Christmas Eve

When I talked yesterday of enduring the supermarket, I had no idea how true that would be. We were in the queue for the check out for nearly an hour. Luckily, everyone was in a good mood and we had some interesting conversations. However, I came home from the experience quite exhausted and that led to me becoming very depressed. I have fought back from that I will try to keep it in mind that I mustn't let myself get too tired.

Later in the day

I have finally finished wrapping presents and have a strawberry and rhubarb pie in the oven. The triffle will have to wait till tomorrow. I just don't have the energy for it. I watched an interesting documentary on the man who produced Singing in the Rain. He started as a song lyrisist (wrote Singing in the Rain), became an assistant producer and finally headed up the most successful unit at MGM (Singing in the Rain, Meet me in St. Louis, GiGi, Showboat, American in Paris to name but a few). His name escapes me at the moment but if anyone is interested I will look it up. Then again, maybe I'm the only one who likes musicals.
