Christmas Cake Day

Had a more leisurely approach to the day, as Bella is hopefully coming home today. Graham's cold started to worsen so he stayed in bed. Took Ruaridh to the woods met some Jack Russell dogs that were a pain in the butt, one attempted to bite the wee fellow, so we said cherrio to that lot! When we got home Joe had telephoned to say Layla and the wee one could go home, he sounded so excited just hope she manages to keep taking the breast milk and puts on some weight, I know I am biased but she is a cutie!
Had some lunch then had to go to the dreaded supermarket as I wanted to make and bake the Christmas Cake today, and I required greaseproof paper, bought some other goodies as well. Came home and set about the cake, allowed myself two wishes whilst stirring, I know this should be with the pudding but I bought that already. Cake will be ready at 1930/2000
hours.
Layla telephoned at about 1630 hours to say they had just got home. Poor things she asked were we going over, so I said I would love to, Graham can't because of his cold. Drove over and spent a good hour with them, the wee one fed quite well, and finished off with expressed milk.
Arrived home to rescue the cake looks delicious. My buddy Sue telephoned from British Columbia to offer congrats to all, she is in good form and appeared to be delighted that the baby was here.
Made dinner-pasta and cheese sauce, salad and red wine. Then my cousin Mike telephoned to offer his congrats! Quite a busy day, Now for a cup of tea and then bed! goodnight.
