So Christmas consisted of me feeling pretty homesick (missing the festive family fun) and napping for quite a lot of it. But Michelle, Izzy, Paige and I booked a 4-course Christmas lunch at our neighbour Hebe 101 to celebrate, before opening presents dans ma maison. Average roast turkey, some good mushroom soup, and swimmer crab and avocado in a Bloody Mary dressing (best part of the meal).

Our Christmas Corner looking all cute and starry, courtesy of mainly the one strip of tinsel I bought and the many gifts that Louise shipped all the way from Canada. And I received a tin of macarons from a student, and wrapping level = Asian.
