HAPPY NEW WEEK
I hope everyone has a good week.
I regret I have nothing to report tonight. We had high winds and Arctic cold all week. My house was freezing, and I accomplished exactly nothing except too much sleeping. I hibernated along with all the wildlife! LOL
I do hope all of you will be safe from Storm Darragh tonight. It sounds like a wicked bad storm. Sending protective energy to all of you.
Love and hugs to everyone.
ANNETTE - I'm happy that the AZ house is almost off your hands - you will feel a great sense of relief, I'm sure.
OG - if J is more cheerful, you and EE will be happier, I think.
ROSY - Is your OH home yet? You have been through a difficult time.
LINDY - have you finished your Christmas shopping for the family ? I give money these days which is very uninspired , but the family don't complain !
RUSTY - I apologise for the deletion of your post which told us about your birding day.
My middle daughter was at the orthopaedic clinic on Monday. She is doing well and pottering about the house. Very bored, though.
Don’t worry Heather. I will post tomorrow.
HELLO ALL, not been on for some time. What with doing extra on my cpap machine and getting around which is painful to say the least not had the time to come on. However, I've not forgotten you all and do hope that all is well with you.
To you all hope you all have a lovely time with family and friends.

Well, i think everyone must be busy with Christmas preparations! Lynnette - good to hear from you. I am sorry you are having a struggle just now. I hope things settle down.
Annette - it is good news that the AZ house is nearly settled and off your hands. That offer of credit in lieu of repairs save a lot of hassle doesn’t it? I hope you enjoyed the concert. Lindy - I know what you mean about there not being much on TV. Mind you, I enjoyed the Shetland series. Did you see it? I have bought the Christmas Radio Times (a long standing tradition) Frankly, in all that programming, there isn’t much I really need to watch!! Fortunately, I have some friends who keep supplying me with detective books and my sister gives me lighter ones she has bought at garden centres so I spend a lot of time reading,
Heather - excellent news re your suspected kidney problem. So pleased. I think you asked about my mammogram results. My appointment is on January 8th but the radiologist said if I hadn’t heard after 2 weeks I could probably assume all was well. It’s not 2 weeks yet so I still get feather apprehensive when the post arrives. i am wondering how OG and co are. I am hoping the lack of posting is because they are busy.
On Thursday I went birdwatching with the ladies at Erddig (a National Trust property) As it was very muddy (indeed flooded) on our usual path, we went in a different route which turned out to be a very pleasant 3 miles. We saw goldcrest (Britain’s smallest bird) which I love to see, long tailed tits (which are my favourite because they go round in twittering friendly flocks) and many others. We had lunch in the cafe there (just a sausage bap and a cup of tea) ans then went round the house which is decorated up for Christmas. To be honest, I was feather disappointed. It was based on the poem “Twas the Night Before Christmas “ A nice idea but they had decided that the place needed to be dark to represent night. The trees and artificial candles were very sparkly as were the chandeliers but I couldn’t really see the other displays in the rooms which they had obviously spent quite a lot of time creating. One interesting fact I gleaned from a guide. There were 13 trees and each one had to be sterilised before it could come into the house so that no bugs and beasties could get into the valuable furniture and carpets. (How do you sterilise a Christmas tree????)
Yesterday and today I was in and around home shopping and cleaning!!! A friend is coming this afternoon so I am going to put my little Christmas tree up.
