At the bicycle racks

Christmas Eve and the visitors arrived. The SK had been busying herself making meals - mainly veggie soups for their stay, but at the last moment added a teaspoon of “Thai paste" into the sweetcorn chowder. Oh dear: includes shrimp paste (2%).  Well, I enjoyed it. The kids had to settle for the bean soup. What is it now, I asked the SK on several occasions and each time caught her out. Yes, if it’s bean soup…. oh what a wiseacre I am.
The lad and I went out for stroll around the neighbourhood before the weather closed in, but by 11pm the stars were out and we strolled up to the watchnight service at Wardie Church arm in arm. Funny that an evening carol service almost feels like a guilty pleasure these days - it was as delightful as ever. Merry Christmas!
