Sun.25th.Dec.
Happy Christmas to all our readers. Janet was very good this morning. Usually she has me awake at 6am on Christmas Day, today she managed to suppress her excitement until 6.55am. We had some tea and biscuits with the promise of a full English later. We exchanged gifts around 9am and she surprised me with a new jumper. I gave her some expensive shower stuff and moisturiser, etc. Then took her to shower to help her familiarise herself with it. Smells delicious. Poor Jan is still fighting off a cold and didn't feel so good. Coffee and breakfast helped to get her ready for a walk. The weather was fair with warm sunshine but cool wind. We walked to the end of the road and scrumped some lemons for honey and lemon cold cure. We sat outside in the sun for a while then realised that Anthony was trying to Skype. Had good session with Ant and family, Derek promised to drink some light and bitters for me down the pub. What a nice man, promised not to get me drunk!! We were disappointed not to Skype with Karel, Pete and Mum in Australia. Must try again tomorrow. Got Julie and family though, the girls have got laptops for Christmas and are now Skype candidates. Geerd and Maria joined us for a drink this afternoon, we talked and decided how best to put the world to rights. Good company. Have had a few problems with the fridge. Poor Jan lost a whole carton of Butter Pecan ice cream yesterday and the meat in the freezer defrosted. Had a clean out today and saved most of the meat, had to cook it tonight and will eat it cold over the next few days. Dinner was fillet steak, I did it on the barbecue and it was fabulous, melted in mouth. Fridge seems to be working now, strange how the gremlins get in the works. All in all, a good day. Time for one more whisky before bed. €1.99 panetone was delicious, enormous, need help with it.
