Mincepies, Mini Christmas and Silly Games.

Giving out the presents

1  I spent a busy and productive morning making mountains of mincepies of all sizes and  many, many mini sausage rolls and cheesy whirls.

2  Our lovely eldest daughter has come home today to be with us just overnight so we’ve had a mini Christmas afternoon, exchanging presents. Jake made a splendid present deliverer. Dinner in Mikki’s honour was the wonderful Flemish Beef.

3  Just as we were finishing our meal, Daniel, our lovely son rang up from Barcelona. He’ll be in Senegal for Christmas with his fiancee, Ami. He must have heard the toast to him and Ami we had just made!    We are about to sit around now with our mulled wine and play games, both grandchildren being safely tucked up.

Piano Lesson, Baking and Friends

1  My piano lesson went well! Despite being away and not practising as much as usual I am beginning to find that I’m remembering pieces and finding them fun to play. I’ve started on my next Grade 1 piece today.

2  Lucy has baked a Banana Loaf using Katheryn’s recipe on her blog http://shelikesherfood.wordpress.com/2009/11/06/four-seed-banana-bread/       Lucy used half coconut oil and half vegetable oil and it is divine!

3  Lovely evening with friends whom we’ve not seen for far too long.

Monday 7th November

1  Scraped out the condensed milk tin after making  KJ’s lime cheesecakefor the supper-with-friends on Tuesday evening. Yum! This was a wicked treat that Mum and I used to share. She could eat half a tin-ful!

2  Sang with the Inglehearts tonight. We’re beginning to prepare for Christmas and it was a real pleasure to have all the tunes and words come back into my head and to be able to help a new member get to grips with them.

3  Suddenly got to grips with the first line of the Nocturne I’m trying to learn!  Yes!
