Christmas tipples

It’s 12th December and I still haven’t had any mulled wine. This is a travesty! Where is my mulled wine? I intend to rectify this terrible oversight by the end of the weekend, hopefully whiling away a chilly Sunday afternoon in a pub with sofas. I did achieve my other favourite winter drink this afternoon; after tramping over Wimbledon Common and through Wimbledon Village (the shops of which were beautifully festive but still way out of my price range), I treated myself to a decaf skinny gingerbread latte – mmm, pointless coffee.
Although our flat is too tiny for a proper Christmas tree, I’ve been doing my best to make it look festive. My birthday orchid dropped its last flower a few weeks ago, making it the perfect hanger for a few sparkly baubles; last year’s fairy lights are still twinkling in the alcove, and my attempt at dried orange decorations are catching the light in the window. I also have a tiny poinsettia nestling in with Frank and the other cacti. Just one more present to knit and I’m ready for Christmas!
