Greeting card time

Another cold grey day, but no rain thankfully. I woke up and posted the WhatsApp link to today's Morning Prayer before 'Thought for the Day'. Owain was already up and about, getting ready to make his way to the HMRC building in Central Square. He brought his work laptop with him, but forgot his comfortable earphone headset with mic, so he borrowed one of the several mobile phone headsets I have accumulated over the years. Thankfully it worked OK for him.

There were eleven of us at the St Catherine's Eucharist, including Ann and her nonagenarian mother whose birthday is today. There was a celebratory cake after the service and we sang happy birthday. Clare was already cooking lunch by the time I got home with the veg bag. 

After we'd eaten I glued the car's wing mirror cover to its mounting, to make sure it resists violent gusts of wind in future. Then I went to buy more Christmas cards at a shop on Cowbridge Road, before doing a circuit of Llandaff Fields, arriving home just after sunset.

As the Christmas card mailing deadline is nearly upon, I had to devote the evening to printing newsletters and address labels for envelopes, then writing greetings and stuffing envelopes. All the cards I bought had nothing printed inside them, so signing them turned out to be a slow task with only a third of the job done by bed time.
