Christmas is a'coming

Far too fast for my liking. I have to brave the shops this weekend for those few last minute things I need for our Christmas lunch. It is forecast to be 38C, so I will be buying salad stuff and fruit, plus some fruit juice and mineral water to mix up to make cool drinks.

Today I have a full blown Christmas lunch at the retirement village where I live. Am, turkey and all the trimmings.

To end on a fibre related note, my sister sent me some Opal sock wool from the UK, and I have started knitting a pair of woolly socks! The wool is knitting up in nice bright stripes so is interesting to work with. Won't have much time for knitting this morning, though, as I am going to help set the tables for lunch.
