One thing we did discuss at the weekend was
Christmas. I know I’ve always said it shouldn’t even be thought about until
after November 5th, but with one sister working shifts and the other
one engaged to a vicar, it’s not something we can leave until the last
minute. It’s only nine weeks away, you
know. We threw it around a bit and we’ve
actually decided we’re going to book a table at a restaurant somewhere, and all
meet up for lunch on the Big Day itself. It goes against what we all normally
do, but it would be so nice to spend Christmas Day with all three siblings (and
associated parties) together. None of us really has the space and facilities to
cater for half a dozen (plus a young one) so it makes sense to meet up
somewhere central and let someone else do all the work in the kitchen. I
offered to be the one to do the research and find somewhere suitable, but the
women in my life don’t trust me to boil an egg, much less pick a decent eatery,
so that task has been taken on by Hannah.
My responsibilities fell elsewhere - I’m not sure
how it happened, but I boldly said I would happily pay for everyone’s lunch,
instead of getting them presents.
So I now have to hope Hannah finds somewhere
reasonably priced…
