Merry Christmas

The hooves were heard along the road as one by one they ran to the bathroom! By 9am, Christmas was abandoned.

But fear not for we quickly cobbled together enough food to enjoy here, alone, just us two, as never before.

We talked to the oldies. We talked to the girl who is facing confit duck from a tin for dinner. It could be delicious or it could cause some dramatic effects due to its age. Let's hope it's delicious.

We talked with the boy, his day was nearly over, and he is back at work 8am tomorrow, so no late night for him. His excitement at coming home is mounting, and the visa deadline looms at the end of January.

Our dinner was delicious, but we need a rest now and maybe a snooze.

As I sit through one of the most disastrous Christmases I appreciate that our issues are insignificant to those faced by many today. I hope you have been able to feel some small piece of joy today. Merry Christmas.
