Feeling festive

I had my first glass of mulled wine today. Had a small Christmas gathering for the contributors to the magazine here at home. Very nice to see everyone and have a chance to chat. There would have been Christmas cake, too, but I got distracted while it was cooking and it was too incinerated to inflict on anyone. I made a lemon polenta cake instead and it went down well. More party prep tomorrow as we have a bigger gathering here on Friday....
