"Do you know what?" she said.
"No. What?"
"I'm FIVE!"
It was a very exciting time for her as it was the last day of school before the Christmas holidays, there was snow on the ground, and she was going to the pantomime in the evening.
We drove over today, leaving behind four inches of snow here in Norwich, but finding there was almost none in Bury St. Edmunds. We unloaded the birthday presents, played with some of those she received yesterday, and had lunch. Then we came home, as this afternoon she has twelve friends to a Kid's Play party. (This is a brilliant way of saving your own home getting trashed by a dozen over-excited five-year-olds. You take them out and let them race around an indoor play area with climbing frames, slides, ball pools and so on. Then you give them tea and birthday cake and a party bag, and send them all home.)
I'm also engaged in setting up another blog, this time in an Author's Blog site - more about that when I have it properly up and running. Trouble is, all these new sites mean a steep learning curve, so I find myself struggling.
Tomorrow is our carol service at church, then it's eyes down until next Friday, Christmas Eve, when I shall be preaching at the midnight service and up again to take the nine-o'clock service next morning.
Then it's the family over for Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and after that, zzzzz (that's me asleep.)
