Trees from today’s walk along the river.

Status:

Fi got me a crochet starter pack (some wool and a hook) so I guess I’m at the stage where crochet happens. Checked out the basic beginners video and it looks fairly achievable.

I got her a Jonathan Edwards print which looks gorgeous in the flesh.

Went for a walk along the river (well, I was on my scooter) with sister.

Had a very nice meal with Fi.

Then sister and niece came over for pudding and I retired to write this up. That’s enough Christmas for one year.

Overnight listening:

• Night Tracks

Music:

• A Charlie Brown Christmas by Vince Guaraldi Trio
• A Kind of Blue by Miles Davis

Reading:

• We invited a man into our home at Christmas and he stayed with us for 45 years
• Years of scapegoating rhetoric has led to ‘envy and resentment’ of those with blue badges, research finds

Telly:

• Only Connect
• Gone Fishing: Christmas special
