James wobbled off to work--he had no temp, only a sore throat--fortified with tea, a turkey sandwich, and some snacks--and I wandered into the spare room to sit with Bandit and watch The Christmas That Almost Wasn't. This is a thoroughly silly film, suitable for playing if you feel as if you're going to doze off, although I didn't. Rossano Brazzi plays a comic-opera villain called Phineas T. Prune, who hates Christmas and children, the sets are European gingerbread, and Paul Tripp spreads holiday cheer simply with his smile.
While the movie ran, Bandit told me a long budgie story (he lives a very full life).
