This morning Tina suggested we went for breakfast at Sainsbury's as she has caught a cold from Darren and was out of medication! We did a bit of shopping as well, mostly sensible but I did buy one completely unnecessary and somewhat frivolous item, a Christmas pudding that spins to Jingle bell Rock!

Very silly, haven't tested it on Blue yet, Colonel completely ignored it! I got Tina to drop me off at the studio, saw Sandy and gave her the update on the ankle situation. I have paid for a large elf ornament which I will probably paint in the new year and give it to someone next Christmas. I walked into town from there, had a few bits to get and then caught a but home. Watched a Doctor Blake but have spent a lot of the afternoon decorating the cakes. The coated holly leaves didn't work, but I had made other decorations. Used some ready mixed tubes to do the writing.

One of course is icing free and apart from the writing has marzipan decoration only.

Having a preview look won't tell you what it tastes like Mike! I managed without the stick when walking around this morning but the standing this afternoon has made the knee ache, so not planning to do much more this evening. Just one more picture, Darren and Tina brought back these towels and lavender bag for me from Portugal. They are hand embroidered locally and I will keep them until we move I think as they are lovely.
