shewhomustThe mystery of the shortbread has been solved: it was dispatched by the two Great-Nephews. They appear to have decided that they are grewn-up enough to send us presents on their own account just at the point where we had decided that they were old enough not to do Christmas presents any more...
There are several more shiny packages in the sitting room, waiting for us to declare that it's present opening time: just now we are savouring the anticipation.
There was a card in the doormat when we got up this morning - posted, nit hand-delivered. Presimably it arrived yesterday, late. Anyway, it's a good one (made by the sender).
durham_rambler declared that he wanted turkey for his Christmas dinner, and that it didn't have to be a whole one. So we bought a turkey crown from M&S, which will provide ample leftovers for two people. Whole we were in M&S, durham_rambler spotted the pigs in blankets, and declared that these, too, would be very acceptable. So all I have to do is the vegetables, which may be why I have the illusion of time on my hands on Christmas morning - though I think there will be the usual challenge of fitting everything into the oven...
Time to peel some parsnips, I think.
