Perhaps I haven't put on any good music and laid out the canapes yet... Ok here we go! There's a big jug of mulled wine on the table and some mince pies too. Help yourself!
OK, so after reading one of the latest 'Charlyne Cares' emails, I decided to send a little card up with D tomorrow in which we both tell H we would be delighted to have him with us for Christmas and the day after. Perhaps my previous offhand invite doesn't make H feel very welcome. If in fact he refuses, then I have a friend to join up with, and if he insists on having her for Christmas, which I doubt, then I will have her for New Year, so I refuse to feel bad.
But, I just dread him taking D to OW 1's place for any festivities this holiday period.
Today I suddenly found myself cycling right behind OW 1. Funny how I hadn't clapped eyes on her for eighteen months after the bomb, now I spot her twice in a month.
My D was very pleased to be complimented by her karate teacher this evening, she came home bubbling with happiness over the fact.
Our decorations are up, and we have quite long and earnest discussions about whether Santa exsits or not, and how to test different theories. D wants to keep all doors and windows closed (When she pointed out we didn't have a chimney for Santa to come down, I informed her I always left a chink of window or balcony door open) to see if that prevents him, but then she said, if he DOES exist, then he won't be able to leave me anything!
She's in a quandary. She's 95% on the side of not believing he exists, but the tiniest doubt remains.
Spoke to H on the phone this evening about presents for D and stuff. He yawned loudly throughout our convo. He does this a lot, either early morning or evening. Could be just sleepiness, but it makes me feel I am boring that he goes on like that so.
I bought a couple of nice small things for myself when out shopping today, and cheered myself up.
Well, I hope some more folk arrive and the party begins to swing .
Happy Weekend!
