Abi went to school yesterday but stayed home again today. Her throat is still very sore and she has a low grade fever. She only had a half day of school today because it is "career day" so if she was going to miss another day of school....today was a good day.

When Abi was at school yesterday she saw our Christmas tree. It is still hanging around the school along with six other trees. They said the tree men was overwhelmed with deliveries. I am assuming the trees are all being delivered on the back of a bicycle. Imagine a 2 meter tall potted Christmas tree on the back of a bike. We see things like this every day.....I am amazed what they can carry on a bike. Several times we have seen a man with 10 or more wicker chairs tied to his bike.

I am just hanging around the house today with Abi and working on a quilt. I went to the little bakery by our apartments this morning and it was pretty cold outside. Maybe winter is going to stay this time.
