Claire had her birthday, which was nice although due to the horrible summer we had it was a little to warm.
Finally had Christmas in my own house and for such a momentous occasion only a real tree would be sufficient. People were rather scathing of the glorious specimen above but at least Claire liked it.
We have been for a few walks in the bush at the back of the house although there is still a lot more I need to do once the leeches settle down for the winter. Mind you I have been leeched at least half a dozen times just walking around my lawn so I am starting to get used to it.
