Today, I met my DH for a sandwich at lunchtime. That might not seem like Christmas fun, but we so rarely get that chance, and at Christmas time we often manage a couple of lunchdates (even if just for a sambo), that it was really nice. And here, the sun is really shining today (after lots of rain yesterday so that's nice). And while things don't look terribly rosy in the longer term, things are looking reasonably secure for the shorter term since this morning (I will be ok in my job, but it looks like DH's is more secure until next summer - and then we should have our chance to go travelling with mine, so it is even dovetailing nicely at that point).
On my way back to the office, I knew I needed bread for tonight so stopped into the small grocery store near my office. Got the bread, and also a couple of boxes of chocolates as the Christmas ones are on 30% off special this week. So the selection box for DD, a box of wafer mints for after dinners (I am hoping to get the chance to entertain a few times), and a LARGE box of chocolates for the office (I will be moving to a different office where I'll have a few people working for me, in a month, so it will be a nice surprise in the weeks before Christmas from me). And a different smaller box that wasn't festively decorated, for my sister's birthday later this week (cunning plan!!).
