Gluttony

The beard is still there -- along with several helpings of cold turkey, cheese and Parma ham pastries, cold Christmas pudding, mushroom risotto, one pear and three satsumas.  Fruit is good for you of course, but a dietitian did once warn that oranges carry a health penalty if eaten to excess.  Are  three Satsumas excessive?  Possibly not.  On top of the other things consumed today however, it probably doesn't help.  And did I mention the nice Spanish wine we had with dinner, or the kir we had as an aperitif?  Or the dollop of creme fraiche I had with the pud?  No chocolates, no biscuits, no cheese straws -- and we did have a walk before lunch.  However, lunch was home-made roasted sweet pepper and tomato soup with croutons.  Ye gods!  Am I becoming a Christmas glutton?
