A LAZY DAY (3)

The vagaries of the calendar mean that there is an extra day to prepare for Christmas this year. I did have plans for that day (today), but I'm afraid they did not materialise. I didn't get up until midday, having spent the morning reading a very interesting chapter in Reformation on the Catholic renewal in the 1540's that led to the Counter-Reformation. Then I watched the world handball championship bronze medal match (Denmark beat Poland), baked some mince pies, checked my mole traps, fetched my son home from Odense, had salmon for dinner (part of my workplace Christmas gift), and finally watched a very good Danish thriller Kongekabale. Altogether a lazy day.
