Today’s Christmas preparations

I am really tuckered out now. This afternoon SE1 tweeted that the Seizure art exhibit was still on at Harper Road. I’ve been meaning to visit, but hadn’t gotten around to it. As I had nothing better to do this afternoon I walked over and saw it. It is an abandoned apartment which has been covered inside walls and ceiling with copper sulfate crystals. It is stunning, and it’s a pity it’ll be destroyed when the exhibit is over on the 3rd of January. I took pictures but they don’t capture the experience very well. Then I stopped by the church on the way home to put out the candelabra we use at Christmas and Easter. Someone seems to have nicked the candle snuffers, though.

I hung out the sheets to dry after washing, and then I made my Grapenut Pudding. While it was baking, arrived for our annual Christmas/Boxing Day bash—as there is no public transport on Christmas Day here, he stays with us so he can sing with his church choir. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to make it down here.

We went out to Nando’s for dinner, courtesy of as his Christmas present, and then I prepared the sprouts for tomorrow’s dinner. I think we should be OK for eating tomorrow.

The Anadama bread has met with HWMBO’s approval, and I look forward to having the Grapenut pudding for dessert tomorrow. I made it with Splenda instead of sugar, so it should be easier on the carbs than it would be otherwise.

Soon time for bed. Santa’s not stopping by tonight, AFAIK.

    Thanks again for everything. You outdid yourself with dinner. Everything was delicious, especially the ham and sweet potatoes. My parents would be shocked to learn I even liked the sprouts!

    Anytime. It was the easiest Christmas dinner I’ve ever cooked.

    And thanks for the unexpected presents.
