It is time to start xmas shopping. My dad started decorating their house and property I have seen one house here already with lights up. I am wearing my favourite and only pair of merino wool longjohns. Lovely. Gift for Noel from last year.  This year I could do with socks, bigger than those bought last summer. BJG is getting three gifts tomorrow.  And brunch and cake with candles hopefully.  For dinner we can have pasta with smoked salmon and white sauce? Maybe such dinner could invoke the ghost of lovely social worker?
