So, Katie's parents were supposed to be flying in to the country this afternoon. Into Heathrow, to be precise. From Frankfurt. Yeah, it didn't happen. They've got a new flight tomorrow evening which will hopefully get them in safe and sound, we'll find out tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
So, instead of entertaining them, instead we decided to get out the sheepskin rugs and place them in front of the fire. We then lit the first fire in our new house and sat by the fireplace, on sheepskins, playing board games and the harp. It was a good evening. The only thing missing was that it wasn't snowing outside, despite the forecast, which would have made it picture perfect, but despite this it was pretty darned good.
We like this house. We're hosting christmas for both our families in less than a week now, and I believe we're nearly ready and prepared for that. Life is good.
Merry christmas/happy solstice/yuletide/good holidays/other which I have failed to mention/delete as appropriate.
