venetia_sassy*yawns* Tea and talk and food and flowers. Good day.
I think I made roughly the right amount of food in the end - except for the marshmallows and caramels but I didn't want to fiddle with reducing the recipes first time out. I did send Kitt and Rena home with extras though so it's all good!
We haphazardly exchanged presents today (we never manage to be organised about this) - some Christmas presents plus a couple of birthday gifts for me! Flowers from Rena and a crazy but gorgeous platter from Pip. Her Christmas presents to us were tea cozies and trivets since we are fond of tea parties! Pink for me, green for Kitt and purple for Rena. So very us. And Kitt went op shopping and Rena now has a polka-dotted cravat, Pip has a patchwork skirt and I have a lovely sheer embroidered black poncho (yes, poncho! No, she is not an MCR fan.)

Mum went to look at rugs today and the rug guys are bringing several here tomorrow so we can see them in the living room. And Mum's new mattress is arriving tomorrow as well! So many new things ... we used the new fan today and the four of us watched in fascination as the blades came out - then turned it off so we could watch them retract. Yes, we are dorks.
