Morning all, cold and wet and looks to be the same for days to come. Lovely strawberries @Pat E and that cake looks very good @Nanny Beach Have a wonderful time with your family @Hostafan1 and of course take plenty of rest @punkdoc. OH managed to download a calendar for me when the printer wanted to give up after "June" just need to find a way to keep it together without a binding machine. I really must write my Christmas cards today.
Morning all. Stayed awake long enough to finish the book, then back to sleep till 9am. Hope everyone has a good day, safe journey, and whatever else you have lined up. Good thing about thinking through problems in the night is that I occasionally come up with a solution I hadn’t considered before. Now planning to move a small cupboard to the garage, and redeploying some garden stuff from the utility room. Just need to check the measurements!
Hello everyone. Sunny morning so far which was unexpected. I too had a wakeful night with lots of reading so didn't surface till 10am. Have been busy making bread and starting a Borrowdale tea bread for the neighbours (broken wrist so not easy cooking) and that meant chopping apricots and prunes and preserved ginger cos I have to go off piste with the mixed fruit here.
Rain and potential storms expected all afternoon and evening so we'll not go to the Xmas market after all. Need to put a waistband on OH's trousers and hem them then I can do some sewing for me tho I have an Xmas patchwork I'd like to tackle too.
Crikey - rain has just started and is coming down in stair rods. The chooks won't like that! Stay safe and warm everyone.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Happy December everyone! I'm all behind but have caught up with all your posts. Happy belated birthday Granddad ( @Hostafan1 ). Hope everyone has caught up with their sleep now. Nice to see you still here on this thread @punkdoc. Safe flight @Busy-Lizzie you should be in the air as I write this. OH has had booster and I have at at last planted the apple tree. My booster is on Tuesday as I didn't want to risk side effects for tomorrow's Street Market. I need to be on the street at 6.45am tomorrow. I know that's like the middle of the morning for many of you and you have done a full wash and baked a cake by then, but I am not an early bird. But I have been getting up earlier each day to get in training and have been sleeping well - just hope I get some sleep tonight as it will be a long day tomorrow. Nice and sunny here at the moment - let's hope it stays that way! Strictly tonight!
