Good Morning - Happy Boxing Day all. I hope everyone is doing ok. Work was actually ok yesterday - we had snacks, secret Santa, silly photos and more snacks. Back to do it all again this afternoon!
Happy Boxing Day to all. @AuntyRach, you and your colleagues deserve a big thankyou for working over Xmas, I'm sure your patients appreciated it. My sister and her partner were also working yesterday. I was very proud of her when she told me that she had plated up a big Xmas dinner and done a Xmas stocking for a young lad who has just started working with them and is living literally alone in his van, with a only a microwave to heat takeaways. He nearly broke down and cried when she gave him his dinner. She has a big heart, my sister and knows what it's like to be broke and lonely.
There are some good hearts out there .... I’m very proud of my son who spent time yesterday helping with a local charity that provides safe shelter for homeless single folk, ensuring they got a good meal yesterday and have enough food and fuel to keep them safe and warm.

Evening all. We are back and we had a good time at daughter's. Started with opening presents, I'd said we didn't want anything and presents should be for the grandchildren but we got a big box of Lindt chocolates, a big box of macaroons, wine and handcream for me. The 3 boys were delighted with their presents, mine were Lego, they also had a football goalpost with net for the garden and a Meccano car that ran on batteries, among other things. Then we had lunch, I made cold salmon with chaudfroid sauce, then Son in law cooked 2 ribs of beef on the open fire and daughter did the veg. The beef was really tasty. Then we all, except OH, (arthritic hip) went for a walk. We had dessert when we got back, 4 mini puds with coffee, chocolate mousse, raspberry panacotta, lemon meringue tarts, pavlova, all homemade, yummy.
The first course

It's bright and sunny here which is a lot better than was forecast. I hope it's good where you are.

Horrible weather here today but yesterday was fine so OK on average
