Dear JemJem, Here I am again with your goodnight Christmas candle.. Merry Christmas darling. I forgot to say happy Boxing Day yesterday: I think I forgot to send you a card. I still love and miss you very much, and I wish very much that I could be with you now and that we could spend Christmas together. My head is not sore now but my arm is still hurting even more today than it has been for weeks, and I'm getting really bad back pains, maybe because of the exercises, increased activity and the new mattress, I don't know. You would have liked Linda's card: a nativity scene with the three kings and the words to the carol. The weather was cold and very windy all day. The temperature is now 4 degrees, heavy rain and a moderate breeze, and will rise to 12 degrees, light rain and a moderate breeze, and then just get colder and colder again. Merry Christmas anyway my darling. I had breakfast because the estimator was suppose to come and give me a quote for carpets so I woke up for him. He did not come. I am annoyed because I dropped one of the eggs with which I was going to make a three egg cheese omelette for lunch: I had pork pie and salad for supper. Our digibox still did not turn up and the laptop still refuses to show DVDs, though Danny worked for ages on it. I can now watch DVDs on the little player we used to have and on the new TV when that is set up. I wish I could watch it with you. I think of you whenever I see the Christmas tree in the square. I was looking for the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols at Cambridge which you loved and which I usually catch at this time and which is in its centenary year, but I found Christmas University Challenge instead. It reminded me of you because alumni of Bristol (which is what you are) thrashed alumni of Brasenose College Oxford. I am very tired still and sleepy still so must go back to bed, even though it hurts. All my love forever, Angies xxxxx
