Evening all! Not been around for the last couple of days, been busy doing stuff. Had the day off work today and we went shopping - got most of the presents sorted - then we went to see The Hobbit.
I've not had a chance yet to catch up on the posts, will do that tomorrow probably.
Almost all the cards are written (managed to persuade OH to help this year!!) and the tree and various decorations are up. Progress has been made!
Hello Lottie. Glad you could make it. What did you think of the Hobbit? I was surprised to hear that it's being made in 3 parts and that this part is only up to p.130 or something.
I bought and wrote my cards for posting today and got them done - just hand- delivered ones to do now.
Whoopee! Suddenly remembered how to add vouchers to my order. Phew- some £ saved. Not totally happy though as the 1 had got by mail wasnt accepted. I even went back to the mail & rechecked the code, yep, tried again & no joy- grr!
Washer still on, am gradually working my way through all the washing. Keep getting static shocks off tumble dryer though- ouch!
Well,my tree is finally up--I decided not to cut one down, and used my 2 foot wrought iron garden obelisk and lots of cedar prunings to create one. The house smells lovely, and it is the perfect size--I will only be having company for 2 days over Xmas,and debated over having one at all. It looks great!!!!. I will be roasting a special free range chicken with all the trimmings--there's just the 2 of us.
Power outage last night was only for 5 hours--was surprised, as I was resigned to it being out at least overnight--the whole island was out. It wasn't blowing too bad here, but it was wild on the Gulf side. Supposed to be well below freezing tonight, though. Hauled lots of wood outside the back door.
