Just a quickie;


 


I’ve had a great week with my sisters and hope to sit down and write about some of the laughs we’ve had, but that’s going to have to wait a couple more days. It took them a couple of days to settle into the pace of life here, but they’re now thoroughly unwound and relaxed. The highlight for me has been the long warm evenings spent outside working our way through a case of wine and catching up on two years worth of gossip news.


We worked it out that we hadn’t spent a Christmas together for thirty years so yesterday we DID Christmas. We had turkey with all the trimmings, exchanged gifts and even sang along to all the tacky Christmas songs which no doubt confused the neighbours.


Only two days left before we slip back into real life again. I’ll be back then.

You're a genius. Having Christmas in August is brilliant. December is far too busy, what with all that end-of-year stuff, you know, like er, Christmas shopping, and all that. In August you can relax and do it properly.

Can I have a hint or twelve about what the House of Loops might like for holiday gifts?

I don't know about doing it properly but it was fun. Not something I'd be in a rush to do again in 38º, but a good idea at the time.

Dear Santa,
The ear infection you brought for me last year was NOT funny. Pull that gig again and the troll gets it...got it?!

No trolls were harmed in the making of this comment.

I agree with Badaunt - Christmas on any other month is a stroke of genius. Besides, the 25th isn't even the right day! Jusy, August or September has my vote!

Btw, I am sure the trolls appreciate your sensitivity to thier cause. It's been a tough couple of years for them thanks to young Harry Potter.
