Outings.

Two outings in a week!

Thankfully my husband was well enough to go to the one on Friday, a performance of Tchaikovsky's 'The Nutcracker' by the St Petersburg Ballet Theatre company.

Our 'Hall for Cornwall' in Truro has a wide and varied number of productions, and this was sensational. We are so fortunate in that a whole row on the flat is kept for disabled and wheelchair bound people, so we always get very good seats.

What a performance it was, with exquisite costumes, a wonderful orchestra, and dancing  that swept us away in wonder.

And the second outing?

Well, perhaps  a little less exciting but very worthwhile.

Every year our Doctors Surgery holds a Charity coffee morning and asks for unwanted Christmas presents to be donated. It was nice to catch up with some old friends and see the Nurses and receptionists out of 'uniform' as they busily sold Raffle tickets.

I bought several, though we rarely win anything. And also , a Cauliflower and half a dozen eggs. The unwanted presents took up most of a room, rather sad really, but people were buying them.

So now the programme is for a restful weekend after all that excitement!
