Mairi and I went to a concert last night at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. She had bought 2 tickets from her friend who was in the Glasgow City Choral Society whose night it was. They were giving us an evening of singing along with the Scottish Opera Orchestra who provided the snazzy instrumental stuff.
It was a good evening if a little long. As is so often the case they feel they have to sing every song in their repertoire!
However at the end of the evening we all sang our different parts to "A Partridge in a Pear Tree" throughout the large auditorium and then pulled Christmas crackers.
Here is one of the Christmas crackers jokes:

The primary class had been told to draw a scene representing the flight into Egypt. One little tot proudly displayed a drawing of a jumbo jet containing the three members of the Holy Family - but also a fourth figure. "When I said 'flight' I didn't quite mean a jet-plane." said the teacher. "I can see Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus, but who is the fourth person on the plane?" ... to which the little one replied ... "That's Pontius Pilot!"* * *
Alastair has taken a shine to this bear who resides in our house to the point of rigging him up with sunglasses. Here is Panda wishing he was either in Egypt or in Teneriffe like our next door neighbours! This elderly couple have got the energy crisis completely sussed: they set the heat on in their house at a comfortable 70 degrees or so therefore no burst pipes - as I am in daily checking - then head off for a week in the sun. No snow, no ice except in their Barcadies.
