This probably doesn't mean anything to you but apparently today is the first day of the 'newer beta blogger'. With luck that means that you won't have any further problems posting comments. Time will tell!
As I look out my window, I can't see that much! For the last two days we have had very heavy fog. It's at moments like these that I would happily be somewhere where there is lots of snow. Not for long, mind you. However, my friend in Reno sent a postcard today with a beautiful picture of Lake Tahoe on it. I could enjoy that view over fog for quite a long time! (By the way Emjay, no package yet.)
No chemo effects anymore except the strange feeling in my fingers. However, I am now on the countdown to the next chemo treatment on December 28th. Naomi, my oldest daughter, will be coming down on the 27th and is going to come with me for the day of chemo. I may suggest that she goes into Guildford for part of the time since I know how she feels about hospitals and needles.
I have nearly finished all my Christmas preparations. I'm so glad I got much of it done before I went back to school. How are you doing? I've decided that I am going to work hard (not too hard) next year to do the same and be finished most preparations by December 1st. I also plan to simplify Christmas but not Christmas dinner. I do enjoy preparing for and cooking the Christmas feast. Peter, my brother, is coming for dinner and we will be meeting his partner Marketa (hope I spelled it correctly!) for the first time. She does not eat meat so I am looking for recipes for a fish course. Anyone have any ideas? I suppose it depends on the type of fish I can find. There is a good fish monger in Virginia Water so I will go along on Saturday and see what I can find.
On Friday I'm going to try and go up to London. I was talking to a lady on the bus about it yesterday and she made me realize that I'm not really going there to pick up a tart or buy a few last minute items, but to enjoy the buzz of the season and look at the windows.
Did you hear about what happened to Hamleys in London? That is the big toy store on Regent's Street. They have lost millions on an internet mistake that had people buying at heavily discounted prices. Click on Hamleys above for the link.
I just went hunting for that story and have discovered that Hamley's had decided not to sell the toys after all. Apparently people are upset. However, you can't really blame Hamleys.

Beta Blogger...that should help...yes, the buzz of Christmas is exciting. Am sure it will be especially exciting in London. Glad the card arrived...fingers crossed that the package makes it on time. It should be there by now buy maybe delayed in Customs? Fish dishes....you're right, depends on what's available. If you've some white wine handy, poachinf ia always good with some pretty lemon and chopped green something or other for garnish. We're off shortly to meet Mike's sister for a Christmas lunch. We've a reservation at one of those old California Gold Rush Days hotels. We moved it up a day as there is a majot snow storm monving in for tomorrow and there isa good chance it will close Donner Pass for part of the day, making it almost impossible to drive over the mountains. Good to her you are enjoying the season. Your Christmas card is beautiful. More later...now to Beta Blogging.
