Hi MGAS,

My abject apologies. I planned to make you a present to go with the others and I have had the makings for a couple of weeks but I fell over and hurt my right wrist and forearm (I'm right-handed) and haven't been able to make it. I am hoping to make it today. I think I will be able to do it.

I should have bitten the bullet and sent the first lot of presents and then sent this one when it was finished, but I kept thinking that my wrist/arm would get better and in fact it seems to have gotten worse this week. The Doctor just phoned and said he suspects it may have a small fracture and I have to go for a scan this week.

So, everything WAS under control, but then went totally pear-shaped. I hope to post your parcel early this week but don't panic if it doesn't arrive by Christmas, please.

And I am truly sorry. I hope the wait will be worthwhile and that you like your pink fluffy Fijian dougals when they arrive. :-)

Your abjectly apologetic Secret Santa.
