Best - Ray Campi CD. Worst, a Christmas T-shirt with a surfing santa on it. Now that wouldn't have been so bad, but the well meaning friend who bought it, knew that the missus had bought me a blinding Christmas Hawaiian shirt. I don't need two once a year shirts... Still, it's the thought that counts. 0

Also got some vouchers.

DULCE ET DECORUM EST
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots
Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind.
Gas! Gas! Quick, boys! – An ecstasy of fumbling,
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling,
And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime . . .
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
In all my dreams, before my helpless sight,
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.
If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est
Pro patria mori.

My best present was a video call to my 2 kids, which was finally approved after a change in social worker late last week.

Best so far, and pretty much only, is My Turn by Johan Cruyff. Will get most presents tomorrow so hoping for something a bit better then. I think MsAA has got me a ticket for some event in Paris so that will probably top the list.0
