I mostly got the usual bits and pieces, but one highly amusing joke present from the Mrs :p



She knows just how much I love that show :p

Did anyone else get anything unexpected or interesting?
 
I got the usual chocolate and shortbread, plus a nice surf t-shirt and board shorts. Not that I will go surfing though!
 
I bought myself some motorcycle stuff for my old bike. I was going to buy it anyway but can pretend it's a Christmas present.
 
I'm starting to dislike Christmas. People refuse to listen to me when I say don't get me stuff I don't want then roll their eyes at me when I don't care for what they get me. I'm an adult for christ sake I'll buy something myself if I want something.
I'd rather just go out on my bike and enjoy the quiet fresh air.
Kids have mountains of "Temu crap" that will just end up behind the sofa or in landfill. It's all a bit rubbish.

Interesting present what you using it for?
Pressing arbors? i have no idea what it is.

Got a spray booth and spare filters, which I will open and test later. We haven't actually opened anything, as our youngsters (both early 20s) are not awake yet.
