Xmas eve

This years cake perhaps lacks the romance of previous years, being provisionally entitled 'Vomiting Santa', but it earned me a laugh and a kiss from the captain this morning :) The cake was sent from America by our sweet friend Barbara to whom are winging happy thoughts...

Lovely party last night with many friends and neighbours - nice mix of French and Brit with the French notably taking the mick of the perfidious albanists. Quelle horreur. Regreted not having my camera as out hostess donned a red nose and strap-on antlers -

In Esperaza as I shopped for flowers and stuff I ran into Nel and Pete, who are well; Mike, ditto; Ryan (hungover); Andy and James, in excellent form :)

Our Kat, alas, is still poorly -pull yourself together Kat, we miss you
