December has been good.
There has been a lot of happy anticipation, christmassy stuff going on around the house, music, paper stars and chocolate calendars. The cookies are baked, the cranberries are cooked and the duck is ready to be picked up tomorrow . The house and garden are covered in twinkling yellow lights and lanterns dot the way up to the house.
Matt is mildly bewildered at all the activity around him. He is still in his London routine, but he does like to settle down at night with a shot of Porto and the open tin of biscuits on the table while listening to Zoe’s very own rendition of “Noel” and take it all in.
This is good and it is these little sentimental niches that get us through the winter of life.
Junko’s memorial service is tomorrow.
