Jo bought a cake and
the packaging staples injured her hand. Pauline took her desert from our
Christmas lunch and shared it with her family. Di went to RPA hospital last
week. Leonie went to Demetries at Wandandian for breakfast – a lovely building
but had to wait because of a big crowd. David C enjoyed our Christmas lunch
yesterday. Elizabeth Japan
