The children have gone off to the grandparent's. In their new scarves.
I'm knitting me one now. I need one- I've got that horrible sore troaty thing they had. It just started on Sunday night. Well I am not without a scarf, but I need a short one I can wear inside while I'm doing stuff, that doesn't dangle into stuff. Joy finished Megs one, too. Not that I'm doing much, just sitting knitting- thats all I feel like doing.
Yesterday I had to get up while hey opened presents. Then I went back to bed till lunchtime. I was grumpy and badly behaved. I made Christmas dinner, with some help from Meg. I made a heart-shaped hazelnut and cranberry roast with apricot and walnut stuffing in the middle, decorated with cranberries. We had crackers and napkins and a tablecloth and candlesticks holly with berries. They reluctantly ate it with the help of the magic sprout stick. They got giddy on a mouthful of cava. We had Chrismas pudding, set on fire with the help of brandy. This was all a bit of a blur and I remember people shouting at me that I hadn't warmed the brandy, but it still worked. We had it with custard. It was all very nice.

Hope you are feeling much better by now (I've started with the sore throaty thing today as well). Happy holidays to you.
