It was just the family and my mother, we ate late and opened our presents late as well. Visited a few neighbours for a mulled wine and waited for our large turkey to be ready to eat. Late eating compared to other years but it was nice all the same. Had to drop my mum home so wasn't able to drink much, just a glass of vino with dinner, so fresh as a daisy today. Watched Anna Karenina on tv in bed last night, such a lavish set and costumes. Keira Knightly is luminously beautiful. Also watched the last 45 mins of Downton, forgot it was on ..............sob!!
Today has been relaxing, just getting organised, putting the china away, hanging up the gifted clothing, throwing away wrapping paper (that cannot be recycled) and just decluttering. Dinner is sorted as its left overs, plus there is a mountain of sweet desserts and cheeses to be eaten.
Have to drop DD2 to her bus as she is heading to the boyfriends and then collect her later on so won't be partaking of much vino tonight either. Maybe just a glass when I get back. Due to the wetness of the day was unable to get out for a walk with the dog. Tomorrow hope to get out for a walk and also to visit mum as we haven't been to Dad's grave yet this christmas.
Now going to settle down to Leinster v Munster in Thomond Park, a local derby if there ever was one.
