Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day

Three pleasant days of low-key socialising. I don't know whether it's because I was doing so little of the Christmas cooking this year, or because of the way the days fell across the week, but it all felt very laid-back and matter-of-fact.

There was a little last-minute wrapping to be done on Christmas Eve, but I also managed to do some actual work - and in the evening Gail organised a Christmas Eve supper for those of us who were planning to spend Christmas Day together. It was a last minute decision, and it was very pleasant to set everything else aside, and go out and be entertained. Gail had not attempted the multi-course Christmas Eve Fish Feast which we contemplate periodically, but she had nodded in its direction by serving a huge bowl of fish stew as the main course, which started the Christmas over-eating on the right note.

Christmas Day at Sue's: her traditional "come round for a glass of fizz while the turkey's in the oven" party in the morning, and Christmas dinner in the evening. Since my contribution was the pudding I had made last year, I was able to read my book (Strangers by Carla Banks: work, but I was enjoying it anyway) while Sue tended to her bird, desperance fretted over the vegetables, and durham_rambler slept off the morning's partying. The only disappointment was that Gail didn't feel up to joining us. (Oh, and the pudding was fine: saving it for a year did seem to have improved it, and maybe I'll be organised enough to do that again some time).

We spent the night at Sue's, and came home on Boxing Day morning, dropping off desperance's kitchen equipment on the way - and since the Brighton stores was open, called in for some onions, and ended up buying a couple of quinces as well. Mmm, quinces.

Back home there were presents to be opened and presents to be played with: my new toy is the internet radio durham_rambler gave me, so I can have something interesting to listen to in the kitchen. It's a little temperamental about picking up the network a whole two floors away from the router, but when it works, it's wonderful - I can flick from the standard BBC stations to WUMB to stations broadcasting folk music from Hungary or Brittany. I haven't yet worked out how to use it to time-shift, but I think it should be possible. Meanwhile, if anyone has any station recommendations, I'd love to have them.
