What are you all up to

Our day has been the other way round to yours Bakers.  Beautiful sunny morning and then the fog came down.  Yesterday was glorious here and I needed my sunglasses when we went out for a walk. No walk today.  Into town this morning as there are 2 birthdays next week I needed to buy for and didn't  get round to it before Christmas. I managed to get two really nice presents in the sales. Indoors this afternoon with the heating and the fire on.

I am always very careful about who I send Christmas cards to JayEss as I really wouldn't wish to offend.  Having said that our Sikh neighbours are always one of the first to give us a card and love to get one in return.

I think we've been celebrating this time of the year long before it was re-invented to stop us roasting each other on log fires.  

Grandson will be arriving early tomorrow for a short stay. His Mum and Dad are going to a "no children" wedding and dad is also best man, we had a taste of the speech which was very funny. I am conserving some energy this evening, we also have to attempt to pack the van at the same time. I would really like just to loll around for a few days. 

 Been to the "Garlic Farm" this afternoon,stocking up on 'smoked' and plain varieties.Mmmm .Bought some 'Garlic Beer ' too !!  !!Not too sure about that one ,but as it's for a friend ,not bothered ,might just have a taste when he opens it .Clear blue and golden sky again ,so looks like another frost.Packing away tonight as off to 'Longleat ' in the morning    HEADS UP " Tricky Spotters " A36/A362..

Fairly lazy day today, just a bit of washing (3 loads) done and now ironed. 2 more loads to do but they can wait another day or so.

Weather still quite mild, had lovely sunshine first thing but clouded over later.

Quick visit to Dr's for both of us to get our chests checked, following chest infections while away, glad to say we are both on the road to recovery no more signs of wheezing and crackles

Eldest son arrived up late on Monday (staying with in laws) coming out to see us tomorrow which just happens to be his birthday!  they've not got long up here as they are going back down the road on the 30th/31st. Hopefully we will get the van back in the New Year and be able to go down to them for a visit.

Had 4 days of getting up late (9 o'clock ) ,tomorrow for 3days up at 5.30  to reopen the shop , now ,where did I put the alarm clock????

Oh well - won't be long before next Christmas comes round.

Have you noticed how that time seems to be speeding up as we get older and slower?

You say that, sure I saw Cadbury's Creme Eggs in the Co-Op today
