PostingChristmas update

Expect to queue for up to an hour on Christmas Eve when picking the turkey up, the butchers warned. "You need a stooge for that job," said another, older woman in the shop, giving me a knowing look. Then she added: "I'm sending my husband." Nice strategy, sure, but what do you do if you are married, as I am, to a vegetarian? He has chosen nut roast for Christmas lunch. Forcing him to wait an hour in the cold to pick up meat for the rest of us does not seem right.

Time he saw the light and started eating proper food. Do I sound unsympathetic? I have little time for veggies, who just make life difficult for the rest of us when we have to cook for them.

I queued up myself, with my sister. Part of local tradition. Reminiscent of Soviet food shortages, but fun as well.
