christmas eve eve happy things
It was a good day, mainly because we decided to just spend it together. I fairly often feel a bit over-stretched and like I'm not having enough time to relax and just hang out with mrcameraman, so it was good to spend a bit of time together. Go out for lunch, get a few bits and bobs for each other, talk and generally relax. Even though town was stupidly busy, it didn't stress me out, because we hadn't got any real objective other than wandering around.

I'd been at work for a couple of hours before that and was really touched, because my employer gave me a bag full of presents, which was a total surprise. She's ace, I've learned a lot from her this past year and a bit, it's been a massive learning experience and kind of inspirational too.

I still felt fairly chilled during the evening and spend ages happily making stock and inventing Christmassy food. (And forcing R to take pictures of it, which I'll probably stick up here at some point.) I like smashing vegetables.
