We can all relax, it's officially Christmas for the Holy Family have arrived in the derelict post box. And this year they're illuminated! Just consulting last year, I see they were then too. 
And it's not even Saturday but this envelope gave me a laugh - well done An Post!
A dull and murky day with the odd bit of bright fog. We had a quick chat with Joe at breakfast time - He had crashed at 7.30pm and slept 12 hours and was looking pretty good! He will be receiving Esme on Sunday and the three of them will then head Cork-wards. He'd had a quick chat with Esme who had been to see the dinosaurs at the Natural History Museum in London and was a bit disappointed that the tyrannosaurus rex's teeth were not as big as bananas, which her reference book informs they are. Did she see the right skeleton for I remember it as being colossal.
We have prepared the art area, hung bunting up in their bedroom and jazzied up the fairy walk. We are ready!
