On Weds mornings I normally go to a coffee morning at church. This year the couple who run it suggested we all go out for a Christmas lunch which we did on Weds. It was really good, P came too so he could help transport elderly people. We had a really nice lunch, P & Becky had salmon, I had turkey. It's still a marvel to me that I can eat roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding etc with no bad effects. It's only 3 years since eating all that sort of stuff would make me really ill. I was in quite a lot of pain from rib but still had good time. One lady from church had knitted everyone a snowman with a Ferrero Rocher chocolate inside. I brought mine home for J who was thrilled with it. Had some difficulty getting one disabled man in & out of taxi but in the end P bodily picked him up & lifted him out which worked fine.
In the evening we went to J's carol concert. It was in the Anglican church & sadly where we were sitting we couldn't see J at all, or most of the other children either. We could see the orchestra though which was quite interesting. There wasn't anything like the drama of last year's performance when one little girl in the front row was violently sick. The whole evening was very good & the orchestra's performance of 'The Snowman' was really quite moving. Even when the hand chimers lost the plot in 'Silent Night' & ground to a halt they were still very sweet, standing there looking at each other & their teacher helplessly. Anyway what was really good was that J said his words really loudly & clearly. Even from our place at the side of the church we could hear every word. I'm so proud of him.
