Christmas

It was just Richard and I for Christmas last year - the first time we've been on our own for Christmas day in the 12 years we've been together. It was a little bit sad being away from family, but we had a really enjoyable, relaxing day, starting with playing RockBand in our jimjams at 8 o'clock in the morning and culminating in watching Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone on BluRay in the evening.

As mentioned a while back in the blog, our oven broke just before Christams, so our friends John and Sonja kindly lent us theirs as they were having dinner with John's family. So we had one trip over the road at lunchtime to put the turkey in and to have a couple of drinks and then several trips later on the adjust the oven and then add the potatoes, stuffing, and other trimmings. Luckily managed to bring everything back safely in one piece ready to eat once it was cooked, so we had a lovely meal in the evening and leftovers the next day, and the next, and the next, and...
We were both able to take two weeks off over the Christmas period, so we just had a lovely time reading, watching television and enjoying not being at work. We also had a slight rearrange of some of our furniture in the dining room and kitchen, so we've opened up a bit more space.
