CHRISTMAS EVE – THAT GREAT BRITISH TRADITION; A CLIFF TOP WALK IN THE RAIN FOLLOWED BY MULLED WINE AND LUNCH AT THE BEACH HUT.
THE OTHER GREAT CHRISTMAS EVE TRADITION IS THE MORNING PHONE CALL… WHICH STARTS WITH ‘BAD NEWS..’ AMIDST ALL THE COVID TESTING, BOOSTING AND WAITING TO BE TRICKED BY THE PM INTO A LAST MINUTE LOCKDOWN, THERE ARE OTHER WINTER LURGIES LURKING. NOW WE ARE DEFERRING CHRISTMAS FOR A FEW DAYS UNTIL TEAM H HAVE NEGATIVE PCR RESULTS AND FEEL BETTER.
IT’S STILL RAINING BUT WE’VE HAD A GOOD DAY, GOOD LUNCH, FACETIMED, WATCHED ‘ARTHUR CHRISTMAS’ AND EVERYBODY GOT MORE LEGO…
I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A PLEASANT DAY WHATEVER YOU PLANNED OR HAD TO REARRANGE…

We had a good Zoom Christmas with our daughter and son-in-law. Now we’re going to watch Mr. Bean’s Christmas. We need some silly.

Mr. Bean stumbling around his apartment with a giant turkey on his head definitely qualifies as silly!

Lego flowers? I never knew.
Raining here too, and dark all morning.
Hope you manage to have a good time once everybody tests negative.
Best wishes, Pete.

Thanks Pete. There is nothing you cannot make with Lego! My box says 18 plus… My daughter-in-law collects Harry Potter Lego.

Looking forward to that! My daughter and family put together a Lego bonsai at one point. Somehow it got stepped on and no one wanted to put it back together again, evidently. So I never got to see it:(

Janet, I enjoyed your cheeky elf photos and the Robin at the end is serene and puffed up with pride! I hope you all managed to meet for a later celebration once all were cleared by the tests. Christmas Eve is our celebration afternoon and evening. For the second time held at my home and blessed that my son and his girlfriend could visit for some days … a most special occasion … rather quiet after they’d left though!

Not much planning was involved but we came at the other end unscathed, so that’s good enough for me. Love the Lego! Thanks, Janet.
