What a lovely day! My girlie cooked lunch brilliantly for 15 people. Not many 21 year olds can do that and not get hassled. (well not many people can cook Christmas lunch for that many and not get hassled) Everything worked very well and lunch was delicious. I looked around the table so grateful for my lovely family. There were some tearful moments and a little bit of thinking about the future but on the whole it was a joyful day. It was lovely to see the children all interacting and playing together - who doesn't want to make lip balm or be a spy and break codes!

I am struggling today with the thought of dialysis. I wish I could have a holiday from dialysis but hey ho that is what I need to be doing. Chloe and Paul are coming with me so I am sure we will play chequers and have a picnic! Hopefully we shall come back to my perfect Boxing day meal of cold turkey, ham, salad and jacket potatoes. Maybe I will keep that down unlike all my meals yesterday!

Happy Boxing Day to you all!
