An errand day - started late

We had a lovely evening yesterday out for our Christmas meal with the neighbours. Really nice - we do have a lovely community of houses here.

Consequently it was a bit of a slower start this morning and we maybe didn't get as much done as we figured we might. Ah well - the benefit of being retired.

 

Orinoco appears to have difficulty understanding some things and managed to get his Elves and Elvis mixed up today. What a difference an 'i' can make eh! I did roar with laughter when I saw him this morning.

 

 

We did manage to finish our Christmas cake today too. Nigel did the marzipan and the icing and it was my turn to decorate this year.

I am quite pleased with how it turned out with the splash of red.

 

 

 

We also took Christmas gifts for people like the dentist and made our annual visit tot he cemetery. I find i very strange - I don't go all year - they are not there - but I do always feel the need to lay a Christmas wreath and clean the headstone. I have to say it wears incredibly well and never looks like it needs cleaning.

 

I am hosting a challenge on UKS this week and used one of the pages I made for Charmed Cards and Crafts using the gorgeous Bo Bunny Tis the Season again

 

Thank you for the photos Claire - quite a long time ago now!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today I am thankful for

• jobs accomplished
• scrappy time
• the smell of dinner cooking downstairs.
