Are We Stir Crazy Or What?

OK, what is everybody else up to this week who haven't had to struggle to work? We are sitting on our reupholstered settee watching snowy Christmas movies, eating Christmas chocolates and drinking lots of tea (sometimes with lebkuchen as well) We didn't even know what lebkuchen were exactly until Plum opened her new musical box, which was full of them. It plays Let It Snow! How prophetic is that? We haven't been entirely idle, however, we have now almost reached a point in time that we can't go any further back with our family trees unless we go on field trips to dig out parish records. We have got as far back as 1800 with each branch of our families. We are also finding little stories about many of them along the way. If only we could find photographs for all of them. We have spent this afternoon feeling guilty because we are not doing the jobs we should be doing down the plot but it must be like Siberia up on the Hill. We have watched the weather forecast and we have another five days holiday next week and so we suppose we will start on a jigsaw, maybe, play Boggle, maybe, quilt a little, play guitar a little, maybe, or just be as lazy as this week! Oh boy, do we love snow! But going out doesn't seem to be an option! This snowy weather is making us punchy, I think we may need rescuing... eventually.
