deck the halls with boughs of holly

pensnestThe Christmas cards are arriving, which is always a cheering time. Thank you to frausorge, dine, turlough and rikes.
Things are surprisingly busy here, though mostly for my Beast, who has been out singing so frequently in the last week or so. Happily I quite like having the house to myself, and as I can manage perfectly well around the house without the crutches now, he can go out with a clear conscience. I even managed to put my own socks on this morning, using on my left foot the cunning little contraption loaned by a friend who had her hips done a few years ago. You put the sock onto the contraption, put your foot into the contraption, and haul it up your leg using the long straps, then extract the leg. Tres clever.
I had a physio session on Monday which went very well, and am now booked for six weeks of 'hip class' in the New Year. Meep. Perhaps by then I shall be allowed to drive myself thither. Beast has been adding Chauffeur to his increased list of duties of late. Have been up to the shops again twice this week, once without Beast but with crutch, and once with Beast and no crutch. It is very fortunate to have a nice little café amongst the shops, as I'm not quite sure about walking there, shopping, and coming back without a bit of a sit down. No doubt I could do it if I had to. Tho not pulling the little cart we now have for our shopping! I took my rucksack on Wednesday, and managed to fill it but staggered home okay.
Beast and I watched Blitz on Apple TV yesterday. It was good, and I recommend it to anyone who has access. A full spectrum of human behaviour during wartime, and a very appealing young lad.
