Three sleeps to santa Claus

So Th calculated today - we have been entertained by J & Th today.
Lots to do - J helped me to lay the dining table for Xmas day, made the place names & did the seating plan with Th - a bit early, but done.
Th accompanied me around the village, him on a scooter, me putting flyers  through all doors with service times & greetings from Church - still a lot to do.
They made cards, J wrote a story & we had fresh boiled eggs for lunch - "best ever".
Later we went to Solihull to do a couple of jobs, & had tea at McDonalds (not me - coffee only)
Solihull was pretty quiet, even M&S!
Came home about 7.00pm, stopping at Morrisons en route to buy dinner - too knackered to do much cooking.
We are presently watching David Attenborough's new programme about evolution (recorded) - amazing. He is presently at Craille in N Scotland, on the beach with the fossilised stumps of trees that were 90ft tall along with 2.5m long millipedes & dragonflies with a 1m wingspan, all from the Carboniferous period - lots of oxygen in the air so faster growth.
Blimey!  
Do watch if you get the chance.

Sermon to write for services at Sh & OW on Sunday & family service to prepare for Xmas day, pressies to wrap, flyers to go to much of village, beds to make up, turkey to collect & shopping to complete.
All good fun!
Should I shop early tomorrow or Monday?
I favour Monday so I can stay at home tomorrow & catch up - weather looks atrocious - time to start building the ark!
Have a good weekend........
