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!!
Sounds like a nice purposeful day without being too energetic-enjoy! I didn’t get to sewing yesterday but it’s very cold and frosty today so I may just manage it today. Catriona
ReplyDeleteIt was very pleasant. Most days are, to be honest. Sometimes I wonder if I am idling my life away but it is such a blessing to have time for me after so many decades of teaching.
DeleteHoping you got your sewing done. xx
I had to go look up the book. Sounds like an interesting read.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have got a lot accomplished. I really need to get back into the decluttering mode. All the things laying around are beginning to bother me!
Clutter has that effect, doesn't it? It is OK at first but . . .
DeleteYes, I think the book looks interesting. I haven't started it yet, but the time will come . . . :-) xx
Three Santas!! You've obviously gotten really good at this, I have yet to get a second one ... I must do better!!
ReplyDeleteLOL. You can see why I HAD to keep going. xx
DeleteI must look up Santa Drop!
ReplyDeleteJanice, the one I play is part of the Jacquie Lawson Advent calendar (day 6, to be precise). I don't know if it is available elsewhere. xx
DeleteIs your other blog still up and running? I seem to be blocked now from reading it - by invitation only. I'm sorry if I have missed something. Hope your day goes well.
ReplyDeleteHi, Laura. Thank you so much for asking. I had some worrying/stressing scam issues so I closed it down completely. I will be starting another one with the same name and the same aims but with tighter security and I will post the link in this blog so keep reading. I hope it will start on New Year's Day.
DeletePeople say I seem very upbeat but this was a worry (and a known scam, it seems) and it really got me down, hence the sudden closure.
I really appreciate your comment, thank you. xx
Thanks, Joy. I really appreciate your response - good to know! So sorry you've had issues with scammers, etc.
