Christmas is coming to a place near you

It's the 24th of December. My alarm clock rang 5.25 this morning, because I had promised to drive P, who lives upstairs, to the airport. P was flying home to her parents in Prague, where she is going to spend her Christmas.
After the airport I thought I would do a bit of the last shopping in the big 24 hour Tesco in Corstorphine. For some strange reason I wasn't the only one there at 6 in the morning, and it was one of the strangest shopping experiences ever.
Tonight's menu: Pork loin with rosemary and garlic, braised red cabbage, sugar-browned potatoes and pepper sauce, and Ris a la Mande for dessert.
