Misletoe

I bought a big bunch of mistletoe intending to hang it in various places but then decided I liked it as a huge clump so wobbled up the ladder to put it over the beam. 

Pilates first thing before going slowly round various stopping points to wait for an 11am call that finally came at around 6pm. All looking good! 

I was at home the rest of the day doing a combo of emails, decorating the house, potting up bulbs and clearing in the garden.  

The Waitrose delivery came for tomorrow’s drinks party.  A lovely man delivered it, told me of his love for cooking and of Nigel Slater’s writing.  He says every Christmas season he comes down early and reads a few pages of The Christmas Chronicles by the light of a candle with a cup of tea and a digestive biscuit.  NS would love that! 

V was in London for the day but we managed an evening together with the penultimate Black Doves.
