Autumn

Text to possible Christmas host: Assuming we're allowed to gather at Christmas, and assuming you're still OK for it to be at yours, are you OK with me making the Christmas cake and some mince pies?
Reply from possible Christmas host: Very happy for you to make cake and pies.
Reply from me: That's good because I made the cake and mincemeat today;-)
Reply from possible Christmas host: Hahaaa. Always better to ask after than before.
