As a result of my accident last Saturday I tried to rest my leg so didn't do much physical activity. Had a Goolie zoom on Monday evening. Ian, John and Rick are very much into saving energy whereas Greg along with ourselves doesn't want to be cold in our retirement. M went to Oxford on Tuesday to do some Xmas shopping in the covered market. Spent my time doing an Xmas number ones disco bingo followed by an EOTR one. On Thursday did an Xmas Only Connect. Mr Ali, the inventor of the Chicken Tikka Masala at the Shish Mahal in Glasgow, sadly passed away. Horrible day on Friday, lots of rain. Managed to twist my knee whilst tidyjng up. Heard on Saturday morning that Anne has a very bad cold so her and Wynn wont be coming for Christmas as planned. Went down the Castle Tap in the evening with Steve, Lindsey, Tony, Sue and Patrick. Maybe had a pint too many. Mandy came over on Christmas Day. We drove out to Sonning for a leisurely walk and a pint at the Bull. Had a zoom with JAM and Tom and Sally then settled down to slow roasted lamb. I popped out for some air and to admire the local light shows.Kelvin came round later. Had quite a late one. Spent Boxing Day child proofing the house and catching up on Christmas telly. Picked JAM up from Heathrow on Tuesday morning. Their flight had been delayed by a couple of hours because of baggage handling issues in Toronto and as a result their suitcases didn't turn up. We put a fairly feeble fence round the Christmas Tree but it seems to have deterred Madeline. What could possibly go wrong? Tom and Sally came over in the evening. Stayed up til about 2 30 chatting to Tom. Wednesday was our Christmas day and we had planned fish but this was vetoed by Tom so we had to pop out for a large chicken. I'd been putting strapping round my hamstring and knee but noticed the bottom of my leg was startjng to swell up so time to stop the strapping. Did the presents a bit later. Had a fine meal and watched See How They Run. Played a few games with Tom after. On Thursday the younger generations went over to Josh and Vic's. We put Madeline to bed in practice for new years eve. Tom and Sally went back on Friday. We drove over to Thatcham in the afternoon to pick up one of James and Amy's suitcases from DHL then went for a walk at the nature reserve. We cooked the fish we had bought for our Christmas and played a few games.
It's M's birthday today (Monday). She got a fine array of presents, cocktail shaker and accessories from Tom and Sally, picture from...
