Christmassy

Our local big town has dressed the Mairie in Christmas red.

A howling gale added to the internal maelstrom of fury and despair and resulted in a largely sleepless night.

Last day with my intern was a study in work avoidance techniques. I also made a bunch of cakes (these two things are linked). When down about something I can either garden or bake through the worst - the rain put paid to the former.

Some work intruded, and some Christmas planning. Later the freezer arrived! Its prompt arrival meant I could go and get Mr B from the airport on time - a horrendous journey - then back to run CarbBoy into his judo class.

Tomorrow I will be further avoiding my troubles and more baking is on the cards.
