The little tree is decorated. This must be the earliest we have ever completely decorated the Christmas tree in years,
And the better of the 5ft Christmas trees that seemed to be breeding in the loft has been collected. I added a carrier bag of baubles which are surplus to requirements and also too large for the new tree. I have kept the woolworths baubles which have come out every year since we married.
Back then we were living on an extremely tight budget, so those six baubles, three pieces of tinsel and a small artificial tree was all that we could afford. The tree and tinsel disintegrated decades ago, but the baubles live on as a memory of that first Christmas.

We spent the day in London, another routine appointment. Cardiology this time. Everything went well, the driving, finding ourway to a different part of the labyrinthine hospital buildings, and the consultation. In other words, no marked change, carry on as before. The consultant approves of marching on the spot as an alternative to outdoor exercise when it is too cold or wet so I will continue to get my steps in that way,
