Work Christmas party last night. Function room in a bar, free beers and a dance floor that lights up. Good ingredients and a good party.

I walked through what felt like a post-apocalyptic North London this morning. Few people, fewer cars, one van with an old washing machine and another with an unloved fridge as cargo. My train was remarkably empty compared with yesterday. The holidays have begun.

Good morning everyone. How are you? Do you need a bacon roll this morning?
