That sounds lovely KAtie.
I had my hair cut early then went to the podiatrist. On the way home I called at my favourite little Italian shop.

KAtie, I had a day like you - so many customers, suppliers, friends and other violin makers came in bearing delicious food and treats - I think I will not have to cook or bake anything sweet for days (fortunately, the rest of our staff indulged too, so we "shared the love" with them thus saving me from eating many hundreds of calories!).

That sounds lovely Marina.

Marina and Katie, sounds lovely. I’m exhausted, people coming and going all day. Yes, bringing food gifts. All shared around. Too much excitement and I can’t sleep.

Well very late yesterday we found out Christmas is cancelled!! Oh dear , family member is not good at all . So I have a ham and ice cream plum pudding! It’s was overwhelming but we decided to opt for having Lunch out , just happen to see a very special place had just had an opening for 4 ! So after tons of logistics especially for DD work , I booked , never have not been at home for lunch . Strange and overwhelming. So now I’ve gone into clean mode ! Front door back door bathroom completely top to toe clean ! Washed sheets , aired DD room . Really I haven’t even started wrapping presents. Also it’s cold so fire going . Boys gone to Ballarat to do Christmas shopping , this could mean we all get tools , hehe . Now I best go have a shower wash my hair and start on the present wrapping . Also work out dinner as will be going to those pesky Christmas Eve carols , oh dear I also have to dip DD shortbread in chocolate! Oops .

That’s not good KAtie. It’s a bit like that around here at the moment, but our Christmas will be going ahead.
