Been distracted
I’ve been distracted from blogging this week by playing a new game when I have time to get on the computer. M’s been playing Runescape alot and persuaded his auntie and some friends to go on at the same time as him and travel round together. Runescape is starting to annoy me now though with the quests all being to do with killing higher level monsters. I can’t be bothered going around killing things just for the sake of it. But I think I have a short attention span or something and don’t like sticking with one thing for ages LOL. So anyway I went off and Googled for non violent role play games and found A Tale in the Desert 3 so I’ve been trialling that this week. It’s set in Ancient Egypt and is a co-operative game where you chat to people and share skills to benefit the whole of Egyptian society and work your way through tests. Don’t know how long I’ll stick with it, but it’s distracting me from Christmas preparations for the time being LOL.
Apart from computer games, this week we’ve been writing Christmas cards, making decorations and starting decorating the house. On Wednesday we read about St Lucia and made St Lucia buns and I tried making those Swedish paper hearts but they were so fiddly I only made one and gave up on the idea of doing some with M.
We put the tree up last night but only got half the lights on. We’ve finished it off this evening.
We’ve also been into Norwich today to a Christmas through the ages thing in the cathedral, followed by a candlelit procession round the cathedral telling the nativity story and singing carols. I think we’ve got presents all bought now, though not wrapped yet. The food shopping is going to have to be done late this week so I hope the supermarket is not too heaving. We’ve at least got a turkey and a Christmas pud in the house now though, so doesn’t matter if they sell out of those LOL.
i had a look at st lucia type crafts - SB thought we should dress BB up, i think I persuaded her that at the very least the house would catch fire. Bless her, but she thinks she would be a safer bet!!!

LOL, I think in Sweden they have wreaths with electric candles to avoid that. But don’t like your chances of getting your breakfast brought to you without spillages!
