Thanks so much court You always manage to express the most wonderful posts - that take everyone into consideration!

As for 'celebrating Xmas,' I think the best phrase for me, is,'Tolerating it!' Like I seem to every year.

It would be nice to hear what everyone will be doing. As per. usual, I will be alone (after divorce many years ago.) I was hoping to see my daughter & her partner this evening - but unfortunately, she is unwell, so had to cancel the hotel & meal, & it's such a long drive from Brighton to here, & no fun - if you feel unwell.

& so, I have bought myself two tiny Poussins, which I will roast on Xmas day. One will be with sprouts, a parsnip, pigs in blankets, mash Pots, & home made stuffing balls. The other will be cold on Boxing day, with Mash Pots, salad, & lots of pickles....& then it will become stock from the carcasses - for Chicken & Veg. Coup, with herby dumplings.....for the next couple of days.

In between cooking, I have lots of tagged stuff on Netflix to watch, including a couple of boxed sets on a stick from a good friend - 'White Lotus' & 'House of the Dragons.'

Plus, I will be doing lots of painting - which I do everyday...but suddenly, it's starting to get lighter, & easier to paint in my small studio, which is so good.

I very much wish you & your family a wonderful New Year, & with many thanks for being such a very caring person on this site. I am sure that you have helped so many here.

& many best wishes to all those here - for a good Xmas, but a far better New Year!
