Dot.T has arrived home after her opening night in the school play. She has a dirty face and is looking and sounding very dramatic - the pets are her adoring fans ...

In 2 days, HatBox will be back. In 3 days, LongLegs will be back. It's all speeding towards Christmas now. 

My MIL came round this evening and gave me lots of advice about Christmas lunch. Despite having done many, many Christmas lunches, she has made me nervous with all her do's and don'ts.
