Had a vile time obtaining a tree at Borough Market: it was in a pot which made it too heavy to lift. I tried Dorothy and Julian: no answer, then remembered it had been their office party the night before. Eventually persuaded the seller to put it in a cab, and the cab driver to put it in my sitting room with heavy tipping so it ended up costing twice as much.
Later Dorothy and Julian arrived to get it into a bucket and get the decorations down, then they went off to attend two parties tonight. For some reason the lights are missing so I just went ahead without them, but added some of the fifties type candles which I may light on Christmas evening. It looks a bit bare, but very green.
