12th Night

Last night, after I had taken down the baubles I sat back with my coffee and gazed at the candles. "I'm not packing away the candles," I thought, "they will be tomorrows blip!" Et voilà  - the view from my settee!

Although I stayed in bed until 11am, I'm beginning to feel I've turned a corner with this cold. (Though I did think this last Wednesday or I'd not have dared had The Mate over for NYE!) He did come down with the cold but seems to be coping. Like the rest of the country our town now has no LF tests at all. Ridiculous situation!

We went out to the lodge this afternoon and took down the decorations there, too.
