christmas 2011 was a beautiful three days despite my shoulder still not functioning and therefore most work done by deac and rike, and me just fussing around the edges. as always we opened some (but not all) christmas presents on christmas eve (so does the royal family, we've been told - ha!) and were just overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things. for rike's list just check her facebook, i got books to keep me busy for months, and little deac sits around the house now in a rather majestic yukata and read and reads and reads...the cats got an extra portion of tuna and the horse an apple-veggi-string that disappeared in seconds. so all very happy and content, with a very nice midnight service in southwark cathedral with the added extra of doorkins magnificat, the church cat, making a stately appearance, much to our joy right in front of us in the middle of the prayers. as all good cats he is so famous that he features on several internet pages, check him out here:
christmas day was filled with more presents to open, a visit to the horse (of course!) and a delicious dinner that deac prepared while we were out: coq au vin (le vrai coq au vin, that is) and boy did we like it. boxing day the kramers came around and we had a great time, relaxed and easy, as always, with so much more food that i swore i would not eat for days.
