Hoping you have had a happy Christmas

Darren and I went to the late service last night, not a large congregation but a lovely service nonetheless. Tina had been taking several services during the day including at a care home and carols in the memorial garden. This morning Pandora sat by the mini Christmas tree, it was dark but she looked cute there.

Tina was given flowers for her birthday at the first service this morning so I got them into the purple jug, very pretty.

Tina was at church, Darren was busy and I had no dinner to get so I went out to do a bit of tidying in the garden for a bit. There was a cart full of rubbish that I took up to the garden bin and noticed the fungi on a tree stump.

The little tomato greenhouse has torn and broken and now tipped over, so quite a mess in the corner of the walled garden.

Pandora was out keeping an eye on proceedings.

Didn’t spend too long outside but it is a bit tidier now.

We opened presents before dinner, I had some nice bits but particularly like this set of 10p coins, quite difficult to photograph, but quite stunning.

Tina had just ordered two of the delivered Christmas dinners this year and that made just the right sized dinners for the three of us.

A brief catch up with the American branch of the family and quite a bit of tv this afternoon.

I won’t be too late to bed as the hand is still giving me trouble at night and I am getting tired. May have to start taking daytime naps to compensate!
