School christmas fair tomorrow - have just spent 2 hours helping set it up. Am on the 'water or wine' stall.
Pogle jr announced yesterday she wanted a christmas tree outfit to dress up in for the fair - so I've got a couple of metres of green felt a sewing machine and a large vodka and tonic for this evening - Sunday is the usual stuff and its the first Sunday of Advent so pretty candles in church.
