Been a lovely day. Woke up about 8a.m., came down in dressing gowns, and sat round opening presents from stockings. Breakfast, pork pie, etc., then had to really rush to get ready for Church. Got there in time (but only just), Family Service (Ann read a lesson) then walked home, the long way though town, and spoke to everyone we met, including a couple who'd rented a cottage near the Church to spend Christmas. Very light lunch, quick zizz, Queen's speech (can't remember her making a better one - ever). Then dinner just before 5p.m. Roast beef, roast vegetables, and yorkshire pudding, followed by Christmas pudding flamed with scotch (in my experience - burns better and longer than brandy). Coffee, then down to cellar for quick blog, and to wish everyone of my blog friends as good a Christmas as we're having. As the young character in a Christmas Carol said :-
God Bless us, every one.

Love & Joy, Peace & Plenty to you and all yours (which includes me if that's allowed).
Jude shared her day with Jess, Paul and Lottie; 'fraid I just hadn't got any steam left & stayed home. I picked up a bit as the day progressed but when Jude came back she was suffering from this virus again and went off to bed early looking battered and exhausted. Looks like being a long winter.
Mike and Ann...and Ruth and girls! Nice that you could all be together for Christmas. Sounds like you are busy and enjoying each others company.
I hope Ruth can get your computer working properly...how frustrating it has been.
So when are all of you coming to Skoog Farm for a visit? The door is open!
HURRAY !!!
Great to have you back - miss your blog when it is not available.

Hi Carl. Sorry to hear that neither of you are well. Please give our love to Jude. She really is having a rough time lately, as are you too, of course. You're both of you in our thoughts and prayers.
Much love, Mike, Ann, etc.
Hi Lori. Ruth is working on it (as you will see when youread the blog - it's not just the computer- I, too, am having to be retrained). Today's entries are mostly practice ones.
Cheers, Mike.
