“… and what have you done:”
Christmas is such a strange time of year. Just after the equinox we, in the northern hemisphere, are looking for signs that the days are lengthening, while those in the southern half of the globe are preparing for autumn. It’s the same every year, but it still makes me think of John Lennon’s song. It’s a mixture of hope and sadness.
We had almost an hour’s worth of Zoom time with Hazy, Jamie, Neil and Simonne (alphabetically arranged – fairest way!). It was great to speak to and see everyone and to find out how everybody was getting on. Zoom is a great way of keeping in touch. I felt a bit down after the call was finished. The house seemed a bit empty, that’s the only way I can put it.
I had some lovely presents from everyone and Scamp’s “12 Days of Christmas” with a small present to open every day is a great idea. We tried not to spend too much on each other this year. In the past we’ve gone overboard, but that’s not what Christmas is about.
After a light lunch the rain that had been torrential for most of the morning just disappeared and left us with blue skies and a bit of sunshine. I made the most of it and took the A7 out for a walk in St Mo’s. I also had a bag of wildbird seed in my pocket and left handfuls here and there along the side of the path. I took a few photos, but one of the first ones I took of the river, that was running down a path through the woods, got PoD.
Dinner was an overcooked steak for me and also overcooked salmon for Scamp. Dessert was individual trifles. I thought they were a delight. However I think I might need some Gaviscon tonight with all the overeating and a bit too much drinking too that I’ve done.
I think that’s enough for tonight. I’m off to bed now, so thank you all for a wonderful day. Thoroughly enjoyed it, hope you did too.
Speak soon.
No plans for tomorrow, but the weather looks like it might be improving.
