Christmas is over...if you want it. We had a great Christmas this (rather, last) year, and to prove it, here are some obligitory pics of family members opening Xmas gifts on Christmas morning. We stayed at Looby's Mum and Dads in Essex, and were joined by Grandma, Laura and new fiancee Warren...Click on picture to enlarge.

  Yes, I would have quite liked one of those. But then I would have liked a remote control Dalek, and I didn't get one of those either. sigh. Click on picture to enlarge. Warren with helicopter2

  Now then, my annual Christmas treat. On Boxing Day I went out with John and Dave to the football down at Roots Hall. John and Dave do the radio commentary for the Thameside Hospital Radio, and John always gets me in for free into the commentary box. Here's John doing his thing. Click on picture to enlarge.

  Southend 0 MK Dons 0 Unfortunately the game was a bit of a disappointment and Southend could only muster a 0-0 draw with the MK Dons that afternoon. Southend did really well at the opening of the season but seem to be passing through a bit of a mire at present. Click on picture to enlarge.
  Here's a pic of Looby and J which was taken over Xmas. Click on picture to enlarge. Lu and J at Xmas
