I am starting with an apology - The Tuesday aches morphed into a bit of a cold - sore throat and, yesterday, a fuzzy head and blocked nose. I couldn't get my head around writing about Edinburgh but I will at some point.
I went to the meeting which was very productive. However, I had planned to pull out of Personal Training and would have done except that Lindsey sent a message round to say she was poorly so couldn't teach classes today.
Now I am up to date with both.
Advent goodies are . . .
the candle in a tin (I am already using the tins for things like stitch markers, etc)
today's bit of the puzzle
a white tea, coconut and passion fruit tea bag
and a slightly sticky mini-jar of strawberry jam
The crochet square for today (and tomorrow) is a heart.
Chris and I are having our coffee and chat online - I'm probably not infectious now (it's worse before it 'comes out', I believe) but it seems more sensible.
Val and I were going to meet for our Christmas lunch but a few days ago she contacted to cancel as - guess what - she had a bad cold. I messaged her yesterday to say if she hadn't had to cancel, I would, and she said now Mike has it too so one way or another it's a bit yuck for them.
We will have something in the New Year instead - that will be nice.
We will have something in the New Year instead - that will be nice.
So it is another day chilling which means I can get ahead with the blanket, cross stitch and puzzle as, fingers crossed, I am out tomorrow, going to the Thursford Spectacular - although I will have to make a judgement on it tomorrow morning. I do hope I can go but one has to be sensible.
I will get ahead with the crafting anyway.
I will get ahead with the crafting anyway.
Slightly later edit: I've pondered and it just wouldn't be right to potentially share my germs - it's pretty much retired people on these coach trips, more vulnerable, and I'm gutted but mustn't be selfish. So I have emailed Jan and Ray, pulling out, and maybe next year I will go. Perhaps someone else can have my place.)

Today's Advent Calendar music is another I really love, a beautiful performance of 'Mary, Did You Know', sung by One Voice children's choir.
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy
Would one day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy
Would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy
Has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered
Will soon deliver you.
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy
Will give sight to the blind man?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy
Would calm a storm with His hand?
Did you know
That your baby boy
Has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby
You've kissed the face of God?
Mary, did you know?
Oo, Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear;
The dead will live again!
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb!
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy
Is the Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy
Will one day rule the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy
Was heaven's perfect Lamb?
And the sleeping Child you're holdin'
Is the Great I Am!
