Morning, everyone! It's way too early to see what the weather is like but it's supposed to be OK with maybe just a little bit of rain later. Yesterday was lovely and sunny but I couldn;t line dry my washing because, at the moment, there's no hole in the ground for my rotary line. Shame.
It was a pretty gentle day yesterday. I got a message from Maxine to say the lads wouldn't be coming because of something 'their end' (no idea what) but they will be with me today. Hope so! I need a photo for tomorrow's blog!
Circuits was great - really good, as always. Lindsey is also having some work done, replacing her drive, so we didn't work outside. A shame because it was so lovely but not to worry.
I got the rest of the washing done plus the ironing so the baskets are empty. That won't last long, of course, but it is always a nice feeling.
When I opened the little wardrobe door to hang up my new cardigan, it was full of other cardigans so I had a sort out of them. Some have gone into the summer cupboard, some will be donated as I haven't work them for ages and I have no idea what possessed me to buy one - it's a horrible colour and I don't believe I have ever worn it.
I fixed Christmas Tree Day with Beth and Alex. It's going to be a week earlier than usual, partly because of time restraints and partly because I want to get my time's worth of my tree and I won't be around for the Twelve Days.
Christmas Tree Day is the day when Beth and Alex come round and we put up the Christmas Tree, have a buffet and a few drinks and watch a Christmas film or two. It started when Alex was a very little boy and has just continued since. While I was still working, it was on the weekend before Christmas, when I retired it changed to the first weekend in December but this year it's a week earlier as explained above.
And that was about it yesterday, apart from the daily houseworky stuff.
Today starts with Groove, then it's home for breakfast and then I might go into town on a thermals hunt. I might even take the bus for a change. I do know how to live an exciting life, don't I? 😏
Happy Tuesday to you - have a great day. xx
A trip to town, on the bus, looking for thermals - yep, an exciting day!! (I am grinning here). We're going out for my delayed birthday lunch, to a big garden centre, so I shall enjoy looking round all the clothes, books, foodie section and possibly the Christmas stuff too - I expect they'll have at least some of it out already! And if husband gets bored, he can go and sit in the car! Have a nice day, Joy xx
ReplyDeleteThe highlight of my week - hee hee.
DeleteYour day sounds MUCH better - have a wonderful day. Our garden centres have had Christmas stock for weeks now so I think you will find plenty. xx
Your Christmas Tree tradition sounds delightful and something really to anticipate. Have a lovely day. x x x
ReplyDeleteIt's really pleasant. Christmas starts with Christmas Tree Day in my house. :-) xx
DeleteFunny that you should mention cardigans..as I was thinking this morning about mine…it’s the one cardigan that I possess and it is wonderful. I bought it about four years ago from White Stuff and it still looks as good as new! It was a superb buy and I wear it every evening when it gets chilly!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of ‘Christmas Tree Day’…a lovely idea to make it a special event! 😁
White Stuff is great quality, isn't it? I love a cardi to slip on if needed. xx
Delete(and any excuse for a couple of glasses of prosecco, of course) xx
DeleteYour Christmas Tree Day tradition is lovely, Joy. I am going to hold out until 1st December and then D and I can enjoy decorating our tree together.
ReplyDeleteLovely! I would hold out too but this year I have less time to enjoy it so . . . starting earlier. :-) xx
DeleteWhat a lovely tradition. I try and get our tree up as soon after Remembrance Day as I can, but usually it is up by the first week in December.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It's lovely how these little, family things can become so important. I'm missing a number of Festive Occasions this year - Mum's Christmas Cake day, Stir Up Sunday, Twelve Days of Christmas . . . but I'm still having a Christmas tree up. And Advent is starting a bit earlier! xx
DeleteChristmas Tree Day sounds like a lot of fun. Not sure when we'll put ours up. It's usually pretty late.
ReplyDeleteMine used to be but it has crept earlier and earlier. I love the colour and sparkle! xx
