Got cut off in my prime by surprised publication of my last post
I am an inveterate list-maker. I have 2 lists - A & B. A hopefully to be done today and B likely to drift into the future until some item becomes urgent and then swiftly moves over to list A.Christmas lists start at the end of November when the P.O. urges us to send our cards to far-flung outposts of Empire to get there in time for Christmas. This I duly do and find my cards arrive in Sri Lanka or wherever in the first week of December!
Being obsessed with food my first list is of ingredients for Christmas fare. Then cards and stamps. There is talk of removing the Queen's head from the stamps. A good job they didn't this year.as with the grotesque creatures on this year's stamps I wouldn't know which way up to put them.
Preparations start with making lists
This happens at the end of November.
Food, cards and presents must be bought
Something for each family member.
Is there anyone not on the list
now lying on the kitchen table?
Oh yes. We had almost forgotten
The Holy Baby born in a stable.

Ramblings of a nonagenerian (vintage 1923). Grew up in Lambeth in the 20s and 30s. Lived and worked in London during World War II. I have been attempting to do the Telegraph Cryptic Crossword since 1939! (My daughter says I *have* to write this, but I am troubled as it sounds so conceited.) I bought my first computer aged 85 and am continually frustrated by the vagaries of the technological age.
