Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeareβs Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Entry for #duvetknowitschristmas from Antarctica: the Wasa station was established in 1989. And it looks like the very soft and high quality bed linen has been there since basically then. Here is my sleeping bunk. Tak Sverige!
An orange sleeping bag has a large yellow Lego head. A large number of soft toys can be seen piled up on a chair. Happy Christmas if you are reading this!
Youngest is staying on his cousin's floor, a large number of usual occupants had to be vacated temporarily. #DuvetKnowItsChristmas @rhodri.biz
TBH I think a duvet would spoil the glorious austerity of this beautiful Christmas scene #DuvetKnowItsChristmas
A single bed with festive duvet wedged under the desk.
The bed from the other end wedged between a bookcase and the wall. The window is covered in black card.
We've banished my brother to the office.
No curtains? No problem. Gaffer tape and black card has done the job.

The Peach Room of Doom awaits, with a bonus clothes dryer, his and hers towels, and after 24 years of marriage the Formica Stool of Chastity guarantees a hankypanky-free night

This year weβve been upgraded to βThe Annexe of Estrangementβ.
Apart from a model shark on the bed and an excess of gym equipment, all is looking good.
But what the hell is going on with the pumpkin summoning charm on the other side of the room? And who needs 5 freezers?

Rather magnificently, my wifeβs nephew Doug is quick off the blocks, superb effort, laundry dryer, bicycle #DuvetKnowItsChristmas
Entering my daughterβs sleeping arrangements for #DuvetKnowItsChristmas this year. We have family over and staying in her room, so she is on a single mattress under her brotherβs bunk bed. She brought the vine lights with her, but the cork board will be handy if she does any festive crime-solving.
And so it begins.
