Mummy's new boyfriend

Your initial sentence came as a bit of a shock. For one fearful moment I thought you meant that yiu had shacked up with another bird who already had 3 daughters, and I thought “MAD", then I understood.
Ah, the joys of teenage girls, and you’ve got triplets? My estimation of your parenting prowess increases, as does my level of pity. Just wait until they start really dating. Gastric ulcers await.
I like the sound of Denise’s sartorial skills. I bet her “fingertip-excitingly sexy mauve wrap-round miniskirt she wore last time we met, which splits up her thigh as she crosses her legs” feels almost as nice as a bit of freshly sanded Teak
Dating? My daughters aren’t going to date. They’re going to have passionate intellectual “affairs” with clever artistic women several years older than themselves who also disport themselves from time to time with me, in a retro Bloomsbury stylee.
Merry Christmas to you and your hilarious new teenagers. There’s nothing quite as refined as a piercingly cold, sharply acidic amontillado; although if you ever get your hands on a manzanilla you’ll have the perfect material for getting all three of them ready for their debutante Season, in one handy bottle.
I hope you’re still having a cholesterollicking time as I write this comment. We’re off shortly, to what I can only describe as the mainland UK equivalent of what my parents in Spain call the “pensionistas club". Sadly no flamenco dancing here in Cardiff, although we eagerly await some banging tunes from a group of Welsh folkies.
Incidentally, I hope you haven’t been having a white Christmas where you are. Looks like the north Fylde has been getting into a bit of a froth:

Surely such foaming should be confined to the mouth of the Ribble, as the massed ranks of Lytham fulminate against the debauchery they perceive over in Southport.
That’s odd - I thought someone had posted anoter comment mentioning the Fylde phenomenon you describe, and gently correcting the terminology to “spume” and detailing an account of the same type of event from several decades ago. Too much sherry, obviously. I must have read it elsewhere.
Of which, yes, Manzanilla is very good too. I attended a tutored sherry tasting in Kirkby Lonsdale in October, which was do lovely it’s provided me with my first NY resolution: Drink More Sherry.
I like Black Box, stone roses and Prodigy too. But for me Van Morrison’s Astral Weeks is still one of the best albums ever recorded
umm - wasn’t Firestarter a hit in 1996 - which is like 16 years ago Granddad! :-)
N: I intellectually, historically, understand that Astral Weeks is good, but emotionally and physically, Van Morrison doesn’t speak to me, and worse, it’s very irritating, when Kirsty plays it over and over and over again.
F: Crikey was it that long ago? I can only plead that it’s K’s boyfriend’s music, not mine.
