Keeping Busy

Just back from dropping off Rozana at Manchester Piccadilly Train Station. She's decided to pop up to Scotland over Christmas. And Fifi is off to spend Christmas with a chum in Leeds, so we'll be driving her there in half an hour or so. Noi will be preparing Christmas dinner for Maureen & John which means we'll be tracking down our halal turkey once we get back to base. This is not exactly restful, but I suspect we're less busy than most folks here engaged in their fraught preparations for their big day. A useful reminder that whilst it's fun in its way to be here for the festive season, on the whole I'm happy to keep it all at a distance.
