Tales From The Crypt - Boxing Day (Sunday 26th December 2021)

A much more chilled start to Boxing Day, though there's still a shit-ton of stuff to do I'm taking it easy with a coffee and a croissant with marmalade, heated up by son #3.  Based on his info on the time his bros went to bed, I've revised my dinner plans to eat later.

Once cooking and lunch preparations are underway, with the help of everyone, I find that there's enough turkey left for another two meals, so it looks like will be having a pie tomorrow, followed by a curry on Tuesday. 

Dinner was great, though very filling, especially with the addition of a dessert today, but I managed to eat it all.  Pfig! 

I am gradually watching Peter Jackson's Beatles documentary on Disney+, over 8 hours split into three parts.  The film quality is incredible and it is an amazing insight into the band's compositional methods and, not only that, their friendship and ease of working together.  Despite not being a huge Beatles fan, this documentary has been fascinating, so far.

After dinner a return to games: 'Exploding Kittens'; 'Muffin Time', and 'Jackbox'.

Some time later in the evening we decided to eat a snack before watching the ghost story, 'The Mezzotint', which we'd recorded on Christmas Eve.

'The Mezzotint' was based on an M.R. James story, he being one of the best, if not the best, ghost story writers.  The adaptation, by Mark Gatiss (who else?), had an excellent build up of tension until the conclusion - so much packed into thirty minutes. 

The usual end to my day!

Yellow Magic Orchestra /  'Day Tripper' / 'Solid State Survivor'
