Years ago, Christmas Eve was completely exhausting. Now I even have time to write rubbish doggerel (if that's not tautology, and even if it is.)
Inspired by pastille.....
Riddle
My first is in Clueless but not Peer Review
My second's in emrach and aristo, too
(with a bit of extension)
My third is in bullfrog and rambler as well
My fourth is in ixion as you can tell.
My fifth's in chrise and also chrisg
My sixth's in pastille but not in ab
(now there's a surprise!)
My seventh's not in Les40 but is in mamya
My eighth is in rambler, jazzgirl (and car!)
Syzygy holds my ninth along with Bob's Mum
My whole is a time of family and fun.
(never forgeting those for whom this isn't true, and with apologies to those I've left out. Bigbadmarty doesn't really scan, sorry!)
A couple of years ago I decorated my Christmas cake in the style of Jackson Pollock. It was great fun and different. If any of you need a last minute idea, feel free. I no longer make Christmas cakes, sadly.
