Hello,
Seasonal Greetings! Some lovely people sent me cards and I do do do appreciate it and loved them and Thank you! Thank You! There are (yet again) written cards sitting on my side, that never quite made it to the post office. I am quite rubbish in many regards.
I hope those who do Christmas had a good one? Mine was incredibly quiet (and utterly unfestive) - I stopped with Mum, who was entirely anti Christmas this year and well, presents were about the only acknowledgement of the day there was - we had breakfast, returned to my house to visit and feed my cats, then went for a drive. We had crackers and cheese for lunch. Presents came at around 3pm and later we had baked pots and chicken for tea. It was - it was a pleasant day in itself, lazy and relaxed. What it wasn't, was *Christmas* and that's left me feeling rather flat and sad.
Conversely, my birthday (the day before) was lovely. I had breakfast with one friend, returned home and promptly went out with another friend for lunch. I got back from that at 4.30, and by 5 was at Mum's meeting with another friend and her family. They left and my brother and sister in law arrived. Whilst they were there friend arrived and she stayed for the rest of the evening. It was non stop loveliness, seeing friends and family and for that I'm mightily grateful.
And now it's Monday and it's a day off from work and it's Sunny and... I'm sitting in in my pjs, with a massive fluffy dressing gown, a hot water and (in a minute) I'm returning to my book. Small pleasures.
