Festive preparations

I was in bed when C and co. came back unexpectedly at 11pm last night. I'd bolted the door so they had to make a decent amount of noise outside to raise me!

Work was fine but rather than work all day today and have tomorrow off I opted instead for working this morning and tomorrow morning so left at lunchtime.

I went to see S in Bedford for a cuppa and catch up for a relaxing couple of hours. She gave me a Christmas pressie too. I'm hoping to spend New Year's Eve there sushi making, like last year. Then it was home to a nice dinner cooked by T and then I iced the Guinness cake for afternoon tea tomorrow and supervised making the spicy sugar syrup for the mulled wine tomorrow too. Here's C and little W helping with the spices and citrus fruits.

C showed me the app he's been developing for launch in Oz. The content didn't mean much to me but the useability for those who are in his field does look good. Let's hope it takes off when he launches it and he makes his millions...

Everyone had an early night and I'm catching up on a bit of recorded telly.
