Iām in the middle of a very busy snooker and darts league schedule. Then Christmas dinner at our house with kids and partners. This after a Christmas Eve party, always fun recovering in time to cook Christmas dinner. Think all the snooker/dart players are trying to get games out of the way before we have to wear masks again. Boxing Day taking the little racing car out for a meet, weather permitting. Then off boating for a week or two. I love Christmas time š I would like to join a darts team, was thinking about having a nose around when we back to treacle...

I like darts. My favourite sport by miles.
Never play as don't go to pubs but I do like watching old matches on the phone.

One of the children did design a makeshift board for me but no doubles or 180 on it. ![](https://i.ibb.co/0cQdkpk/IMG-20211214-161751.jpg)

I hate Christmas at the best of times and the 1st one on my own in 17 years is not holding much appeal - ergo, I've booked myself into a Hotel in Stoke for 2 nights (xmas eve and xmas day) - returning to the boat on Boxing day lunchtime. My 'hope' is to have a wander into Stoke centre pubs and latch on to some people... any people and have a drunken random eve. Gonna pack myself a picnic hamper with nice things (mainly cheeses) and spend the day itself in and out of the bath drinking copious quantities of booze.
Boxing day night, there is an open mic night at the Bridge in Stone (which I went to last Thursday and met a few people) - so I'm hoping to get the courage up to go back again and interact with folks... time will tell on that one.

Of to her parents Xmas days and then boxing day at home with just us.
Probably some drinking and games involved at some point.

I had considered fornicating with a beautiful multi millionaire 37 year old widow with a Riverside house near Henley for christmas day but have now remembered that I have to change the oil on both engines on the boat and check the gearbox fluids.
One must not forget the important things in life.
Also need to do the oil in the car come to think of it as 16k miles on a 1.2 even for a petrol engine is getting a bit dodgy.

I have spent one xmas alone miles from family, its nothing i would like to repeat again. I spent one Christmas Day driving from Novgorod to Moscow. It felt a bit strange writing 25/12 on the tachograph card at the start of the day. It was just an ordinary working weekday too, a Tuesday as I recall, Russians do Christmas in January. I've never really been into Christmas apart from when the Shit-for-Brains children were at the age to be excited by it, say 3-8, and even then obviously it was vicarious enjoyment rather than anything I personally got knicker-wettingly excited about.

11 years deep sea in the MN got me used to working Christmas and New Year
(in that time there was only one Christmas I got home and that was unexpected, I arrived to find my sister had taken my mother off to the Canaries for Christmas but such is life )
After I left the sea, doing gigs meant that New Years eve was a working day
Will go to my sisters for Christmas day ..... very quiet, just the two of us now.

Working Christmas eve and boxing day so we'll just lounge on the day itself ... Jane's sister may pop round to dine with us.
Very unexciting.

I sincerely hope you both enjoy a better dinner than last time .....
