It's being a very weird Christmas this year.

Firstly, our daughter is at her in-laws for Christmas and is coming back up here on the 27th, so we're not celebrating until the 28th, when we can all be together. This made yesterday (the actual 25th) a very low-key affair of just eating nicer snacks and watching Christmas media (Knives Out and the Great Christmas Pottery Throw Down.) And only opening presents from Gran, so we could thank her on the phone. All other presents are being saved for Second Christmas.

Secondly, I must have slept on a mosquito, or something, because I have been bitten hundreds of times on my right cheekbone, brow and eyesocket. I don't deal well with bites in general, and my face has swollen up - my eye is swollen nearly shut. The bones of my face hurt and it's not really adding to my festive mood.

Still, today is the Boxing Day dance-out, when we will dance next to the river for about an hour and then go to the pub to play tunes, and that's always fun. People who are taking their post-Christmas 'oh God, if we don't get out for a bit we'll go mad' stroll are always pleased to see us.

Thank you! Yes, it was a really nice dance and then we went off to the pub and I was able to play all the tunes during the session, so that was a great success. And then we went to the Minor Injuries Unit of the local hospital and they gave me and antihistamine, which seems to have brought the swelling down noticeably.

I'm very glad to hear you're doing better!
