The ribbons!

I wasn't expecting ribbons like this at all. Thank you, sun-on-the-way-back.

Not only that but I went out with a very specific purchase in mind and the shop I thought might have it, did!

Then I went home and made 48 mince pies. It won't be as many as it sounds when everyone is assembled but while I was making them the neighbour who'll be with us on Sunday came in and apologised profusely that she doesn't like mince pies. No problem: 48/n becomes 48/(n-1) and n-1 will all be happy.

Since I regard this zigzag as festive wrapping I guess it counts for Abstract Thursday. Thank you Ingeborg.
