So Christmas approaches and quite frankly with the weather as it is at the moment - very cold and threatening snow - I just want to close the door and stay in and not come out until we go to the airport on the 28th to head off to new York.
Sadly that is not going to be the case as there are things to do of course as part of the festive routine. A final mornings work tomorrow with some role-play. Hopefully not made more problematic by the threatened snow. this time though, London is ready for it we are told so of course it probably wont happen.
Mum is a bit unwell again. same problem as two years ago, feeling tired and doesn't want to get up. So hard to deal with it from down here. She is due her vitamin injection on 2nd January and obviously needs it now but her doctor is away so doctor who is seeing her at the moment insists on blood test etc before letting her halve on. meanwhile each day she doesn't feel like getting up. We have our fingers crossed its not going to spoil her visit down to us starting next Tuesday.
A few last minute presents to buy, and a shopping list to make. mercifully we aren't having Christmas lunch at home and are being wonderfully catered fro in Hammersmith at Janet Ellis' so its just buying snacks and goodies and stuff to fill the fridge for Christmas Eve and Boxing Day fun.
I've just cancelled on going into town to a drinks do. It is so fiendishly cold here today and i went into town this morning for a breakfast meeting and came back around 12 noon utterly frozen through despite having donned my Paddington bear duffle coat. In these mild days we don't seem to get used to real cold days so early and these do seem to be very cold days. Fingers crossed that the snow is pretty but doesn't cripple the city overnight - it doesn't take much!
