Hanging the Christmas lights

Here Mr hazelh hangs the Christmas lights in our sitting room. Be grateful that this is not a video sharing site. He found the whole process rather traumatic and gave a rather sweary commentary as he worked his way along the wall.

This afternoon we went Christmas shopping. We exchange parents presents with very few people so this task was easily completed at Waterstones and Topping and Company. I also bought a new pair of jeans to replace those that I ripped on the day that we helped Paddy and Caitlin move house. I wasn't allowed to try them on in Gap so was delighted to find that they were a perfect fit when we returned home.

This evening we will watch television under the glow of our Christmas lights: those blipped, the ones on our gold(!) fibre optic Christmas tree, and our white waterfall arrangement behind the sofa.

Exercise today: walking.
