Sue and Pete's Christmas party. All the family attended with the exception of Maria. Sue made some good food. The drink flowed like water, but it was more of a subdued affair. I blame the surfeit of parties, the mountains of food, the shear volume of drink, &c.

The dramatic political situation of recent years has clearly bee too much of a strain on this humble peanut farmer with no previous political experience.
