It's freezing cold outside which means it's time to share bodily warmth with the dog.

For the discerning fashion icon, who's determined not to get laid at Christmas.

Yes, it's one of those days if I'm drinking out of this cup!

Schlumpf has hurt his back, so Monika took him to physiotherapy today for laser treatment. This meant putting on the funny glasses. This has to be the best photo ever of Schlumpf.

Schlumpf and I both got a haircut today.

Freddie Mercury will be taking up permanent residence on our bedroom wall as a canvas print. He'll be next to Galadriel from Lord of the Rings (Cate Blanchett, not THAT Galadriel.) As well as the Lord of the Rings God, I am also considering putting up the rock and roll God, Bono from U2, on the other side of Freddie. However, that may be where my wife draws the red line.

Lighting a candle in memory of my beloved grandmother who passed away at the age of 96, exactly one year ago today. She may be gone but she is not forgotten. Her passing has left a hole in my heart that will never be healed. I will always feel incomplete. I miss you Gran. xx

I stopped with Christmas cards years ago. It's a massive ripoff in my opinion and postage is not getting any cheaper either. But I saw these Snoopy ones in #ikea with all proceeds going to #unicef . Since I am a charitable person and a sucker for Snoopy, I made an exception.

Schlumpf and I in a business meeting.

Just the dudes hanging out doing....dude stuff. Talking about girls, having a few beers, and having our hand/paw down our pants like Al Bundy.
