Week 40 - Christmas Week

 Not a relaxing week, with lots of driving and seeing relatives and friends (next week is going to be my down time).

Finally heard officially that I didn't get the promotion, but I will get the opportunity to act in a higher position in the new year. My director rang me on Christmas Eve, so not the Christmas present I was hoping for, but it wasn't unexpected.

Wednesday I brought my aunt up to my place to meet the cat (who was terrified by the meeting) and to hand her over to my cousin, who she was going to be staying with over the next few days. I was delayed getting down there but it all came together. The only other issue was that I managed to get sun burnt on my  head (which is very uncomfortable).

Christmas Day I went with my friend to a Christmas dinner put on by some of his friends and had a nice time. Boxing Day will be spent with the family at one of their homes.

My dad had a busy Christmas Day, with visits from his friend Gwen and my sisters for the exchange of gifts and he got a Christmas Dinner from one of my sisters. I think he had a very nice Christmas, he got to see everyone but didn't have to spend a lot of time with them.

Thankfully he and my sisters are not in an area that will become Tier 4 on Boxing Day, but doesn't sound like he will be going anywhere soon and he expects (and I agree) that the virus will spread even further than those hot spots.
