A little candle. So I’m still not done and it’s just rolled over to Christmas Day. ARE YOU READY? IS EVERYTHING READY? The table’s cleared at least. That’s not normally finished until just before dinner. So that’s a win. Really really need to hoover but it’s midnight and the hoover’s very loud. Don’t think the neighbours will be happy with that. I’ve finally fixed the candle stick. Well the holder I should say. There ...
Holly. Okay. So this is getting ridiculous now. It’s about 10 to 8am and it’s Christmas eve now. YOU HAVE ONE DAY LEFT! ONE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you ready yet? Because I sure as heck aren’t. Only things to do are tidy and finish decorating but if you’d seen my house you’d know that those two things are no small feat. Mum’s collecting the turkey tomorrow. How awful would it be if the butcher (yes we get a butcher turkey, not a frozen one. ...

A bit too late again but never mind. A snowman. I’ve picked up a knitting project that I’m not sure if I can do in time. Back when the first new arrivals came into the family, some years ago now, I started knitting a teddy bear onesie for the baby boy.

Either about the same time or just a little after I started it mum decided to ...
Merry Winter Solstice. Today was a present. On the subject of presents I’ve finished wrapping mum’s presents but I still have a ton of decorating to do. I saw some birds in the garden today. As I’ve been sleeping in again they’ve been quiet when I’m up. Today I saw something smaller than a great tit. Maybe a little smaller than a blue tit. It was a coal tit. Then I saw its partner. Then I saw both of the blue tits too along with a wood pigeon. I saw two rather round looking ...
It’s an elf. I think. So I was going to do this earlier but I forgot. It’s now the 21st so there’s only four days to go. Are you panicking yet? PANIC!!!!!!! My thoughts today have mainly been occupied with a 17 item shopping list. That’s 6 items that made it onto the board in the kitchen (I stuck a little whiteboard to the freezer last year. We mainly use it to note down items we need to get since we’re usually in the kitchen when we realise we want more of an item) about 5 ...
