things i experienced for the first time this christmas: • played scrabble; fun but i can only make 3 or 4 letter words... • ate pigs in a blanket; tasty! • got a stocking; what a wonderful surprise to wake up to find a stocking!
this week i did a lot of making for christmas gifts and cards. evenings with tea and biscuits with good friends. yesterday i went round debbie and rosie's house and we made christmas crackers. but i was not so good at wrapping them so i did some decorating while debbie skillfully did the rolling and wrapping. we had mince pie and nice smelling herbal teas.
this morning i woke up with a fever and lot of noise everyone trying to get to places in time. i heard my phone get a message, but when i checked there were no new messages. i lay in bed confused. later i watched garden programs day dreaming.
