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
