Merry Christmas to all. apologies for my tardiness in not blogging for the last few days. This is partly due to Christmas (good excuse) and the fact that I went down with tonsilitis Boxing day evening and only just emerged (probably not that good an excuse).
Great Christmas with the children. Went to a crib service Christmas eve at All Saint's Kingston. Lots of young angels, Shepherds and Kings. Sang midnight mass that evening and then got to bed eventually at about 2. Santa works fast as there was no sign of him, even at that time of night.
Chidren were up at about 7.15. I probably woke them attempting to stuff a turkey; never the greatest job in life. 9.30 we were all back at All Saint's for Christmas morning mass and what a beautiful sunny, but chilly, morning it was.
Christmas day was with parents and in laws in Berrylands. Long lunch, attempt to listen to the Queen and then even more vain attempt at a snooze.
Boxing day at my parents with brothers and nieces (2 of ) and my four children. Started to deteriorate that evening and by Monday morning felt like death with swollen tonsils. Collapsed and spent two days on sofas/bed watching classic black and white movies including some great Pink Panther films!!
On the mend now and preparing for New Year.
Will write shortly on the Asian disaster. An area I know well at the front of the troubles there but difficult to find out details. More later........
Heard today of a dreadful accident on Christmas Day when a driver wrapped themselves around these silly new traffic calming measures the Council has installed in King Charles Road. Think a combination of traffic calming and blindingly low winter Sun were a dangerous mix. What a way for them to spend Christmas Day; dragged from their car wreck with blood all over!
