Aren't holidays great? I still get up early (puppy reasons) but can sit around, drink coffee, read a book, potter around the house. Today we went to town for a pre-Christmas shop screening. What I mean is that Hanna was with us, so I couldn't buy anything for anybody that she saw, but I saw things and will get them on Thursday when she will be happily playing with a friend.

Flowers from a beautiful bush in my garden. It creates funny background for the Christmas tree though. Somehow the greenness outside is livelier (anything would be than plastic) and greener.
