It's all a bit rushed

[ailbhe]

I'm flailing madly at a to-do list as long as someone's arm and although it's shrinking at one end, the other end keeps growing, a bit like the blanket in the prison.

I have a loaf of bread rising, though, because we've finally tackled the kitchen (and now Rob has some idea of what's involved before he can come home and say "Oh, that looks nice!" so I'll appreciate that more in future) and I think the Christmas-shopping-for-children is almost completed. I enjoy giving things to Linnea's friends almost as much as she does, but it may bankrupt us, though some sibling-groups are getting joint presents, because we are meeeeeeeeeean.

The singularly ill-informed person on a mailing list is being educated by people who are not me, so that's nice.

We agreed with the parents of Rhiannon's pre-school friends that we wouldn't do Christmas presents, because a)they all have so much stuff anyway and b) we all have lots of relatives to buy for.
There is no way I am doing Christmas presents for school friends!

Oh, feh, bread. I've been going around thinking "well, I'll make bread as soon as I get ..." First it was yeast, then it was flour, and it took me so long to remember to get the flour I suspect it's now yeast again.
