I decorated my tree today and put it in a different spot. Usually i have it in front of the window and occasionally i've had it in the corner by the window. This year I thought I'd put it up away from the window, in the doorway to the dining room which I never use anyway and it looks very nice, I think.

I made some "Eccles cakes" too and they turned out quite well. Eccles Cakes are a pastry that are popular in the north of England. Eccles is near Salford and Manchester. They are puff pastry filled with a mixture of currants, sugar, butter and orange zest. Yummy with tea or coffee.

Tomorrow I shall try to get some gifts wrapped and one ready to mail on Monday. I also need to try out my work laptop and see if i can get connected from here. I'm dubious that it will work all correctly the first time in but I may have to get some network adjustments to make sure i'm in the right groups etc. It will be nice to have that option, to work from home, sometimes, especially if there's bad weather forecast. Over Christmas my coworker and I are sharing "on call" duties for emergencies so I need to ahve it working by then or else if i do get a call i'll have to go in. It's usually pretty quiet through Christmas week.
