Christmas Come Early

Well no, but here I am pushing the Tat website and all the delights it holds.

Ah, the weekend—a time when the weather does its best to drive us indoors. While others might have hidden under a rock, I found refuge at the Delaunay with my sister on Saturday. Festive as ever, we ordered their hot dogs, each a triumph, and steadied ourselves with cocktails and baked Alaska to keep the gloom at bay.

Sunday began with a morning of work, I rewarded my valiant efforts with an afternoon outing to the cinema to see Conclave. Every second was a joy. The cast, perhaps the finest I’ve seen in years, delivered a performance that lingered long after the credits ran.

Here are a few things to keep you going in the coming weeks.

• First off, the Job Board is still going strong on Tat. Have a look; perhaps 2025 is the time for new pastures!
