I have spent most of the morning delivering the village Christmas Cards. The weather has been muggy yet dry and I have spied a score of like minded people in coats, scarves and a selection of woolly hats, all clutching small bundles of cards, crisscrossing back and forth , letterbox to letterbox.This afternoon with William in tow I dropped cards to the more "outlying" houses and farms and then treated myself ( and Boris above) to a packet of smokey bacon crisps from the garage shop,which we shared conspiratorially when I got home.
After complaining to this blog last week about my lack of social nights out before Christmas, I seem to be surprisingly busy! Tonight I am calling round to my friend Geoff's for a wine and chat, tomorrow Hazel and I are off to see an Italian film Pranzo di ferragosto (2008) - which has had some fabulous reviews. Friday we are off with the family for a meal and then the pantomime and next week Chris is treating me to the ballet!
I shouldn't have complained....
well aren't you the social butterfly. About the Christmas cards, why are you hand delivering them? why are you not mailing them? I think you said something about it the other day but I don't always comprehend your vocabulary, you use different words for things than we do. :-) I love seeing that darling Boris.

You guys are serious about the Christmas Card exchange, this hardly exists here in Canada. Glad you are having fun, you sure deserve. Awesome picture today, peace
ReplyDeleteI'm totally envious that you've gotten your cards delivered! I'm still trying to get the whole job started! Maybe I'll have them out by New Year's...Last year I ended up sending Valentines Day cards, so I am moving it up a bit! :-) Enjoy your outings! They sound like a lot of fun!
