I am cheerful though that tomorrow we will meet our daughter in town to see the Oxford and Regent Street lights and listen to some carols round the tree in Trafalgar Square and I expect some drinking and eating will be involved.

Sounds wonderful.  Has it been very cold in England this month?

The day was changed to Saturday and we had a lovely time, without being rained on. We had a meal in The Crypt of St Martin in the Field after watching a flashmob of hundreds of Father Christmases in Trafalgar Square; I don't know why they were there; probably for charity. It really is mild down here, but the flooding in Cumbria has been really bad and will take years to repair.

E-M, I trust you used the toilet in St Martins, thus fulfilling the ancient prophecy: She crept into the crypt, crapped and crept out again.

Woah I'm out of the loop. Why would Adam need a new partner?

The show's ending after this season, but that's all I'd heard. Tank, you're saying Jamie's the one who decided to quit? The problem is that I believe it's also his production company.

No, M5 is James Hyneman's workshop. The show itself is produced by Beyond Television for Discovery. Adam Savage works for Hyneman at M5, but there is nothing stopping him from going off with Beyond to make more stuff as long as he either quits or gets leave from M5.

I heard that Jamie wanted to retire.
