Disorganised

Unfortunately, I seem to have managed not yet to send any Christmas cards. We've spent part of the evening writing cards which should at least get sent tomorrow, but the chances of them getting to anyone before Christmas are now somewhat smaller than they ought to be. I also don't have home addresses for lots of friends in any case, so lots of you having already left Cambridge makes it somewhat difficult to send cards. (And for many of those, they're not going to see this till after Christmas anyway. Sigh...)

Anyway: to one and all reading this, a very happy Christmas, and next year I shall try to be a little less helpless. Hopefully I shall see some of you this evening?

It *is* the last posting day today. So they're "guarenteed" to get there. I've sent cards after last posting and had them turn up on time too...

I mention this only because I too am up at 8.30 in the morning trying to write christmas cards from a very incomplete list of addresses on the last posting day... :-(

That's the theory, yes. Unfortunately experience suggests that post to and from our village tends to take longer than it should even at the best of times, which of course this isn't... A noticeable amount also gets entirely lost, as far as we can tell. And for cards to friends living abroad, I'm already 10 days past last recommended posting.

They're doing better this year, at least: last year post only got delivered to us at all every third day or so.

Don't worry, I forgot entirely.
