At least we are snow free Pauline, even if there currently is a frost!

I'd have liked to have gone yesterday, but this particular cemetery is close to a town center. Although it has its own limited parking, the roads would probably have been clogged. Hopefully, being a Sunday, there will be fewer shoppers around. Sunday shoppers tend to go elsewhere.

Yes, at this time of year - it would be better to go on a Sunday, you won't get near a busy town until after Christmas.

By the way, I forgot to say...

Thank you for the the lovely e-cards everybody.......... they're beautiful. :-D :-D :-) :-)

Well I have at last finished the Christmas gift shopping. All wrapped and in the sacks ready for the Santa Run on Xmas Eve. Last set of outdoor lights are now up and running. Now sitting here with my feet up watching the match :-D

Well done LG - hope the feet up time is relaxing and satisfying, not infuriating with poor performance!

The Tale of the Woolen Glove.

In preparation for the visit to grave-hunt, a pair of black woolly gloves were unearthed from the cupboard. It seemed hardly worth putting them on for the short walk to the car.
10 Minutes later when we reached our destination, one woolly glove has done a disappearing act. In a pocket? Under the car seat? Nope. Not a sign. Sigh.
Upon our return home - Hurrah! One woolly glove is spotted on the Drive! It must have been dropped twixt the front and car doors.
With great glee it is carried in doors where it will be reunited with its twin. And where is the twin? Gawd knows. Now that one is missing!!!

(And to cap it all, the grave we were looking for hasn't got a headstone :-0 )

S***s law :-D. That really frustrates me if the headstone is no longer in place. That was the story of my Meashams in Repton a few were in place but not those that really mattered

Chrissy shopping completed. Gifts wrapped. House untidy so that is this weeks extra task. Spent the day shopping with Blondie. Achieved some of her gift aims but she still has some to go.

Poured with rain all day. Terrible un-summer weather. Still overcast and cool this morning. I want my summer back.

Off to work, work this morning. Tonight I need to send a pile of e-cards to those who have done likewise. I now have all your email addresses, which I had lost the last time my computer chucked a hissy fit. (Well most of them disappeared).

Noticed the background wallpaper on this site has changed from patterned to plain green. Less fussy.

Morning Maz - tis the season to rush around like a lunatic and collapse in front of the TV - lol. I did spot you on the throne last night, but you looked so peaceful, it would have been wrong to disturb you.

Did you have a good day at work work Aunty, with no little critters around? Even better if the grown up versions were also absent! If Blondie can't get her shopping done, it sounds as if some people will end up with I.O.U's ;-)

Ooo I used to hate that when I was working more hours. The offspring and OH used to sit on their backsides (or play) while I was rushing around trying to create the 'Perfect Christmas'. On a couple of occasions they were all lined up, including OH, and told that it was MY HOLIDAY TOO!!!

That's probably why I go into Bah Humbug mode at this time of year.

Morning all.

It's very cold today and the roads are bad. I wanted to go to the cemetery with the holly wreaths but think I'll wait till Wednesday........... it's supposed to be a bit warmer by then.

Think I'll just wrap a few presents up instead. What I really need to do is clean the windows.......... but wrapping presents is more appealing.
