Sunday.........

Wind still easterly....... and bitter. A typical Sunday for me, plus the added excitement of pining up Christmas cards.........wow! Cag also asked me to cut some holly for a table display, easily done as we have a dozen trees within 50 yards of us. No berries, the black birds have seen to that.

I cut a large growing tip, planted it in a large vase weighted down with gravel, and dressed it as a Christmas tree. I'm impressed and so is the dog. It's the first real 'tree' we've had since we moved here and might become a habit.

Spent much of the evening clearing out more files from the Toshiba and backing them up on disc. I've already saved them to an external hard drive so I've edged my bets, just in case.

Sadly watched the last episode of Cranford tonight. I love those sort of dramas and this one was so well done. Will be scanning the pages of the Radio Times to see what other classics are happening over the holidays.

A phone call to make tomorrow to find out what is happening to my mother's will, and when I can expect an appointment for probate. Not the last phone call I expect.
