deird11) Walked down to election booth to vote. Voting seems to be quite civilised in these parts: lots of polite people holding out "how to vote for my party!" forms, and when you say "sorry, not voting for you" they smile and go over to someone else.
2) Had my traditional post-voting breakfast at Maccas, with Mum.
3) Did HUGE amounts of gardening. Garden is suddenly much less weedy and much less overflowing with plants.
4) Mourned sudden loss of flute-playing ability. Considered selling it, or giving it away. Mentioned this to Mum - who asked if she could borrow it and have a go...
5) Watched lots of AtLA.
6) Saw boyfriend - briefly - who came over to borrow dice.
7) Had dinner with sister, brother-in-law, Caleb, and Nathan. Lots of crying and general bedtime chaos.
8) Went to church. Advent has begun! Lots of purple candles and tinsel.
9) Saw boyfriend - less briefly - who was very tired and trying nobly not to fall asleep on my couch.
10) Had dinner with other sister, brother-in-law, Alex, and Josh. Lots of card games with Alex, who is very enthusiastic but not quite aware of all the rules.
11) Came home and watched House.
12) Wrote blog post.

Our Advent candles (URC - sort of Scottish Presbyterian outside Scotland!) are red with a central white one. As the Children's Elder it is my responsibility to do the ring. As we are snowed up today it is a good thing that I went in and did it after church on Friday! I'll post a picture of it on my LJ later.

He seems a nice sort of boyfriend.
