It’s been one of those days when we went from one enjoyable activity to the next! Brilliant.
Our first bit of enjoyment was to stay in bed for a while this morning, not wanting to get out of snuggly, warm duvets. We were finally up and about by 10 o’clock and ready for action. John’s plan was to entertain Peter, here at our house in front of a blazing open fire, while I went round to Dawn’s for a cuppa and a chat with her, and Alison and Sally.
We both had a lovely time at our respective social gatherings. It’s so good to chew the cud a bit with your mates, isn’t it? And that’s exactly what we did to our hearts’ content. Fabulous.
I was back home by one o’clock, whereupon we had lunch and then chose to doze a bit in front of the TV…… well, I did, anyway! I finally woke up and, in desultory fashion, started to wrap a few gifts, before putting on a festive film. By then, John had fallen asleep, too, but the film sparked him awake and we watched it together, enjoying its saccharin/schmaltzy theme. More ‘Love Actually,’ than ‘Love Actually’ itself…..
We prepped and ate our evening meal before it was time to quiz. We hadn’t quizzed for a couple of weeks for one reason and another – and it was good to be back with dear friends who always make us laugh. See below to see what I mean?
It was a great quiz – which started a bit late, waiting for John to join in, and then finished late because we were debating and chatting so much in between the quiz questions that it prolonged the evening. Eventually, someone called a halt to proceedings, protesting that it was now nearly 11 o’clock and bedtime!
Once again, I thank the Lord for good friends and family. People are what keep us going despite all ills.
Take care everyone. God bless.
Good friends – I’ll drink to that 😀xx
Me, too!
