Christmas Week



Christmas Week
....or should that read Christmas weak?

Sunday – Cleaned the house
Monday – Baked
Tuesday – Shopped
Wednesday – More baking
Thursday (Christmas Eve) – Butchers; peel vegetables; begin cookathon
Friday (Christmas Day) – Check if on Santa’s Good Boys list; finish cookathon; eat dinner; watch the Queen (obligatory in our house if one wants to keep in with partner-who-drinks-tea); moan at how few decent programmes are on TV these days (a national pastime enjoyed by us all); light the log fire; begin reading Christmas presents (well they are book shaped so what else could they be?).
Saturday (Boxing Day) – Food-loving-daughter and Son-in-law-who cooks come for the day.
Sunday – Daughter-who-takes-photos and her partner (Friend-who-loves-Otters) arrive for a couple of days.



Cars tiptoe past on the main road in the early morning light of the sodium lamp.
So today we only have to venture as far as the butchers – a quarter of a mile – which pleases me no end because the last two days of hail have left sheets of frozen hail and ice everywhere. The pavements are treacherous and the side roads almost impassable. There are signs this morning that it may be beginning to thaw but more snow and hail is forecast.

May not get around to blogging tomorrow so I shall wish you all the very best – enjoy your day and if you have to travel in bad weather, take care and may your God go with you.
