Morning all
More horrible Spring cleaning for me today and putting up a Christmas tree for the next tenants ( which happens to be the owner, so he could do it himself ).
Have a good day everyone

Morning all

Drizzly start to the morning here....But it's another day closer to the shortest day and then it's all brightness and sunshine from there (probably not tho...)

Morning all.we have a dull dark and rainy morning here. Nothing uplifting at all about the weather and we are off to a funeral this morning. Puts it all in perspective. Our poor neighbour passed unexpectidly. Whst a horrible time for the family.

Morning all - off to the school for the garden club at lunch time today to spread seaweed and cheer and goodwill to all - probably the last of this year although I still have to split one large bed into 2 smaller ones. :-)

Morning, it is dark this morning but not too cold and it's DRY!! Didn't manage to get the tree up yesterday so hopefully get it done today. Other than that it's supermarket shopping and domestic duties...such an exciting life I lead!

Happy Middayish!
We were promised rainbows too Bren but the rain will have to stop first. Its been quite heavy this morning!
I've found a new way to keep the dogs occupied when its wet outside. Instead of playing fetch in the kitchen I wrap the balls in towels and let them unwrap them. Its a lot more peaceful than having 3 dogs chasing up and down the room. Bess and Ted like fetching balls but Spud (who has to be different) likes sock monsters!. I tie old socks together to make a creature wih 4 legs and Spud skips around with it, shaking and "killing" it. Then Ted will grab a "leg" and they'll have a tug of war!
There's never a dull moment with 3 "puppies" said VC quietly as they're all asleep now.

Have a good day everyone!

1 bed covered in seaweed and 1 flower bed weeded - grandson and one of his friends assisted - probably the last Garden Club before the New Year

Arthur noon all!
Early start cleaning up downstairs and putting up a few more fairy lights as I agreed to host the Xmas Book Club this morning.
Must have been bonkers to offer, but with help from OH everywhere was tidy ( i.e. Hidden) and another dust and vac.
Lots of candles lit...it suddenly look Xmassy!
Lovely buffet provided by everyone.
Glad I hosted, It pushed me to tidying up more than I would have done !
Xmas trees at weekend....plus holly and it'll be sorted...phew
Just need a pressie for son and mom, then food nearer the time. Sorted!

Put lights over the shrubs and bushes both front and back garden, we had put up some decorations inside yesterday and we had decided no tree so bought a decoration with stars, angels and half moons hanging from it also with lights, grand sons come in after school and the youngest said he didn't like it he wanted a tree, so bought a tree at lidle this morning my wife will decorate it then we will await approval. That's my contribution to preparation for Christmas my wife will attend to the rest

I wonder if this would work with children

Had a friend round for tea for eldest, who handily has a younger sibling for youngest to play with, & whose mum is a friend of mine to chat to so all happy.

Healthy children's dinner of pancakes with Nutella or sugar and lemon all happy, OH came home just after they left, & now putting birthday present of a telescope together with eldest while youngest has just fallen asleep.

Whole school trip to the panto tomorrow - not back till 4.30 & no work for me - won't know what to do with myself!
