30-12-25 and the Fifth Day of Christmas

Morning, one and all, and welcome to Tuesday.  It's turned cold - no frost but there's an 'icy' feel and smell if you know what I mean.  The forecast isn't too encouraging either - of the opposite, if you like snow.  I used to but it's more of a nuisance now, the kind of snow we get here!

On the fifth day of Christmas

I gave unto myself . . . 

one book to read

two smelly soaps

one reed diffuser

warm, fluffy socks

and a Jamie Oliver book

I think one of you mentioned this book somewhere - was it one of the Sues?  Anyway, I liked the look of it, the reviews are good and, having finished the Richard Coles book (not a very long book), this looks perfect for snuggling in my corner under the fleece with a cuppa.

I'm in a rush.  After a very late night, I slept until half past seven and I have a Groove online class at nine.

If I will start playing the Santa Drop game at around half nine (three Santas, Sue.  Yay!!) and five minutes later it is almost midnight, should I be surprised?

The clutter clearing is going OK.  AT least I can now get to some of the surfaces to dust!  The maple leaf blanket is also going well and my whole corner feels much more organised again now the unnecessary yarn (is there such a thing???) is up and away.
OK, so the living room table is a right mess but I don't want to bring the boxes in until everything is ready to put away in them.  Then they can go straight in the garage until next November!

Today is more of the same really.  No wonder the days are just smerging into each other.  

Must go or I will be late for the start of Groove.  Stay warm and cosy, have a lovely day and see you tomorrow.  xx

Edit:  Ooops, nearly forgot - I have an opticians appt today - glad I remembered that!!
