snow gone
Didn't think I'd be pleased to see it go but yesterday after doing some local christmas card posting and a general reckie of the roads on foot, I ventured out for the first time in a while in the Doxiemobile...got a few pressies. Bumped into my friend P when I was out and about, he is 82 ( though doesn't look it ) but he's still braving the cold weather bless him...after meeting him I bumped into our mutual friend J who I hadn't seen in eons ( yes another J, so many of my friends are J lol ) who is just as elderly...it was so nice to see they were both plucky enough to go out!
N and J came up Monday night...I answered the door in a mask which wasn't the right thing to do, gave N such a fright he thought I was an intruder and nearly decked me lol! J's Mum who is J as well lol...had made me the most beautiful wreath to hang on the door but I'm gonna put it on my festive table, shhh, don't tell!
J was appalled to see I hadn't decorated tree number 2 after he spent forever untangling my decs last week, so I have to do that today as they are coming up again tonight...which may produce another post if all goes to plan.
Things are very laid back here at the mo...I have a few more bits and pieces to do, but not much and I am thinking surely I can't have got it all under control??? I guess Christmas will come whether you are prepared or not lol. As long as I am with friends, have food and warmth there's not much else a girl could ask for :)
Spare a thought for my friend C, her baby is due on the 29th! What a time of year to be so very close to D-day. I wonder if it will be a 2010 or 11 baby? If any lady who is truly glad the snow has gone, it's gotta be her

Enjoying Winter activities
We've been having a blast here in Doxieville :o)
My friend N took us up to a local beauty spot in the snow...might not sound like a big deal but we couldn't have got to it in a normal car as it was on top of a BIG hill lol...he has a lovely monster of a 4x4 so we did it easy!
DS followed his Mother's good example and had driving lessons in the snow!
We've been climbing, Woohoo! N and J have been threatening to take us for ages...last Monday after softening us up with a day of Xmas shopping and lunch out they sprung it on us that we were going that evening...they already had all their gear in the car, so there was no chickening out lol...it was a first for DS and I. I managed to get to the top and touch metal which I was mightily proud of!!! It was minus 4 degrees and with no gloves it was no mean feat! In the end the place closed a bit early because of the extreme cold! N and J said I did really well and I surprised them by being totally ache free the next day, which I put down to the fact that I've been doing my weights again. I've also dropped to 8st 4lbs so I guess there is not much of me to heave up lol. Can't wait to go again :o) I was scared when I first thought of going but now I am mega keen!
This week it was our last chance to go skating before Christmas with a group of friends so I bundled DS and J into the Doxiemobile and we met up with everybody for a good hour of fun and exercise. It was more tiring than the climbing lol...later N joined us for dinner and we spent an amusing evening vegging in front of the television until they slunk off about midnight, oops!
I'm enjoying getting more active again, roll on the lighter evenings when you can cram more out of the day!
Hope everyone has been finding time to get out and about. I can't believe it is Christmas in a few weeks, I've kinda put all the preps on hold, but I'd rather be living in the now any way lol.
