Happy (almost) New Year.

So where did 2011 go to?
Having been away we seem to have missed the usual pattern of shopping, cooking, overeating, watching  TV & going for the odd walk, with family & friends.
Actually, we've just missed the cooking, which was a treat as The Danish Christmas dinner is delicious & I think that W & MK cook a better British Christmas dinner than me.

Yesterday we celebrated the New Year with our usual lunch for as many friends & family as we can get together.
We ate & drank our way through a good deal of food & Proseco & had a really good time catching up with old friends. AJ is visiting did her usual sterling work, helping in the kitchen & cutting the clearing up time in half.
We settled for a sandwich & falling asleep in front of a good fire afterwards.

Today we have caught up with the rest of the family, having a lovely day with B, E T & KP.
We played "Lego Champions" after lunch & then T helped to make Scotch pancakes for tea.
I have since read the rules & note that we weren't playing it quite correctly, which probably accounts for the game lasting for over an hour.
It's very good - B is a bit of a whizz, especially at "toppling towers"!

I shall start the diet tomorrow, or perhaps on Wednesday, depending on the contents of the fridge.
