Good programme: Happy Valley (TVNZ+) was the last programme I really enjoyed.

Llew Summers, the sculptor, wandered along the beach around dusk, and we got talking with him and shared our dinner; he shared his bottle of whisky.
Good feed: French bread with cream cheese – mixed with gherkins, capers, lemon juice and horseradish – and smoked trout. Smoking trout on Christmas morning is a tradition.
