Almost Ready
Friday, December 23rd, 2011 05:43 pmI finished work today, all the presents are wrapped, and I'm almost ready for Christmas. The only things left are the little things to do tomorrow or early Sunday, such as sort out where presents need to go for their recipients, and to make some coleslaw. We have plenty of food in, including lots of buffet food (complete with Tex-Mex dips, yay) and lots of salad stuff. Also lots of cheese - I think we have twelve types of cheese including what's in the net of assorted little cheeses I bought on Monday.
I finished work around quarter past three, and I got home to see Mum & Dad looking out the patio window - with Bean! I've been thinking the past few days how much I'm looking forward to seeing her on Christmas Day, it was a nice surprise to see her today too. Bean's latest trick is to do a high-five, apparently something her Dad taught her to do. My sister had gone to Tescos, she said the queues were big but not horrendously so, and it was OK too in Boots and M&S - we're so lucky to have an M&S so close to us :) The roads going to and from work were OK, made a bit more challenging by the constant rain and greyness. No chance of seeing the ISS pass overhead for a while I think, but it's a nice change from the previous two Decembers and their bitterly cold heavy snowfalls.
