Carol singing
Had two lots of carol singing yesterday with the choir. In the morning we went to a day centre for people with learning difficulties, which really made me thankful for all Ed and I have in life. The carers were wonderful, with endless patience, and some relatives came as well to listen. What a vocation to work with people with learning difficulties – not something I could do.
In the evening we sang at a candlelit carol service in a local church. Naturally – in a church without heating – it was the coldest night of the winter so far, but we enjoyed ourselves and hopefully the congregation did too.
Today Ed and I went to the golf club for a special Christmas game where everyone has to wear a silly hat (yes, I know. We’re utterly childish, but it’s fun) only to find that it’s been so wet the golf course was closed. And the forecast for tonight is several inches of snow, although we’ve only had the odd flurry so far.
Fortunately, we don’t have to travel anywhere before Sunday, by which time any snow will almost certainly have melted into slush. We don’t seem to get lasting snow these days, more’s the pity. I love it; Ed hates it!
It would be great to have a white Christmas, but that hasn’t happened for years and years, so I don’t suppose there’s much chance. But here’s hoping!
