Woke around 0830. Got up to prepare the croissants. Kath popped out to see a client so we ate our croissants without her. Started to prepare the dinner…peeled the potatoes, sliced the parsnips and carrots, and put the turkey in cold water to finish the defrosting. Aki prepared smoked salmon blinis for the starter while I tried to time the different elements of the dinner, and steam the Christmas pud. Served up around 1430. Opened presents between courses. Everyone slumped onto the sofa and nodded off to the television. The Amandaland Xmas special was rather good. I prepared a simple buffet…but people weren’t hungry. Dad feeling a little nauseous after taking some morphine. Washed up and tidied the kitchen before bed…
