December - and already six days into it! Cards are in the post box, Christmas crackers, chocolates (too many), Stollen, Lebkuchen, Ghluewein, Prosecco, Special Mince Pies, Cake marzipanned ready, Christmas pudding all ready and waiting. We still have to think about the meat! What are you all having? Countdown: I have to ice the cake, make mince pies nearer the time ... and shop. Oh, and wrap presents when I have them all.
Next is the tree that wants putting up but we have a little shopping trip first today as I want a new chair, yes, left it to the last minute but motivation has been elsewhere (like making cards). I saw the consultant Monday and I am booked in for the 15th January but if he can do it sooner he will. Ooer! But it might be at any hospital in the Manchester area. So I am permanently attached to my cellphone.
I did have to make some last minute cards as I was short in the end but this year I have not sent one commercial card. No wonder I had to make an appointment today with the Musculoskeletal Practitioner at the surgery for an injection in my thumb. Sound like a walking disaster don't I? Roll on a week on Saturday for the thumb.
Here are some of my Christmas cards
