    Rolling is about the right level of activity 😂😂

    Mr C is back out of bed, and we have officially abandoned any Christmas Dinner plans. Might consider tomorrow, might not. I did a nice bit of dreamboard collage with some old magazines (look at me, decluttering on Christmas Day! 😂😂) and now watching Wallace & Gromit 😁

    And who in Aardman Productions has been reading MSE for the 'Turneep' love - or have they a part-time job at the Swedish (turneep) Embassy workin' folk's club......... 🤣

    Hope you are able to look after yourself, and that Mr Cheery is improving.
