Homemade Christmas

First of all some more cards.

I made six of these chair back name tags using different Christmas baubles. These will be a Christmas present presented prettily on a bed of tissue paper in a wicker basket. (That's the idea anyway.)

This is what I did today

8.00 - Breakfast in bed - cup of tea, slice of toast with Marmite on, morning pills

Get up

9.00 - Tidy up kitchen, front room then start to make 2 lots of bread - white and granary

10.00 - short stint at the charity shop to cover an absent volunteer

12.00 - dinner - soup from leftover pork chop casserole

Fold drying and put in more washing

Knock back bread

Wash up and tidy up again

Ironing

Peel veg. for tea

Start roast, cauliflower cheese, oniony new potatoes with garlic and thyme, carrots

6.00 - Tidy kitchen - again

Surf on computer and sort out this blog post

After this I shall do some knitting - gloves for birthday boy

No room, no room

The bird of paradise is taking over. (Spot the cat.)

Walking with my friend

We both did this walk to Rossall Point when we were little, she with her granddad and me with my dad. We may have passed by each other 50 years ago. Who knows?

She also visited the swan pond in her youth.

The ducks were hungry today but we had no food to offer.

No swans this time round though.
