Posh Pat Poses for Pic

It was our present and card swapping breakfast party at the Marriott this morning. I had a swim and a jacuzzi, it was great because we virtually had the pool to ourselves. I only swam thirty lengths, but this is the most I've done for a while. One of my New Year resolutions will be to start swimming a decent number of lengths again.

We only had a tiny budget for the presents, but it was great to see how imaginative people were. Carey bought us all masks and Pat was very happy to model mine for a photo.

I made some rosemary shortbread today to take to Ellen's, it was a taste of sweet and savoury at the same time. We had some mulled wine, freshly made scones and shortbread...a lovely afternoon had by all. Now I have the final of Strictly Come dancing to look forward to. I predict first will be Kimberley, second Denise, third Lewis and fourth Dani.
