Joy to the world

Today we have been mostly baking- sourdough bread, cardamom braid, Christmas-tree coffee cake, two sorts of cookie, and mince pies. We now only need to make the sweet potato mash, the stollen, and the herb bread before christmas day itself (I think). Tree half decorated, presents half wrapped, Radio Times half annotated, christmas music half-listened to in background. Much manual labour has been performed, but not by me (hurrah). Have also cunningly got off washing-up for a few days by slicing my finger open. Typing nine-fingered is all sorts of fin fub fun.

Thoroughly enjoying myself.
