Eating, writing and balling in blackpropaganda

This evening we start the Christmas eating season - a meal with members and partners of a group who invest in shares - and SW.. is the only woman member.
Needless to say she holds her own with the men - and we have profited over the years by the decision that the group have made.
So we are off to an Italian bistro -I have chosen bruschetta and then steak - and no doubt will have a glass or two of red wine. We could be generating some noise by the end!!!

I have started writing Christmas cards - SW.. checks the list and writes the envelopes - and so I have the easy part. Always a decision who gets what card - and I can see why people are cutting back on sending cards since even second class stamps are dear. Still is is one way of keeping in touch with people we rarely see - and some collect my cards as mementoes. There is a charity delivery in our area, and so most of the local ones go in that - and we normally do deliveries in a couple of streets.

Also SW.. has a birthday over the Christmas period so I have to make sure which cards are only for her.

The walk went well yesterday - although we had to be very careful on forest paths with the wet leaves , especially on slopes - one slip and there could be a real injury. IT is always good to get thanks from the walkers which means they enjoyed themselves - and reckoned it was well organised!

Tomorrow we should pick up a montage of photos from our cruise from the man who has been putting them together - not sure where we are going to put it - but it sill be an excellent record of the trip

And today - I liked this one..
