This is our first Christmas with no one here but us when we woke up. It was strange and actually made it feel as if it were just a regular day, except that the radio wasn't as good. This makes me wonder about Christmas. Was it only ever the children's holiday? What is an adult Christmas like? I'm about to find out! Peter and his partner,Marketa, and Emma and Mike should arrive in the next few hours. I haven't been to church this year. In fact I haven't left the house since Saturday's visit to Waitrose (supermarket). I just don't have the energy.
After dinner
We had a lovely visit with Peter and Marketa. They brought their instruments and played and sang for us. They were wonderful. What a shame they couldn't have stayed longer. Mike and Emma stayed till 5 or so and then went on to dinner with Mike's parents. Peter and Marketa left about 6:30. We watched Doctor Who at 7. It was as good as ever! The whole day was very low key. I suppose that it's just what I needed but it seemed rather flat.
Has anyone read any of the philosophy of Marcus Aurelius. I'm trying to find a good translation. I looked at the Penguin edition but it's rather dry. Suggestions would be appreciated.
