St Crépin
Yesterday's weather: lovely once again
I don't suppose you knew it was Christmas Day yesterday, did you? Our friend who, you will shortly understand (and I'm sure won't mind my telling you), is as mad as a hatter, decided that, since we weren't going to see each other over Christmas, we would celebrate a virtual Christmas Day complete with virtual Christmas Tree, lights, and virtual presents. You will therefore be surprised to learn that we are extremely tired this morning (our friends had to leave before light to catch their flight back to the horror that is South East England) and our sides are aching from laughing so much.
Jon was very pleased to have received a virtual RSJ so that he can virtually knock our two rooms into one. I was given a virtual Toblerone which I was happy to share around. Our friends received a hamster exercise ball (which I think will be too small for their Jack Russell - who is real by the way) and some jewellery - received by the person whose idea it was - I think she was hinting to her husband what should be on her list this Christmas.
What pleased Jon most was that he was able to avoid having to play Christmas Carols on the piano and I managed to conveniently lose the Christmas CDs. We played virtual charades and a rather surreal game of I-Spy.
I think it's rather good that we don't see these friends too often. At my age I don't think I can take the pace of 2.30am bedtimes and riotous laughter for more than a day or so at a time.
Thanks so much for coming. We had a wonderful time with you and look forward to a return match of I-Spy very soon.

Glad you like virtual presents. That's what you'll get from us - virtually nothing!
Let's always just have virtual Xmases. Much cheaper and much less work, but just as much fun.
Has your puss returned yet?
