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.
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!
The spike stitch is just perfect! xx
ReplyDeleteIt's nice, isn't it? I think it will work just fine. And I have learned something. xx
DeleteThe spike stitch is lovely - very classy.
ReplyDeleteNow that's not a term I would have thought of using for this blanket! Thanks, Janice. xx
DeleteI do hope you feel better soon. It does seem to be hanging around!
ReplyDeleteThe spike stitch does look lovely.
Yes, it's a bit of a nuisance, but so, so much better than before so no grumbles - not many, anyway! :-) xx
DeleteYou have been so busy despite being poorly. I can't believe you've nearly finished the blanket

I think that being unwell meant that I had to just sit so was able to get on with my crochet more than I would otherwise do. A silver lining. xx
DeleteI hope you can enjoy your Christmas Day now that you are feeling better. I have a cheesecake to make for Christmas Eve when we are at our daughter’s for lunch. Note stuck to the fridge for tomorrow to remind me! Catriona
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I will. Good luck with the cheesecake. Is it the no-cook kind. I love them. xx
DeleteHappy Christmas, have a lovely time and hope you will be fully recovered for the big day! Melanie
ReplyDeleteThank you - I'm sure I will. xx
DeleteYou've been keeping yourself very busy for a poorly person. That border stitch is a lovely design, it's very impressive looking.
ReplyDeleteJust sitting and feeling sorry for oneself is so jolly boring, isn't it. I'm lucky to enjoy things like crochet. xx
DeleteI'm sorry that nasty bug has lasted so long and caused you to cancel some of the events you had planned . Hopefully you are starting to improve and being able to see people again will give you a boost. I have loved seeing the squares of your Advent blanket and all the other bits and pieces from Advent calendars. A little smile for each day. Take care and I'm sending my best wishes for a happy Christmas and New Year to you and your family. Have a great time x
