Thank you - I did! Was yours OK, as I now know Christmas can be tricky for you?

Jim,

Our faviourite videos on TikTok is DustyDubs - sounds like Jim Carey. By the way one of my avatar on Prime is a Capybara AND I remember Hector's House plus many more weird and wonderful TV programmes.

Thank you also for sharing your perspective about Christmas - we just tried to relax this year after a challenging year.

Finally as a Christian I loved how you put the Christmas message that Jesus was a homeless child who became a refugee.

Take care of yourself.

Healey

Jim, hi, listened earlier, or should I say 1/2 listened as I was working at the time, will come back and re-listen again sometime, although now would be ideal as my work laptop is being upgraded and is unusable at present.

Hector's House. The cat was Zsazsa and the frog was Kiki, originally French, but can understand why you remembered it as Belgian. Somewhere in the basement of our seaside home I have a Hector's House album on BBC Records (my Parsley & The Herb Garden one got pinched, but I won't go into that)

Again good to hear your voice again & interesting to hear of some of your struggles over the years, it's not something I have much experience of except very recently. As always, if you need a chat you know my email. Take care of yourself, now it's that time of the year when I need to hep the Rev'd Mrs celebrate the birth of a certain child refugee of travelling folk. :)

A Hector's House album?! Wow, what a thing ... Thank you for reminding me about Zaza and Kiki. I must re-watch some HH. Wonder what the French originals are like ...

Hope you and Rev Mrs are OK, or as close as you can get to it. Take care of yourselves and each other. I'll email you soon. Happy Christmas!
