Boxing Day

I hope you had a happy Christmas. I did. I got some great stuff.

• the latest Anthony Horowitz 'Alex Rider' novel - I am a big fan
• a map of the world you can colour in
• a music box in the shape of Moscow's St Basil's cathedral, as featured in my book Dead Ball
• socks
• a book of short stories by Roald Dahl about being a fighter pilot
• and lots more

But it's not about getting presents, is it? The best thing was being with my wife and daughter. I love it when my daughter calls out first thing in the morning. 'He's been!'

I got them tickets to see Strictly Come Dancing Live in Manchester. That made them happy.

And Leeds won today. 3-1. So that made me happy.
