I gave it back to her.

Ha! I remember one time, my wife and I attended a charity event, $5 each, I handed the ticket lady a $20. She reached into the $10 compartment of the cash drawer, but a $20 was there (probably mine) and she just handed it to me without looking...
Being a charity event, I felt honesty was a reasonable policy, and I just continued to hold it in front of her until she realized what had happened and corrected it.
(My wife has been too much of a rehabilitating influence on me.  )

Don't forget all the Die Hard movies. A must for Christmas.
A 2020 film to avoid: "I'm thinking of Ending Things" Bleak, slow moving, too long and, when you eventually get to the end, (if you manage to stick it out), you are left thinking: Wha! What was that about? Completely pointless.
Still hoping to see: "JoJo Rabbit", "The Invisible Man" and "Motherless Brooklyn" (which is an excellent book).

There are few movies I've (deliberately) seen more than once:
Easy Rider
Blazing Saddles
Apocalypse Now
For those of you who aren't prudish (and have seen the original inspirations for it), "Flesh Gordon" is hysterical.

I saw The Hunt last night and I thought it was hilarious. It made the reactions I have read to it even more hysterical. It is a biting satire of conspiracy theories.

I've just finished making the Lemon Curd to go with the Christmas Pudding, about to start on the sausage rolls for lunch today and Xmas Day supper ... and my neighbour turns up with a plate of hot mince pies she just finished baking!
Yum. I may put on a few kilo this festive season at this rate ...

Going to my Wife's nephew's house tomorrow.
Her family always makes enough wonderful food to feed an army!
I am gaining a pound just thinking about it.

It always sounds nice when you describe food. Post a pic of the full table this afternoon

Have a nice afternoon and bon appetit.

I can't - the Lemon Curd is cooked, and cooling - it needs to go into the fridge for about 8 to 10 hours to "set" properly (and most of it will probably be vac packed for the freezer anyway!)
Half the sausage rolls we had for lunch today, the other half are for Christmas night, traditionally cheese, biscuits, and cold meat in the house (because I'm sick and tired of cooking for the day by then).
Some of the Covid Kilos I have regained - but I'm still about 3Kg lower than before I caught it. I'd kinda like to stay there, or maybe a little lower as it puts my BMI smack in the middle of the "good zone".

Rindrouladen with german spätzle, in my case without the "rot-Kohl" but with butter-veggies.

I plan on taking the "NY State Approved Driver Safety Training Course", a six-hour online adventure. However, it will lower my car insurance rates for three years (several hundred dollars).
With coffee.
