Christmas

It was another odd Christmas day. Jo went to church and Ross and I got ready for her return and then we all drove out to Inverurie where Carole had laid on a light lunch for us. We had a nice time with them - Luca was great and it was our first sight of tiny little Sima, Gary's new Jack Russell. Luca grazed on Jo's knee:




One of Carole's presents from Gary was her Man U shirt with her favourite player's name on it. As usual, Carole insisted that her face wouldn't be seen on camera:

and here's a first - Luca took this photo of me - rather good, eh?:

Gary wore his pinny getting ready for the afternoon's work in the kitchen:

Ross got pally with tiny little Sima:

and then he helped erect Luca's garage:

Luca's main present was Elmo:

We drove home in the gathering gloom to have our Christmas dinner, but when we got there, both Ross and I felt nauseous and had to go and lie down for an hour. We both got up eventually and managed to eat some of our dinner, but it didn't seem right. Shame for Jo, who, for a change, was fine - but she was the only one! I even missed Lucy's Skype - I tried to call her back later but no answer.

Kelly and Barry called to wish us Merry Christmas - and we'll see Kelly and Craig tonight of course.

Still feel a bit nauseous this morning and the tingling in my head hasn't gone away yet. I think Carole's theory of blocked sinuses may have some relevance - I think I may have an infection and if it doesn't clear soon I may need an antiobiotic to clear it.
