140 Christmas parcels

Beginning quite early this chilly and winter-sunny morning, we unloaded cars, sorted donated goods and made up 140 charity Christmas parcels for Llandaff Rotary to distribute today. It was amazing to see all of the food they collected this week in the villages of Llandaff and Radyr. (You can see the mostly completed pile o' parcels and assembly line to R.)

A point of interest: the nice homeless man who lives in the doorway of St. Martin's Parish Hall, about 60 yards up the hill, has a Rio Forge mp3 player. okaaaaay.....?

But I have a Peter Pan peanut butter and honey sandwich! :) And Graham gave me a bag of handmade chocolate truffles an hour ago (JUST what i need). Only have had two.... so far.

Per 100 g, there are 52.7 g of carbohydrates. Do not know exactly how to read labels successfully here since they don't tell you how much per serving, but I think this means a bloody heckuvalotta carbs.

Tonight, going to St. David's Hall for Carol Concert. Maurizio has gone to a carol concert at St. David's Hall with his girl this morning -- there is a lot of carolling going on during December here.

Today is further an excellent day since can call the US for FREE!!!!! (with my Royal Post phone card -- every month, you can call one country for free and this is the US's month -- bouncy, flouncy, trouncy, pouncy.)

And cannot believe that will be going to London exactly 6 days from right now!

I quite agree.
