I am having trouble going through my backlog of emails, so losing myself in here a bit today.....
Reminds me that I need to start stashing naice wine - I still have last year's half bottle of dessert wine, and while we have a couple of nice bottles of vintage port, there's only 2 of us to drink it so I will get a half bottle of the M&S port (we'll drink the good stuff sometime - when there's a group of people to enjoy it!). I want to get a bottle of bubbles, and 2 nice bottles of white wine for turkey - not that we'll drink all that, but gives us options as to whether we have some bubbles and a glass of wine, or actually only have wine but feel like opening the second bottle, or I have a nice glass of sweet wine with pudding (a very rare treat!).
I've also been browsing on Amazon, mostly at camping gear and filling my wishlist (in case people want a few ideas in coming months!). Saw a few things on other sites on our hols that would be good, and realized I was still missing a few things, and my chair is on its last legs (literally!). (And the bbq doesn't come off the ground enough so scorched the grass 
- I think I'd like a firepit and tripod arrangement instead....).
I found 2 nice lunchtime carol concerts in December as well. DMIL "might" come to 1 with me (I go every year and invite her annually, she has yet to actually come, but maybe....). My DAunt came last year, and I will say it to her again also, as 1 is a Friday and the other a Monday, and the Choir Mistress is the same for both (different choirs though). But at least I have a plan. And a possible nighttime concert that DH might agree to (he has "put up with" a few choral and orchestral ones with me but grudgingly, whereas this is one I think he'd like 
). I'm happy to go to lunchtime ones alone.
I will catch up on all the news here too as well.
