First blog of the day.
Don't know what to write; not feeling very inspired
.
So much of my energy is going into avoiding Christmas 
Avoiding is a bit like wading upstream in strong current 
Ridiculous really.
All to avoid fuss.
Hate fuss.
Dislike doing things because I " have to "
Like to do things, write cards , give presents when I feel like it , not when I am supposed to.
For a few years now I haven't sent Christmas cards and I still receive some.. Bless. Makes me feel uncomfortable, but I'll have you know , just for the record that even though you don't actually receive a card from me , I have actually thought of you and sent you blessings.
Funny how when you don't know what to write and when you start writing, words and thoughts appear 
Anway , I'm off to prepare the mushroom nutty patée that I am serving as a starter for Christmas Eve dinner.
The Prof and his lady are coming over 
I'm doing the food and they are bringing the booze
Saffron and vanilla pannacotta for dessert...cheeses too with a spot of Madeira and Port
Baked salmon and "potatisgrantäng ", creamy gratinéed potatoes, mangetout and other veggies.
In case I don't see you on the day ....Happy Juletide everyone!
Bon Natale !
