Edit: daylight and we have freezing fog - pretty but dangerous)
I went to Slimming World and ducked out of doing any lifting, etc. I usually help fold up the gopaks and put them away but not yesterday. They're a lovely bunch though and others stepped in and did it all which was such a relief as I didn't want to leave it all to Heidi.
There were loads and loads of new or returning member; there always is after Christmas and it was nice to see some familiar faces again.

Home again and I just chilled really. It was read, knit, walk about, repeat which seemed to keep everything under a modicum of control without taking any ibuprofen. The gum/jaw has been absolutely no problem whatsoever. After Wednesday there's been no pain, no swelling, no aching - just a bit of a yucky taste in the mouth and they gave me mouthwash for that. Very lucky.
I had a look through my diary to work out the trips I have booked:
Jan: Oliver (and Nutcracker, of course)
Feb: nothing (oh, the hardship!)
March: nothing but I do have the Fun and Fitness weekend at Potters
April: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (stage show)
May: nothing
June: RHS Hampton Court
July: Brighton and Rye (two separate ones)
August and September: nothing
October: Knit and Stitch show
November: nothing
December: Thursford Spectacular and Harrods/carols at RAH.
Some good things to look forward to there, for sure.
Today is more of the same really. I have some ironing and I need, I really need to start sorting out the Christmas stuff. Getting china in and out of the garden room shouldn't be too much trouble now although I'm leaving the heavier boxes for now and the Christmas tree is still sitting in the corner looking cheerful when the lights are on.
So that's the weekend pretty much sorted. How about you?
Stay warm and cosy and have a lovely day. xx
We have had the coldest night last night and the frost is very heavy. I am finally meeting up with some friends today for lunch with was postponed from early December when we had snow. I’m still not 100% but really need to start going out again otherwise I’ll just stay in until the Spring! Catriona
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely time and go safely. xx
DeleteBrrrr, indeed! It is incredibly cold here today, but the temperature is set to rise over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt's the time of year for organising trips away. I've been doing some planning of my own. I'm sure you'll find something in time for February ;)
I'm glad you're no longer in any pain. Xx
To be honest, I'm really happy with what I have booked. I'm sure others will come up but if there's nothing I particularly want to go to, no problem.
DeleteHas your planning been successful? xx
Hard frost here this morning - minus 8, so a bit chilly, but no wind. I need to remove our tree - I've never left it so late and I'm getting a bit fed up with it now!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. Well past its use by date for this season now. I'm going to give it a go tomorrow, just to see, but won't push it.
Delete-8 is very brrrrrrrr, xx
Everything you have planned to do looks very interesting!
ReplyDeleteHere we are expecting snow according to the Met Office!
It's really cold, isn't it? xx
DeleteWe are getting snow and high winds, so staying in where it is nice and warm. I am working on smaller projects so that I can see that I am actually getting things completed.
ReplyDeleteYou have some wonderful trips planned for this year.
God bless.
A cosy, warm home is the best place to be at any time but especially in the bad weather.
DeleteThanks - I am looking forward to them very much. xx
Some lovely trips planned! It's always lovely to have something to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteindeed it is. It's lovely. xx
DeleteYou have some good things booked up already, Joy. I'm glad you enjoyed the 'Nutcracker' and hope 'Oliver' is just as good. Hampton Court should be a lovely event for the Summer too.
ReplyDeleteIn April we are off to see Torville and Dean and I will be going to another dolls house show.I 'm also hoping to get to the Christmas craft show at the NEC to round the year off.
I hope your dental treatment is going ok and it will soon be sorted. Take care x
I missed the chance of Torvill and Dean - I got the date wrong and thought I couldn't go. I'm gutted but there you go, my mistake.
DeleteThe Dolls' House Show sounds wonderful - I'm sure you will love it. xx
