Wednesday - New Year's Day

Good morning and Happy New Year Morning to us all!  It's foggy out there, real fog, not just mist, but I've just been to look and it is clearing slowly and I can see to the top of the cul de sac.  It's also cold; it must be close to freezing.

Yesterday was a very pleasant day indeed.

I bustled about in the morning, getting things ready for my visitors.  John and Dad arrived, shortly followed by Beth and our little friend, L.  Dinner was lovely, albeit simple.  The turkey and leek pie was totally scrummy, definitely one to do again.  There was a bit left and Dad went home with it, together with a few sprouts and a little pot of gravy and that dealt with all the leftovers.

It was great to see John.  Because we stagger our visits to Dad and anyway, he lives in Scotland and still works so can't come right down here nearly as often as he would like, it's been quite a while since the last meeting.
Dad seems well enough, much better than he was in December.  I shall be seeing him again this weekend, health and fate permitting!

After John and Dad had gone, Beth took L home and then came back and we spent the afternoon/evening chatting, playing Scrabble, eating, drinking and watching telly.  I had recorded Calendar Girls so we watched that with great enjoyment.  I'd forgotten quite how funny it is, sometimes very understated and clever and sometimes great big belly laughs.

We were so tired, we went to bed without clearing anything up, but I set to earlier and it really didn't take long and now the dishwasher is earning its space yet again.

Today is really a day to get back to normal - or, at least, as normal as can be.

I will be bringing the three big Christmas boxes down once I've had my bath and got dressed and they will stack up in a corner so that each decoration I remove can go away in it's proper place.  I gave the boxes a good tidy up/clear out in January last year so as long as I make sure everything goes in the right place, they will remain nice and tidy.  I'm hoping to have everything away in the next couple of days so that on Monday all I have to do is the tree itself.

I've decided that, while I will put away the festive candle holders, I will brighten up January by burning down the red candles.  I don't want to keep half used candles for next Christmas but, equally, I don't want to waste them.  A happy compromise.

The poinsettias are still looking pretty good so I will keep nurturing them and cross my fingers.  I have five of them, three that I bought and then two that I was given (after I'd bought the three!)  They really do brighten up the corners of the living/dining room so well.



I'm right out of sprouts and broccoli; we can't have that, can we, so I'll take a stroll down to Morrisons.  I don't think there's anything else I need.  Oh, yes, I do - onions.  I think I'd better check the veg situation before I go out!

The other pretty urgent thing to do is ironing.  It's getting desperate as the basket is piled high now and it's got to the point where I can't really ignore it any longer.  It's things like tea towels (yes, I do iron them as space is limited and they take up less room ironed and anyway, they're nicer to use), sheets, hankies, tablecloths, napkins . . . slightly dull but at least I can watch telly or a DVD as I work.

But first my coffee mug is empty so that needs dealing with. 

Have a great first day of 2020, whatever you have planned.

    1. Thanks, Sue. No bright sky here yet but the fog is now a slight mist so that's good.
      It's just too easy to not see that ironing, isn't it?

    2. How to recover your money from forex schemes, brokers, binary, fake investments proposals or funds recovery from other platforms. 
      Investment scam is all over the place in recent time and due to greediness people fall victim daily to bogus promises.
      I was scammed on investing in bxtcoin.com ensuring a guaranteed return. I sent them 1.0089BTC . This was one of the biggest mistakes of my life, after which I got blocked and couldn’t contact them anymore.
      I felt so frustrated and devastated, not until I saw on YouTube a referral for a recovery agency Quadhacked@gmaiL.com , this agent saved my life , he helped me hack the rippers and I was able to recoup all I lost.
      I’m doing this because I know there are people out there falling for everyday scams, send a message to QUADHACKED@gmail.com  , Go get your money back .

  4. Commendations for keeping your poinsettias going and looking so well. They are so tricky to look after without all the leaves gradually dropping away each day.

    1. Thanks, Philip. They are dropping a bit, of course, but it's nice to keep them going as long as possible.

  5. Happy New Year Joy - I keep thinking I must adopt the Japanese method of a clean house to start the new year...but it never happens...I too have an ironing pile, receipts to deal with and decorations to put away - then there are the cards to take down and make into tags and money envelopes. I might just watch a film instead and begin tomorrow!! x

    1. I doubt I could ever have a totally clean house at any time. Somewhere, hidden maybe, there's bound to be clutter.
      I reckon watching a film (whether while ironing or not) is definitely the way to go!

  7. Happy New Year Joy! I spent the morning putting all the Christmas decorations away in the basement. We really enjoyed them this year, and I will miss the tree lighting up the living room each evening. I've told my friend we have to take a little shopping trip next week to get a few winter-but-not-Christmas things to cozy up the décor. Thank you Joy for your lovely blog which I so enjoy reading every day!

    1. There's a real sadness when they all come down and go away, isn't there. I think getting a few bright substitutes is a really good idea. Happy hunting and thank you for your kind words.

  8. I, too, iron dish towels and in this wash there were all the napkins from Christmas dinner to iron, too. But I don't iron sheets and towels so, usually my ironing takes me 20 minutes. I do it on Sunday morning. All my decorations are away and I have a few quiet days before my usual activities start up again next week.

  11. HOW TO GET BLANK ATM CARD AND WITHDRAW
    UNLIMITED CASH
    This is the happiest moment of my life having no longer to worry about paying bills as i have been settled for life. A lot has been said about Atm hacking and blank card for cash withdrawal but it all seemed like a myth to me until i eventually lost my job few months back and the world seemed to be moving backwards. I went online in search of jobs and means to an end and there i found comments about harryblankatmharckers and how they deliver this card in less than 7 days with no risk involved and a far much lesser price compared to what the card itself can give you, i then made contact and purchase one from them with almost my last dollars I took the risk and in exactly 6 days latter my card and a manual was delivered to my home address here in California and that same evening i used the card was able to take out $5000 for a start its been just 3 weeks and my life has taken a new shape. I simply want to say thank you to this electronic company and help spread their fame abroad. If you ever are in need of this card contact them via email :dicksonharryblankatmharckers@gmail.com .....
    Don't mail them if you not really ready for this card is gonna cost you money to buy the card note that,they offer card to firms, orphans,individual and business personnel's mail them immediately .....

I got it from Him last week and now I have withdrawn about $10,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it because it is blank just your PIN will be on it, it is not traceable and now I have money for business, shopping and enough money for me and my family to live on.I am really glad and happy i met phantom hackers because I met Five persons before him and they could not help me. But am happy now Thomas hackers sent the card through DHL and I got it in two days.

    by “brokers” over the telephone to deposit additional funds into the customer account.
    When customers later attempt to withdraw their original deposit or the return they have been promised, the trading platforms allegedly cancels customers’ withdrawal requests, refuse to credit their accounts, or ignore their telephone calls and emails.

    2. 🔘Manipulation of software to generate losing trades:
    These complaints allege that the Internet-based Investment and trading platforms manipulate the trading software to distort the Trading prices and payouts in order to ensure that the trade results in a Loss.
