Blogmas, day 22

Good  morning, everyone.  Just three days of Blogmas to go now - thank you for staying the journey with me so far!  :-)

Tis might be a bit rushed.  I'm doing my first fitness class for weeks (because of this bug) online at nine.  Lindsey is doing an online block, just for two weeks but a wide variety of live classes.  If I cough, I cough!!   :-)

Well, I was right about The War Between the Land and the Sea in terms of the main event but wrong about other bits and I'm not sure how I feel about the character development of one person in particular (not giving anything away but if you know, you know).
It was a good old watch though!

Earlier, Alex was round and we did our planned prepping.  Beth came to pick him (and lots of stuff) up and stayed for coffee and a little chat.  It was really nice because I've been a bit isolated over the last fortnight.  Under my tree looks a bit bare now as Beth took the Christmas Day gifts with her and then I took Dave and Anna's round to them.

There's still a few friends' things to do (should be arriving today, thank you, Amazon) but it's pretty much done and dusted and I am really liking the feeling of not having the overriding responsibility.  I wonder if Mum felt like this when I took over or whether she secretly resented it.  I don't know but I hope it was the former.

I worked on the blanked and decided that the spike stitch would work for the border so now the question is can I finish it in the next three days?  No worries if I don't but it would be nice.

Here's today's Advent goodies.  The usual plus a little tube of body butter and a wee pot of marmalade.  The tea is called Holiday Boost.

And the Advent of Change today features Food Cycle and says

Today you have given a healthy hot meal to someone struggling to get by this Christmas.

Good!

Today starts with the online class.  It is also a Kay-day; she's coming at two.  Before then I need to tidy up and the big task is icing the Christmas cake.  Nothing fancy, just a simple icing and I have fimo figures to decorate it.

Should be a nice day!

One of my favourite carols today - O Little Town of Bethlehem.  It makes me feel all festive!
