A great week all round what with cat rescuing and Christmas parties. Tilly is Mother’s new charge, she was going to be homeless last weekend as the family she lived with were moving to a place which wouldn’t take cats. Had a sudden flash of inspiration and called Mother who said she’d have her, and now she’s firmly ensconced. Much to Woggles’ (malevolent incumbant) chagrin.
Jane and Ian’s Christmas drinks were fabulously festive and it was wonderful to see everyone before the baby. Was almost hoping it might decide to turn up afterwards as it all started at their wedding, but alas it’s far too comfortable and happy staying put.
Last night we went over to Tim and Anne’s for their do, but at this point I’m afraid I had to give up. Couldn’t stand or sit after about 1/2 an hour due to excrutiating backache. It’s such a shame because they had a band and in normal circumstances we’d have stayed, drunk muchos vin rouge and probably embarressed ourselves on the dancefloor. Next year…..
Tonight we’re heading over the road to Cate and Jim’s for a spot of carol singing and then we batten down the hatches in preparation for Christmas Day!
