Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas. It is 8am here and everything is quiet . Had a lovely day yesterday- made more cookies for Dieter - buttery Viennese crescents made with ground almonds. Went to Mass at St Bens at 11am then got ready slowly for our four afternoon tea guests. We had coffee and cookies, cake and stollen, and florentines which Ann had made followed by a drink and nibbles. Elisabeth came round at 6.00pm and we celebrated Christmas with a late meal of turkey roll, cheese potatoes and green vegetables, followed by trifle for dessert. Exchanged our presents after that - Dieter gave me a new hand-held phone and Elisabeth gave us a DVD player. My technological challenge for January will be to fathom how to use both of these. Elisabeth is home until late afternoon so we will have a peaceful day and have a couple of visits to and from friends after that. Off to Waiheke for a few days tomorrow.
