3/4 of the tree has gone up. Lifted onto a unit, it is too tall for the space otherwise. Makes it look more decorated anyway:
I just cannot get in the mood this year. DGD and her family will have a few things to look at, around the house, which is giving a feel of Christmas so all is not lost. She is too young this year to notice things too much anyway.
Had to cancel one present for DS and order something else as delivery is delayed by a lot for some odd reason. All of DDiL's presents have arrived and other than the one thing newly ordered, all is finished - yay!
We are having a European/German meal today. Roasted kassler, rosti potato and cabbage stir fried with onion and Maggi sauce. Gravy will be the sauce from Ikea that they serve with their meatballs.
Tea will be avocado on toast, followed by a trial of gooseberry bread and butter pudding, with custard.
It looks lovely :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you. Only one set of lights on it this year.
DeleteThe tree is looking lovely. I love the sound of gooseberry bread and butter pudding for tea, what time do you want me?
ReplyDeletePudding was certainly different but nice. Unfortunately the gooseberries were a tad too sour.
DeleteLovely! Does Ruby show any interest in the tree?
ReplyDeleteNo festive mood here either.
No she doesn’t, not at all interested. She did have a quick sniff when the tree chocolates went on but they are out of her reach and she would be in big trouble if she tried.
