A Very Happy Christmas and Successful New Year to one and all!

It's been a mixed time since last I blogged. It was our friendly and happy writing group Christmas 'party' to end our sessions for 2009. Only tea/coffee and mince pies and such like for a couple of hours in the afternoon, but it put us in the right spirit (non-alcoholic!). Then I had a scrumptuous Christmas lunch with my good friend - an annual event we both look forward to at a local restaurant.

In between, husband's computer died on him - always a fraught event! Since he's finishing up one job by the end of 2009, and trying to start a new business by the beginning of 2010, it was not good timing. However, we did promise ourselves a laptop between us for Christmas, so it came early. Only problem is it has Windows 7 and Word 7 - why on earth does it have to be changed quite so much? Quick lesson in finding the essentials and we can now carry on working happily in our separate rooms! Glad I still have XP.

Wonder if we'll get a white Christmas? It's been snowing so much here that we've been snowbound twice since Sunday and it's almost worse tonight. Beautiful up here, but a nuisance when trying to get all the food shopping done. It did let me get on with sending several competition entries away over the last couple of days (by email). And I did manage to get the turkey and all the trimmings this morning while the hill was gritted, and before the next heavy fall of snow this afternoon, so Christmas dinner is still on!

Best of everything to all,

Rosemary
