is coming and I'm pretty organised this year - all I've got to do now is wrap the presents for Richard's side of things (ie him and the kids). Got everything else got, wrapped and posted where necessary (that last did involve a 45 minute sojourn in the local store with the Post Office - 5 minutes to work out what packaging to buy for my parcels, 5 minutes to wait in the shop queue to pay for it, 10 minutes to wrap, address and seal it all, then another 25 minutes to wait in the PO queue to post it! (including a quick dash out into the rain half way through to put the windows down for Murphy in the car). And whit a driech day it all was - it poured for 48 hours (you in the west will pooh pooh this as standard but believe me people are looking at boat prices here!) For the first time ever Murphy got one of his weekend walks cut short (and didn't let me forget it either)
oh well, I've got the christmas music on (again), the tree's up and Richard's off on the obligatory trip to B & Q for new tree lights and electric tape. My second attempt at mince pies is in the offing, plus I intend to ice the christmas cake tonight. If I can fit it in between dinner and Wallander on the TV.
PS I've taken pity on Murphy and thrown his hated reindeer antlers out - they were broken. But there's always room for something else instead, Murphy! A Santa hat?
