I’ve kept meaning to put another post on this week, but somehow it just hasn’t happened. I have two children at different schools and every day there seems to be something else that I either have to do, attend, contribute or pay for; Class Hamper, Secret Santa, Christingle, Carol Service, Own Clothes Day, Decorations Day, Nativity Play, Create A New Organised Religion Day (Key Stage 1), Release a Turkey into The Wild Morning and my personal favourite, Camel Care for the Under Fives. I also now have choir practices and carol services to go to and I have to make the house habitable in order to be hospitable over the Christmas Season. Can’t wait for the end of term!
This weekend, I am going to marzipan my Christmas Cakes, so look out for a piece on that, which will be closely followed by instruction on how to do a simple but effective Poinsettia design for the icing.
Tonight, it is Alice’s daughter’s birthday and we are all going to see ‘Nativity’ at the pictures. Alice and I usually go to the pub while the children are watching some hideous, badly executed, poorly plotted cartoon, and we had found that cinema attendance had become a very expensive sleep – Alice actually snored during ‘Monsters v. Aliens’. But tonight we are going to ‘sit in’. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Tomorrow, having been lent a set of brushes, I am going to clean my chimney. I’ve been awfully good this year…
