I worked briefly in the morning. The bosses made a very brief visit to our hidden lab, pausing only long enough to kiss Jo (the one female engineer), then rushing out, saying as they did so that we didn't need to stay any longer. It was only 9:30. We all looked at each other, then carried on working for another hour and a half.
I took M to her six week checkup on her hip. Everything is fine. It is amazing she has improved in six weeks.
John picked up Mary from Cheltenham station, but there was a bit of a mix up and she ended up waiting at the station for an hour. It was lovely to have her back.
I cooked enchiladas as quickly as possible, as Mary wanted to go out to meet her friends. I had a short walk for exercise, then went to bed at 11PM, as I feel a little rough with the pressure at the moment. We didn't go to church.
Christmas Day.
It was a lovely day, and I really enjoyed having the family around.
There wasn't much time to open presents before church. As usual we attended the 10AM service. Quite by chance Andrew Spurr quoted statistics on poverty, from the report that Mary had produced from her work at the DWP a few weeks ago. Mary mentioned this to him as we left.
Catherine rushed down from Chester, joining us just before lunch.
We had a lightish lunch of brie and bacon baguettes (Rachel'
s suggestion), then headed out for a walk up to Broadway Tower. The weather was brilliant, though cold and it was an excellent walk. It was good to have M walking with us again.
Back home we opened the rest of the presents, then had the evening meal of lasagna. Again it was lovely to sit together at the table and talk.
