Party!

Everyone I've encountered today has been either stressed or weary. It seems we're all desperate for Christmas and a break!

Another bad night's sleep (us not Audrey) so it was a slow start to the day with burnt croissants and frayed tempers.

Audrey went down for a long lunchtime nap such took the chance to catch up on some remaining bits of work I hadn't done yesterday (would have much rather put my feet up with a cuppa).

This afternoon we went to the nursery Christmas party. What a party it was - lots of party food, music, presents, pass the parcel (unfortunately this concept upset most of them who were unwilling to do the 'passing' bit) and a scary Father Christmas (beards make babies cry = fact). But you couldn't knock the effort they had made.

Audrey enjoyed showing me her favourite haunts including the ball pool (pictured) where I understand she spends a lot of her time.

Early night tonight. Made myself Moroccan Lamb Stew. Catching up on all the food I didn't eat when I was ill at the start of the month!
