Christmas prep: delivery number one

This morning I slept in a bit. I’d had an early rise yesterday and Friday and needed to catch up a bit, so it was good to snooze a bit. After getting up and having a quick breakfast I went for my 5k run. It turned sunny and hot later in the day, but the morning was overcast and pleasantly cool for the run, which was nice.

After lunch we drove over to my mother-in-law’s place to take a bunch of Christmas goodies. Christmas lunch is there, and we’ll also be taking a bunch of food that day, so we thought it would be good to get a head start and take some of the other stuff today: drinks, gifts, and whatnot. Traffic was light, with a lot of people already away for Christmas vacations. But my mother-in-law lives adjacent to a popular walking track along the harbour shore, and that was very busy, with a lot of people enjoying the sunny weather and scenery along the walk.

When we came home my wife started Christmas cooking, making some gingerbread with bits of dried fruit in it, and some chocolate date balls with a white chocolate topping. I think she’s got something else planned too.

Oh, I forgot to mention Scully had her pre-Christmas wash and groom yesterday, and is looking neat and trim for the big day too.
