Christmas 2016

Yes, well, someone had to mention it ... so it may as well be me 

I'm cooking this year ... with one friend coming to share the day with me, & maybe 2 more friends to come

I'll be fine once the dinner is on the table ... & having watered down rose down my neck to take the edge of the stress of cooking Christmas dinner, something I've not done for a few years

My son & future daughter-in-law will be coming over in January for my birthday & we will make a fuss of things then 

What are your plans for Christmas & New Year ?

You have to pay taxes on your own??

It's the commune tax due on my house in France.
Tax foncier and habitation.

Well ... I've picked up the turkey this morning & after asking the pleasant young lady serving me, I now know how to cook a butterfly joint

I have been given a large present *no peeking* from the owners of Emi's Tea Rooms where I am frequently to be found + a large card with a 'Bambi' & robin on in a Winter Wonderland 

The ordered packets of breadbuns have been picked up too sooo I reckon I'm good to go when the 25th comes

Oh & Prancer the dvd has been delivered very quickly so I've something to look forward to viewing settled on the sofa with the cat, feet up on the coffee table
