Good morning, everyone. It's very much milder this morning. Not a hint of frost and no iciness in the air whatsoever. It feels a bit damp though so fingers crossed we will get some sunshine.
First of all, a link and an apology. I thought the quiet skies pattern was free but it isn't, it costs £6.50 (UK) and it is a download. Really sorry to mislead accidentally.
Here's the link to the pattern

Yesterday was a busy old day and I got a lot done.
I . . .
did four loads of washing, dried some and the rest has dried overnight
brought what I need of the Christmas china from the garden room into the house and had my first coffee of the season in one of my Christmas mugs
changed over cushions, throws, etc
brought the Christmas boxes and the Christmas tree into the house
changed the sheets in the blue room so it is now ready for Alex on Friday night
(the sheets I took off made the fourth load of washing)
got out my Christmas jumpers
sorted out one of the Christmas boxes that seemed far too heavy (it was big candles)
made three sourdough batons for Friday's buffet
made a big pot of soup
went to Lindsey's for personal training
did some ironing
Phew!
The living room, super-tidy yesterday morning, now looks as if a bomb has hit. By the end of today, it will look great but right now I'm trying not to look!
So today starts with a lovely chat over coffee with Chris. Then I will set to and restore order from chaos. I will do the rest of the ironing and I will go to Morrisons and get the weekly shop done and put away. And I have just remembered that I need to change my sheets so there's a bit more washing too.
also, I want to prep anything that can be prepped for tomorrow's buffet. That won't take too long though.
And that's my day today. What is yours? xx
It’s torrential rain with high wind forecast so I must crack on with my sewing for Christmas. First job this morning whilst the machine is up is to repair a pair of PJ bottoms which have split on a leg seam. It’s a tiny job but will extend the life of the now hard to source cotton bottoms! Catriona
ReplyDeleteA stitch in time . . . so very true, isn't it? xx
DeleteIt's 12 degrees here today it was zero yesterday, such strange changeable weather! Today we're at Mum's care home for a visit, so it's all motorway travel and then trying to make conversation. It's a difficult time.
ReplyDeleteSame here. Such a contrast but it's nice not to even feel tempted to turn up the heating.
DeleteI hope the day went well. I remember from visiting Mum - it's so very hard and so sad.
Thinking of you. xx
We have had high winds for 24 hours, and it is still blowing and forecast for the rest of the day. It has been so strong it has caused monster waves and seiche on Lake Erie. This is morning, making my quilt block for our meeting next Wednesday, this afternoon, meeting friends who have been absent in my life for far too long and then having dinner with them. Sounds like the perfect day, and would be if the sun would shine.
ReplyDeleteOh, my word, that sounds fierce.
DeleteI hope you've had an absolutely wonderful time with friends.

I have laundry to do this morning, then later on I'm off to visit daughter number 2 and grandson number 3 for afternoon tea.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a wonderful time. How lovely. xx
DeleteMy goodness you had a very busy day yesterday, and no rest today as you get things in order. Hope that tomorrow you can get a bit of a rest.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
lol - sort of . . . It has been busy but nice-busy! xx
DeleteWow that does sound like a busy day
ReplyDeleteIt was but I enjoyed it too. :-)
DeleteYou did a lot!!!! I've not achieved much today!!!
