6.6 for me this morning but that was following a 1.5 correction to bring me down from 9.8 earlier and I had been at the high end of my range all night.
Went to a lovely event last night at a local National Trust property where they have set up a trail of Christmas lights in the grounds. It was absolutely spectacular with many of the displays projected onto old gnarly tree trunks and stumps. And some of them were interactive There were really amazing and dramatic light effects and the music was lovely and there were lots of little pop up food and drink stalls for people along the way and at the end a very traditional little fairground for the kids young and "old". My sister and I couldn't resist having a go on the Helter Skelter which was certainly a good way to warm up on a cold winter's evening after walking around the Trail. My sister's friends could not be tempted to join us and when we came back after our 2 giggling ascents and descents, they said "And what do you two want to be when you grow up?" And we both replied in unison (as we so often do).... "Sisters" and gave each other a big hug! If anyone is in the North East, the Gibside Light Trail is well worth a visit. I believe you have to book.
Out for my second Christmas do tonight and I'm delighted to hear @eggyg that it will be safe because we will be in a pub. 😉 I don't imagine it will be as well organized and segregated as the Chinese restaurant the other night and must confess I am a little apprehensive about going, not so much for my own health but the implications of having to isolate if I got it and who would look after my animals.
@Kaylz Now you have me worried again. I really wish Bruce had made a special trip to the pharmacy for you to get your stuff and return it to you before going to his parents.... then at least there would be a little time left in the day to try to resolve it, if, heaven forbid, they have made another mistake. Also of course it means that you will be incredibly anxious all day waiting until you get them. Sending (((HUGS))) and sharing your stress, just thinking about it.
@eggyg How totally heartbreaking! Maybe write that you have lain awake half the night thinking of your friend and trying to find the words to provide some comfort, but that nothing seemed appropriate or adequate, so just sending your love. Whatever you write will be from the heart because you are such a genuine loving person and your friend will know that because she is your friend.
