Most people in NZ seem to. Hey, it's time off work and supermarket raiding time - after all, the SHOPS WILL SHUT for a whole day, they say.
Mike and Phil, Sophie's godparents, sent a circular WITHOUT AN INDIVDUAL NOTE to let us know how particularly important we are. I believe that is known as poor form (just trying to imitate your writing style, Mike - how'd I do?) :-) lovely to hear from you even if you admit to the extreme over-achievement yourselves, always daunting for normal folks, you know ...
Richard and Ruth are - well - how do you think a vicar's family would be during a London Christmas? End-of-year reporting time doesn't come close, at least in terms of the crush of the congregation and their inescapable expectations (that's what congregations are for, innit?). Is that true, guys?
Theo and Els dropped off a card, knowing, perhaps that energy for keeping all the household teens polite can run out - happy Christmas to you and your sons - and your niece - too.
Kerry came with a brave response to the first classical CD I have lent him (here's what I liked and didn't, keep trying) - and took another. Testing out Tchaik Piano Concerto No 1 cos he liked the celebratory 3rd movt of the Dvorak violin concerto. It feels to me like the Dumky trio might be a good next. And then of course he continues to give the "other side" - the left-hand-side bookshelf pop/rock/world music the workout it deserves.
Sam and Ben and Mike and others have kindly engaged Alex's brain and motor skills in joint internet killing-games-marathons, and of course the whole person in Star-Wars-watching and swimming sessions (not at the same time). I hope you guys have some clue just how much of a gift this is.
Christie, Marc, Jenny, Adele, Jenny, Michael, Patricia, Kate and other non-forgetters have stayed close and borne with the ups, downs and sideways's.
Families - it's a tough job, carry on giving the benefit of the doubt and enjoy your own familyettes ...
Other non-small-island-nation friends - Julia, Lynora, Rob, Alan and others - thinking of you.
Blog readers, responders, emailers, remaining-interested parties - I'm glad you find something interesting to read sometimes. Just one woman's opinion.
My oldest :-) friends from school, uni and growing up the first time around: Katherine, Read, Susan, Christie in here x2 - thanks for helping develop the plot, and I hope you get something back for your input.
To those without a personal mention: either you're one of the most important or I've forgotten you in this particular half-hour. You decide. xx
Now it's stopping time, take some of your own, enjoy, do some laughing
