Preparing for Christmas guests

Mr hazelh and I dedicated most of this afternoon to getting ready for the arrival of our Christmas guests. This included chamber-maiding the spare room and preparing supper for tonight (lasagne and apple crumble) and pudding for tomorrow evening (chocolate bread and butter pudding, three portions made with Baileys - hic!)

The Foxes arrived just after 6pm and we have all enjoyed a jolly evening together. Our main topic of conversation has been elderly parents.

I have slept really badly the past couple of nights. I do hope that I manage to sleep beyond 3am tonight...

I blipped the spare bedroom all spruced up for the Foxes.

Exercise today: swim (60 lengths); walking (13,246 steps).
