We invited Chris and Pete & Jo, Janet and Carol over for a pre-Christmas get-together and lunch today. Lee joined us too – a ‘full-on’ pre-Christmas stuffing awaited us! Ann had worked hard in the kitchen on Saturday preparing it all – creating a choice of two starters, roast chicken for mains and two desserts. – I think the last time I saw this much food was when I worked at Sainsbury’s – in the depot!!
With the meal over, we were all totally stuffed… but very contented! Perfect then!!
It was great to catch-up with everyone, but after our late-night at T and J’s on Saturday, I was amazed Ann and I lasted as long as we did! Lee took control of the kitchen debris, and we all mucked-in with the last few bits of washing-up.
I love Christmas – and it’s only the 8th!
PS Note to self: add two more holes to belt in preparation for the 25th and beyond

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
