Friday 24 December:

Christmas Eve! Up early (as usual!), bathed, breakfasted and caught up on various domestic tasks in preparation for tomorrow (refuse/recycling, present-wrapping, organising drinks etc). Moira and I both took LFT tests - with negative results, thankfully.
Went to the library and then popped into the cathedral briefly before lunch.
Finished my Japanese detective book after lunch… with cathedral bells ringing in the background.
Given the number of recent Covid cases (122,000 UK cases yesterday), Moira and I decided not to participate in any of the church services – which was a shame because we quite fancied the idea of Midnight Mass at our neighbouring cathedral.
Alan rang in the afternoon and we had a good chat.
Watched an old Christmas episode of ‘Yes Minister’ – it was spookily called “Party Games” and involved the prime minister resigning!! You couldn’t make it up…
Evening telly: ‘Repair Shop’ and ‘Portrait Winner’.
