We are having a relaxing Christmas, so far - we're in London with Mr. Spouse's mother, in our (mainly lovely) flat (although the bathroom windowsill has basically given up on being painted so Mr. Spouse had to do some emergency tiling, and we haven't found a way to hang our nice new picture yet). Went to St. Paul's this afteroon, and I saw "Porgy and Bess" with my mother yesterday, followed by a really nice Indonesian meal and an attempt (curtailed by us all being knackered) at playing a new game I bought, where you build a new set of underground lines.

When you're spending Christmas somewhere other than home, you have to be reasonably restrained on the food front - it's eat it or take it home - you can't just say "oh, we'll eat it next week". We aren't doing to well on that unfortunately - the close proximity of Waitrose is a bit of a difficulty.

Oh, and thanks, cal, for letting the cat out of the bag by saying to my mother in law "so, you're going to see Sound of Music on Boxing Day, then?"
