The day we have all be waiting for

Today is the day of our Christmas Lunch. Preparations have been hectic all week, and they are continuing as we - well, I, really - speak. The dough for the rye bread has been rising since yesterday evening. The herings are marinating in the fridge. And much, much, more.
Today is also the day when Scottish bloggers, like myself, were going to meet in real life, face to face, in a pub in Edinburgh. Needless to say, I have had to cancel my appearance. I hope you have a good time there.
Sofie was up early this morning to help out in the local Colinton Arts shop just up the street. She will be working until four o'clock in the afternoon.
