Blogmas, day 10

Good morning, everyone.  How's the week going?

Today's Advent stuff - the candle in a tin, some hand cream (I'm getting through a lot of hand cream at the moment), a chai black tea bag, some cute Christmas tree earrings and today's Advent of Change charity is Re-engage:
Today you have enabled a lonely older person to join a local social group, giving them companionship and community for years to come.

This reminds me how fortunate I am to live in a social and sociable area and to be fit enough to go out and about, enjoying life.

Catch up for 7-12-25 which was Willow, a charity that supports seriously ill young adults.  
Today you have given a seriously ill young adult and their family precious memories together on a special day out.

I didn't do any of the cross stitch yesterday so need to double up today and the blanket square is the second snowflake.
Yesterday's puzzle section was, I think, the hardest yet but I got it done eventually.

I had a pleasant time with my friend yesterday morning and spent the afternoon resting/snoozing.  After having to wake early on Friday morning for the coach, I am now waking that early every day which is becoming a bit on the boring side.   I hope that particular habit breaks soon.

Today I have a meeting in school, wearing my governor's hat and this afternoon it is personal training so there should be time for the Christmas crafting and the puzzle.  Fingers crossed anyway.

And finally, the Advent calendar music for day ten.

I thought it was about time for a carol something traditional.  So I have chosen Away in a Manger sung by Libera.  Wonderful.
